Day #14 of summer vacation and loving this ;-)
Decided to take my workout outside today and ducked into a pine forest of 178 hectares nearby, happily 5 mins away from home. A good way to escape the heat, it has a 5.5km perimeter trail as well as shorter trails looping around two lakes. All SHADY. Have been reluctant to do this park since a black bear was spotted at the next door neighbor’s compost. Lol felt fierce and, praise God, still alive!! Hope to do the same tomorrow..... Tonight will also be a change in the routine...am restaurant hopping with my daughter.:) Hardly see her these days as she is very busy working full time. Excited to meet up with her and stay out of the kitchen.;-) Actually almost never go out to eat as its too expensive, but am grateful for some holiday savings. Lol don’t really care about the chef’s signature Greek dishes for now...channeling my inner warrior and keeping things simple and healthy: ICE cold water, greek salad (no feta cheese this time) with dressing on the side, and a skewer of chicken. I have so got this.;-)
Happily urban dining has been a theme this week? For my son’s 17th the other day, we lunched at a restaurant downtown in Yaletown. Formerly a heavy industrial area dominated by warehouses and rail yards, since the Expo 86, it has been transformed into one of the most densely populated neighbourhoods in the city. The marinas, parks, high rise apartment blocks, and converted heritage buildings comprise a significant urban regeneration project. We chose trendoid and yuppie Cactus Club which has a killer patio. Again was cautious with my meal, but splurged with my light beer. Hell yeah, very special occasion. ;-)
Liking this laid back lifestyle of late.;-) To all my buddies: stay extraordinary and God bless your day.:)

Glen: Glad you liked Yaletown.:) Your family has a knowledgeable tour guide here any time;-)...and once I get my new digs, a place where you can crash as well.:) Lol!!! have to admit my Greek salad looked PATHETIC, but seriously, am completely full and stoked about my calorie counts today.;-) Cathy: Thanks.:)) Hope you are having an extra special evening with Ashley.:) You and I have that in common...completely ga-ga about our kids.;-) Do you think its the Latin in our blood??? Lol honestly did not miss the feta!!! And if I want to lose another lb this week, I have to FIGHT for it.;-)

Love your descriptions of the areas you visit/live in. It all sounds so picturesque. Pine forest sounds like an amazing place to walk but I'd be a head case if I had even a small hint of knowledge of a bear!!!! LOL 'm sure most bears do not want to see us either and run the other way. I've seen one too many television dramas!
Rocking it with the food choices, but I LOVE feta :) It's so nice when you can have a nice dinner with one of your children. they have no idea how much we miss them when the days to day parenting is over :( Someday if they are blessed with their own hopefully they will know that the over the top, do anything for that sweet baby they hold was exactly how their own parents felt. That never dawned on me until I had my own sweet babies. Savor the moments...
