Casino Royale

A few days ago I asked Klaus if he would join me again to see the Nutcracker ballet. His answer: only if you come to see Casino Royale...

Snow shoeing on Cypress

Cypress Bowl

We went snow shoeing on Cypress today. The weather was fantastic and we were able to see the ocean when we came back to the base. That's why it says "Beautiful British Columbia" on our licence plates.

Evening walk

Vancouver

We went for an evening walk and apero along the False Creek loop.

Now we are hungry. It's spaetzle for dinner and a Shiraz sparkling wine.

Christmas Day, 2006

Snow shoeing on Mount Seymour

Mount Seymour

Last night one of my suitcases was under the Christmas tree adorned with a ribbon. Once I opened the gift I found two pairs of snow shoes in it. A great gift as we like to go snow shoeing on the local mountains. So we tired them out today and Klaus packed a backpack full with sausages, Tilsiter cheese, a bottle of red wine, no cork screw, and a thermos with hot chocolate.

It was great fun and I took some fantastic pictures as well.

We had raclette for dinner. We bought half Swiss and the other half Quebec raclette cheese. They were both good but we liked the Swiss better.

First day of Christmas vacation

poinsettia

We did our grocery and wine shopping for the Christmas days today on Granville Island. To our great surprise it was not a zoo at all. Except Les Amis du Fromage was of course packed as always.

Stockings

stockings

Last year I made this beautiful Christmas stocking for Mona. I liked it so much that I made Klaus and myself some new stockings too.

Samichlaustag, 2006

Every year well in advance Klaus reminds me of the fact that December 6 is the day of his Patron Saint. How can I forget... This morning I was greeted by: do you know what day it is? Oops, I forgot to place the Lübecker marzipan on his desk last night.
