Visits from Friends


In all the homes we have stayed in, we have often had friends visit. With permission from the homeowner, sometimes they stay overnight. One thing that is great about giving FREE service is that we have made so many friends along the way from our owners.

When our friend came to Comox yesterday it was fun to take her to a new beach near the house. The wind was whipping the waves into whitecaps and the walk was bracing, but fun. Coming back we walked along the calm side of the spit, looking at the lagoon that surrounds this town.

Later on we rambled on the huge boardwalk that stretches out into the ocean above the marina and ended up having coffee in a snug little coffee bar.

The most fun part of the day, though, was showing her some of the houses that were for sale. I am always in touch with the real estate market, since we want to relocate, so I know where the good houses are. It is fun to share this information.

Just lining up a March housesit in White Rock, the resort town right near Vancouver. The lady sent me a picture of her home and it looks just beautiful. It will be good to reconnect with old friends around Vancouver.

Today I am looking at the clouds drifting past the glaciers and am so thankful that we started this journey.
