Kim and I (Ryan) have known each other since 1992, when Ryan started teaching. Kim was an educational assistant in the school, her two daughters went to the school, and her mom was our school secretary. Even though we didn’t know each other very well the first year, we became close friends after that and she probably knows me better than I know myself, in some ways.
So, I was pretty pleased that she was able to take some time and come up to Vancouver and visit. She was only here a couple nights and it has been like a bake oven in the city, so we moved slowly, and also went to the Second Beach Pool to cool off …
Well, okay. With guys like this walking around, it was difficult to stay cool … but we had fun watching them try to stay cool.
And then we tried to take a picture of ourselves …
… but I jumped the gun on that one. Take two!
Ah, that’s better!
While Kim was here, our friend Rich stopped by for a visit. Rich lives in Vancouver, though this summer he is in a production of Oklahoma! on Vancouver Island. He was able to get to Vancouver on one of his nights off and the four of us went to dinner and walked along the sea wall. It was so great to see him and catch up! But, we forgot to take the camera with us and, as such, have no Rich photos to share. 🙁 Ryan will see Rich back here in Vancouver in February during the Olympics. That is going to be a blast!
It’s so great to have friends visiting us here. This has been a memorable month!
