Holidays- Vancouver, Grandma, Kalua

This past week, I was on vacation from work. With that, my bros and I headed out to Vacouver to visit Jack and Aim... We left Monday and came back Thurs night, cutting the trip a day short.... We heard about Grandma's passing on our way out to Vancouver... since the funeral was on Sat, we decided to continue onto Vancouver for a few days.... upon arriving on Monday night, we headed to the Golden Phoenix off of Broadway for some chinese food... Tues, we went for Dim Sum at the Pelican off of Hastings and than for supper, we went for all you can eat sushi at Ebi off of Granville and about 41st St... Wed, viet for supper and than ate Churches (fried chicken) at Aim's for supper... everyday, we had BBT, and for the weather, it basically was cool and rainy while we were there.... at night, we played either MJ or poker.... that was our trip

Friday morning, after dropping the bakery stuff at work for AP and Neriss, my bros and I headed out to Regina to stay with Peg.... after getting up at 5am Sat morn, we headed to Saskatoon to be at my uncle's place by 9am, and to meet up with the rest of the family.... we headed to the funeral home, than the cemetery, and than to the temple... we were done around 12:30pm, headed to Timmy's for lunch, and than back to uncle's place.... after a short rest, we headed to the Mandarin Rest for supper, for 80 pple, at 5pm... got stuck at the vegetarian table, but was able to slip to another table for some meat dishes later on.... after 7 courses, we were out on the road by 7pm... we got home at about 12:30am, and man, was I ever TIRREDDDD!!!!!... funny how only tragedy can get all our family together in one place, even though we discuss getting together once every year!!! last time we were all together was for grandpa's funeral, seven years ago..... only ones missing this time was Anton and Jason.... last time, everyone made it.... oh well.. we even plan on gettting together next Aug for a family cruise along California... will it happen?? I would guess......no!!!.... Grandma....RIP!!!! God be with you!!!
