A bit of a different week this week. Sometimes busy - sometimes quiet.

Our German friends, Clemens, Griseldis and family have been in B.C. for almost two weeks. We had them over for dinner when they first arrived and had a good visit. We had not seen Clemens for nearly 20 years (at least he looks pretty much the same!). Clemens stayed with our family for 6 months in 1989-90 while finishing his articles with a law firm in Burnaby. In recent years we have again connected with Clemens' family. His daughter, Rebecca, stayed with us for 6 weeks two years ago and his son, Richard, was in Vancouver for the past 6 months (hosted by a family in Coquitlam).

Clemens and family travelled to Ucluelet, Nanaimo and Whistler before returning this week. We were able to spend some more good time with them this week including a wonderful dinner hosted by Clemens at Season's restaurant in Queen Elizabeth Park. Our whole family are happy to have these good friends.

Monica had a Bev treatment this week and that went well. Her condition continues to be stable.

Marley has again gone to Purdue to visit her boyfriend, Ross. So, this weekend our house was pretty quiet. Monica and I relaxed quite a bit. Today, on the spur of the moment, we decided to "Walk and Roll" at Ambleside in West Vancouver. It was another wonderful outing. The walk along the seawall was spectacular. In addition, there was both an arts festival (the Harmony Festival, I think) and a farmers market taking place. So, there was lots of food, music, art and people-watching.
