I dropped by to see ...Long time no see, my friend! I dropped by to see what you've been up to and loved seeing this cool trip. So glad you had such a good time. I have been MIA for a good long while now, but I still plan to return to blogging. I miss everyone, and though it seems to have changed, I still enjoy reading and visiting.<br /><br />Your bra! I had a similar mishap IN A WEDDING. I was in my fortie, yes I know, and I sat down on the front row during the ceremony. Well, my long line bra was too long, and it pushed up when I sat. My boobs were sitting on a SHELF. All I could think of was, "Oh, my, the pictures!" So another bridesmaid reached up under my gown on the right, and I tugged on the left to try to bring it down. LOL The choir must have really wondered. Glad you weren't impaled on the metal. I hate metal in bras. Hate it. I would rather hang to my waist than be tortured.<br /><br />Sending you great big hugs and hoping you have a wonderful spring into summer!<br /><br />xoxoxox<br /><br />Sheila :-)The Quintessential Magpiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04010105595059019883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702005723584006500.post-15246618139154037232016-04-28T12:27:44.791-05:002016-04-28T12:27:44.791-05:00You had a wonderful trip and what an experience it...You had a wonderful trip and what an experience it must have been!<br />The scenery looks beautiful and I know that it was, you must have been in heaven just being in the midst of it all.<br />Sorry about the bra mishap.<br />I have a story to tell about my dear Mom.

My husband jokes that my idea of roughing it is a room without an ocean view. I'm glad that in the end, you got your water view.

By reading your post i'm beginning to feel we have a few things in common. First off, I love how you refer to your husband as, the husband, I do the same thing when I post about mine haha, then we also have been married for 30 years,I've also been blogging about as long as you have and finally, well.....we are both blonde haha.<br /><br />I hope you learn to ski, its really fun!

And at my age, the girls aren't as cooperative (perky) as they used to be so I probably shouldn't let them out without supervision (support). ha! I really enjoyed your post and am glad you had such a nice time!

What a fun trip you had! You had me giggling with the whole bra mishap! Lol! I know several people who can't have feather pillows...good thing that blouse could perform double duty for you too. :) I'm in awe at those pretty views. The scenery there looks amazing. What a sweet gesture for that girl to give you the waterfront view too!

Guess I haven't been online as much for a while. The trip looks like fun, beautiful scenery! I HATE when the underwires break through, never at home, always when I'm out somewhere and have to deal with it as best I can. Ugh. I'm guilty of leaning too hard on black and grey in my wardrobe too, I really need to branch out, but it's hard! I have some more colorful experiments in my closet that seldom get worn. The polka dot shirt is adorable and dots are one of the few prints I really love.<br />Enjoy your Spring weather, I am over the moon with joy at the warmth.

I rather doubt I WILL ever have one there, because I can't see myself finally flying at my age when my husband won't even go to an airport.... :( Ahhh! But, I can do without another poke in the ribs or wherever with my underwire. (In fact, I've got it in my mind to STOP with the underwire! I shouldn't have to suffer any longer at my advanced age! ;) )<br /><br />I love'd all your pictures, and I'm loving how you seem to begin your posts with beautiful flowers. They're so very pretty. And I'm glad you had good rooms and good restaurants. The thing I am most admiring of is you going off to shop alone! Ed wouldn't LET me do that. sigh<br /><br />Somehow I knew that darling girl was going to give you a room on the side you wished for.<br /><br />It's been in the '80s here! Argh!

We flew up to Vancouver a few years ago and stayed in a hotel around the same area as you. We then took a cruise back to San Francisco and it was a glorious trip. So pretty up there and did rain for a few days then. I can't tell you the names of the restaurants we ate in but probably some of the same ones you did. My memory is terrible on these sort of things but I know I certainly couldn't have made it around without my bra!!..Happy Tuesday..JudyJudy at GoldCountryCottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10282585980012016892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702005723584006500.post-2201735358308627742016-04-19T18:17:25.772-05:002016-04-19T18:17:25.772-05:00Not too long or too many photos, Jane....loved hea...Not too long or too many photos, Jane....loved hearing about your trip! We have Canada on our "bucket list," but most probably the western side. It's always nice to get home after a vacation, and even better when you come home to nice weather. It's about time, right?<br /><br />I just wanted to let you know that I tried your recipe for Roasted Chicken Provencal....so delicious! I'm planning to do another one of those "What's Cookin'?" posts and plan on your recipe definitely being in the lineup. I cannot remember the last time I bought chicken thighs; I always do chicken breasts, so this was such a nice switch and didn't even get dried out when I reheated it for leftovers....YAY! So, thank you very much for sharing your wonderful recipe!<br /><br />Warm hugs,<br />CarolAn Oasis in the Deserthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03775583025686145582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702005723584006500.post-38097975907640067232016-04-19T18:06:30.417-05:002016-04-19T18:06:30.417-05:00l loved reading all about your travels to Vancouve...l loved reading all about your travels to Vancouver and beyond:-) Your photos are wonderful and l especially enjoyed seeing the pics of your visit to the Olympic village. l had a chuckle at you wearing your shirt on your pillow, who'd have thought it could be so versatile:-) How lovely to catch up with blogpals and have a coffee and a laugh together.

I always am after vacation. My dog is 11 and is about blind and deaf! He has a cataract in one eye and scar tissue on the other one. He doesn't hear us when we come home, so we have to find him in the house and let him know we're home. I hate to see him decline like this. However, despite his problems, he's just as feisty as ever when he's awake. So, I guess he's managing fine.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16938178631385143773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702005723584006500.post-64656774399971653972016-04-19T09:49:49.755-05:002016-04-19T09:49:49.755-05:00Sounds like you had a wonderful trip!
