We moved to Birch Bay, which is right on the border of Canada. The park is nice, we found a spot on the end of a row that is a bit muddy. This apparently has been the wettest Spring that the PNW has seen in many years. The birds found my birdfeeders right away 😊
I found out about these great little “Free Little Art Galleries” which are like Free Little Libraries, for art. Anyone can donate art, take art or just enjoy the art. This concept is such an amazing one! If I still had a house, I would put one in front of it. I went to three in this area. I left some of my handmade cards and collected a few pieces.
We went into Canada and it was a fun day. Funny thing, Ed has this hilarious routine that Mama and I joke about…he tends to always go to Walmart, no matter the area we are. Well, the first stop we made was, you guessed it, Walmart! LOL! We did have fun looking at some of the different products they have…like Ketchup flavored chips (even cheetos, yuck) and Ed’s favorite, Kinder Eggs. We then went to the Port of Vancouver, where there was a Disney cruise ship, we rode a ride called Fly Over Canada (like Soarin’ at Disney), we had lunch at Red Robin and shopped at a touristy souvenir shop.
We spent most of our days at Birch Bay just chillin’, since it was pretty rainy. We enjoyed relaxing and having just some ‘off’ time. We did go to Peace Arch Park. It is a neat little park…it’s kinda funny, as there is literally just a shallow ditch that separates the US and Canada. We had ice cream at a little local shop, they call it ‘hard’ ice cream here.
**Ed has a wound on his lip that has been there for about 6 months. He saw a doctor about in Oregon last month. They gave him some medication, but it didn’t heal like it should. We have been waiting for the VA to get a referral for a Dermatologist. We finally gave up and went to the ER, which didn’t really do anything other than hopefully get the referral for the Dermatologist on a faster track.
