Ribs and Football and Laundry

Movie Crew trailers at Oak bay marina in Victoria, BC - I wonder what they were filming?????

Its a quiet day here at the big house - laundry, NFL football and a big load of Donald's famous ribs for dinner.  Our youngest son and his friend, Doug, from Prince Rupert informed us they will be dropping by for Sunday dinner, and could Dad make those ribs? Donald cuts up the ribs, covers them with his secret rub recipe, then puts pieces in saran and tinfoil, and cooks them in the slow cooker for awhile.  Then he unwraps them, lets them cool, then BBQ's them with Cattle Boys BBQ sauce.  They are pretty good. The work project for me went again till 9 pm last night, so I am just doing some light housework today, as I am back at it at 8:30 am tomorrow.  My sister in law, Elizabeth, said it was time to retire with those hours - let me tell you, it sounds good to me.  I come home to read the blogs and that de-stresses me! We did go out yesterday to our RV storage area to block off our spot and put up a sign with our name on it reserving the area. We did the same for our RV friends also, as they are busy with a huge kitchen renovation, and we were going there anyway.  If I get up more energy, I will go and print up some of the wedding pictures to send off to family and friends.

Canisbay Cottage Bed and Breakfast

Great Blue Heron in our B&B Tree

We stayed at a lovely B and B in Victoria: Canisbay Cottage.  It was one block back from the ocean, and off our suite's balcony, we had a view of the ocean.  This lovely bird has been coming to the B and B for about four years, sitting in this same tree.  There were apparently quite a few blue heron's in the immediate area, many in Beacon Hill Park nearby.  A couple of years ago, a number of eagles moved in and ate the heron eggs or destroyed them and chased the herons away.  The owners think that this heron is one sad bird. The hosts of the B and B, Mr. and Mrs. Nicol, were fantastic and made us feel so welcome.  It was a very relaxing place to stay, and very much like home during a busy hectic time. Thanks Canisbay Cottage!  ( even though we did not have the time to take our RV all the way there, we did check out the RV park in Victoria near Esquimalt - didn't look too appealing ).
