Well it's a Sunday, a miracle day off...so I thought I would show you my Sunday...have fun!!!!

Yipppeee Sunday...fun...sun...

On my way leaving home
I was very excited to have a Sunday off and just do a few things I wanted to do around home.  I was invited upstairs at Shaun's and having lunch with friends (people around the community) and I needed to get out there early enough to get back home by noon.
So I had a list of things I needed to do before heading out to get things done.
1. Video store to pick up movie for the night.
2. London drugs...needed drugs...ok kidding needed to computer section..and shop for a few other things.
3. Kerrisdale cameras, for photo paper and ink for my printer.
4. Market on Millstream, they have the best cupcakes.
I am also partial to the Market on Millstream...because I love it there they have everything I need (almost)...and I work there in the evenings in administration.
Still more down and it is not covered in snow now:):)
..playing on the computers...and they really are the best people I have had the pleasure to work for.  They are approachable and it's a family owned business, and everyone knows almost everyone..or  they are related..or something.  I didn't know a soul when I was hired but I know them pretty good now.  I used to tease them saying they must have run out of friends or relatives because I wasn't either:):)  They a real down-to-earth people...and very well just real:):) Hard to explain:)
A few extra stops along the way...and then back home to have lunch with a few great people...

The day started out sunny, but still on the cools side, but I did not care...I was having the day off (a miracle).
Tuggs my trusty dog wanted to come with me...so camera in hand, dog in the back of my car...and away I went.

I thought I would take some pictures of how things look to where I go, so YES some of these pictures were taken from the car out my window I can't stop in the middle of the highway...I never have taken pictures out of a car before...so I am a newbie to all this and it's not the easiest to take photo while driving...but hey I gave it my best shot...being as how my dog does not know how to drive, nor can he operate the camera...(hee....hee...).

So come along on my journey...try to enjoy some of the view...and have fun with me while I do a bit of shopping...and toddling around.

Okay are you ready!!!!!!  Lets go!!!!!!!!
