an addendum to the last blog

Don just read my last posting.  “Why didn’t you send your Christmas love to Dave?“ he said. 
“Why would I?  He’s going to be here for Christmas, he’ll be getting my Christmas love all day long,“ I responded, my face making a that’s-a-stupid-question expression.
“David won’t read it like that,“ Don said.  But Don doesn’t know what he’s talking about!  David will know that the reason I sent my Christmas love to Emily and Will is because they are all the way on the other side of the world, enjoying Christmas there with other relatives.  David knows where he is going to be for Christmas, and that I am thrilled that he is coming and am going to love him to bits. 

Silly Don…

Oh and by the way, even though it said on the Internet that the Chinese garden was open today, it wasn’t.  The public Chinese garden was however and a woman told us that it was nicer than the one you have to pay for that was closed.  We could see the other garden through the grate on the other side of the wall.  It was around the size of a large basement.  It was fine enough I guess, but not worth the drive downtown and a morning spent not writing.  For those of you who are visiting Vancouver in the winter, this is a definite miss.  I don’t know how it is in the summer, maybe beautiful, but it is quite small, on the border of a very challenged area of town.  There was a lot of speculation in the car ride on the way home as to how much cash exchanged hands to get this attraction rated as one of the top ten things to see in Vancouver.  It is my opinion that your time would be better spent walking in one of the parks or along the sea wall, or taking one of the hiking trails.

Or to be perfectly honest, better spent writing.  Which is what I am finally off to do at 2:41pm.  Thank God.  (I find I get a little grumpy if I want to write and haven’t been able to get to it.)
