It was lovely to see her again and she took me inside and showed me the beautiful facility and her 2 bedroom apartment.  Eileen has suffered many hospital visits and set backs but her spirit is unfailing!!

We went out for lunch

and caught up on everything and then I took her back home said goodbye but was happy to learn she and her daughter are coming to Nanaimo next Thursday for the day, so we shall meet then….

I continued on and felt the need for a snooze and some sun and found this little gem just down the road!!

After the concert I drove for about one hour and found a nice quiet place to spend the night, the usual tea and cookies and watched a Criminal Minds DVD.
