Madeline on the Computer

Did I ever mention that our cat Madeline loves computers? She is particularly fond of laptops like the Toshiba tablet PC. 

Opus Hotel

This is the hotel room we had in Vancouver. I liked the sliding doors to the bathroom, the clean lines, and the window that was the entire back wall of the bathroom. My favorite part of the bathroom was the heated floors!

Alien Fruit

This is a weird type of fruit we saw at the Granville Public Market.
 

The Aquabus Experience

When we were in Vancouver we took an Aquabus to Granville Island, which had a large public market and lots of shops/art galleries. Loved the concept of the Aquabus...Some guy tools around in a little boat until he sees people at the end of the dock waiting to go to or from the island. On one of our trips a local guy told the "bus driver" a story about how he told the driver on a different day to "keep the change" when he paid. Apparently all of the other people on the Aquabus were tourists, and after hearing this figured that they were expected to tip. The driver for that day asked the guy if he could ride his boat all day. :)
 

No, it's not a lawn ornament...

I've been wondering why my hydrangea isn't doing well...And now I know why. I never thought of deer as having expressions, but doesn't this doe look audacious? John is on our front porch asking it not to eat our plants.
