Back to Yaletown |

This evening we headed into Vancouver to attend a “Strata Meeting” for our building, Yaletown Park 3. It was sparsely attended (only about 36 owners present) with a few latecomers arriving part way through and it was our first experience at such a thing. We met several other owners, from a variety of backgrounds; some, like us, first time condo owners and others experienced downtown dwellers. It was interesting, helpful and we learned a lot so well worth attending. We brought Sam, the cat, with us again as she seems to be far less traumatized by new surroundings than she is by being left alone at night. After our meeting Rick and I ventured over to Urban Thai, our most favourite Thai restaurant, and grabbed some take-out so we could enjoy it at “home”. Sam was waiting for us as we walked in the door (she can hear us coming down the hall) and we were loudly greeted. While Sam remained inside watching us through the patio doors, we sat outside and enjoyed our feast. Last week on a utility pole we noticed a poster advertising a search for a lost cat. It seems the cat “Martin Scorsese” jumped off of a second floor balcony and hasn’t been seen since. It has made us a little more cautious with Sam because it wouldn’t be difficult for her to jump off of or fall from the railing and being on the fifth floor, we’re afraid the outcome would be disastrous. The weather is supposed to be nice for the next few days so hopefully we can complete our painting in record time and spend some time outside enjoying the rays when we are done! I took this picture tonight after we finished our dinner. It was after 9:00 and though the sun was settling deep in the horizon there was still enough light to give the sky a nice glow.
