Oh what a glorious day in the neighborhood or at least at our house today. Got up bright and early and had a lovely breakfast with Matt and then finished painting the back bedroom, Love love love the red and tomorrow is wallpaper day, Can not wait. Also recovering a stool in the back room with the same red corduroy material.
This morning I got the best surprise of my day as well, my best friend from school called and I got to talk with Sandi for almost an hour. Let me tell you bout my Sandi, probably the most beautiful person I have ever had the pleasure of knowing in my life and she is always there for me , no matter if I am gone for 5 years or 5 minutes. Her and I have always managed to stay in touch and somehow stay close.It is one those rare relationships in life that is just everlasting and unquestionable. It just works and has for 30 years.
Any how she is now a beautiful married lady with a wonderful man and the cutest twins and a gorgeous teenage daughter and still manages to work a full time job. I envy that some times, having kids and a job that you like, especially the kid part.
So Sandi called and her and I got to catch up on the phone for an hour, about everything that has happened in the last few months. I can't wait until the next time we go to Calgary and she can meet Matthew. Matthew has met most of the important people in my life and thus far they have all loved him. I am sure that Sandi will as well.
Matt and I also went for lunch yesterday with Bo and Hope and the restaurant was very nice, but not quite my taste. let me start by saying the company was great, this meaning Matt, Bo and Hope, we all had a very nice time. I do have to say that the food quality was perfect, the service amazing , but to be honest the price for what you got for portion just didn't work for me. When I go out for any sort of meal I look for the trifecto of restaurants which to me is great service, amazing food quality and value to portions. I rarely find all three.So in the end Au Petit Chavignol did not make the cut of my favorite restaurants here in Vancouver.
We also stopped over at Bo and Hopes last night for a visit and had a drink with them. Always nice to visit with them and spend time at their house or ours. I have been trying to limit myself to one or two drinks though on days if I have a drink now, so do sit for too long and just visit while drinking is hard for me. Next week is Hopes birthday and they have invited us to the party on Salt Spring Island, would love to visit the island as both Matt and I have never been there, but we do have the animals which we always have to consider when we want to go anywhere. It is kind of like having children. You either have to find a sitter who you trust or take them with you and lets face it packing up all 4 of them in the car is never too much fun and then having to take them with you, cuts out part of your holiday!
It is also my sisters birthday next Friday so i want to take the time to wish my sister Cher a happy birthday. Actually just got off the phone with her and we talked for quite a bit ass well. I am so glad that I am able to be there for her and that she is there for me.
It seems the women in my life are always and have always been so much closer to me and more supportive through the years.
Well time to get my ass in gear and get to the wallpapering of the back bedroom. Talk to you all later and have a great weekend from your gay Neighbors.
