The Ole Homestead

It was a cloudy morning so CJ and I decided to check out one of the summer movies. The one that seemed the most interesting to both of us was Ramona and Beezus. It was playing up north in Vancouver. It was a good movie - probably the most serious movie CJ has ever seen, but she seemed to enjoy it.

On our way home we drove by the house where Mama and Daddy used to live. I showed CJ where Daddy had to put up chicken wire next to the fence so Big B couldn't escape and take himself for a walk when he was a puppy. We also stopped by the old park up the road where we walked the dogs almost every day we lived there. We hiked up to the top trail where Big B loved to walk. It was full of memories as tomorrow would have been his 16th birthday.

Then CJ was excited to check out the play area. If there was a play area there before, it certainly was not as nice as what we found.
We continued back towards home, but first stopped in downtown Vancouver to check out one of CJ's favorite stores, have some lunch and then wander around viewing the chalk drawings and messages people had left in the park earlier.
