| As the Sutton hotel has so eloquently stated, season's greetings to one and all! |
 |
| The operating room on the Good Doctor is silent, as the show takes a Christmas hiatus.( (The 11th episode of season 1 will air on ABC (CTV in Canada) on January 8th at 10 p.m.)) |
 |
The last cast car wash of 2017
|
 |
| Leaving squeaky clean, heading downtown to the Sutton hotel for one last time this year. |
 |
| So festive at the Sutton, finally starting to feel it........ |
 |
| That's the holiday spirit. Fellow Teamster Dallas pumping some air into a low tire of one of the cast's cars. |
 |
| A couple of more trips downtown before the break. |
 |
| On this day were to take over China Creek Park in the Mount Pleasant area of East Vancouver. |
 |
| and we did....... |
 |
| what a colourful neighbourhood |
 |
| A lot of trust fellow Teamster Bob was going to stop this massive wardrobe truck before it got any closer to me. |
 |
| We finished this day at Vancouver Community College, where we have filmed many times before. |
 |
| Waiting for cast down on Cordova, just east of Gastown. |
 |
| I spent this day driving the director and writer around on a tech survey for the locations we will be using in the next episode. (everyone else rode on the busses) |
 |
| In the Christmas spirit, the red light outside the studio. (warns people not to enter while filming is in progress) |
 |
| got home just in time to watch this spectacle on Stephen Colbert. |
 |
| Hope the breath mints were working for him and Tom Hanks. |
 |
| Quite a spread put out at our transport coordinator, Andrew. He threw a little Christmas party for all of the drivers on his crew. |
 |
| Me and Andrew, aka Saint Nick. |
 |
| This had all the makings of a white Christmas, but the white stuff did not stick around. |
 |
t
There was plenty up in the mountains, though
|
 |
| A little Charlie Brown-ish, but I think I had a pretty nice little Christmas tree this year! |
 |
| All these treats for Christmas! All that Japanese packaging can only mean one thing..... |
 |
| .......Ritsue has come from Hiroshima to celebrate Christmas with me and my family. (Showing off our beer and tuna towers at the River's Reach pub in New Westminster!) |
 |
| We went to the Christmas Fly Over Canada at Canada Place. |
 |
| Photo op with Santa! |
 |
| It was hovering around freezing, but it was a nice afternoon downtown |
 |
| A nice shot of "the Lions" peaks on the North Shore. |
 |
After Fly Over Canada, we were the biggest kids on the carousel at the Vancouver Christmas Market,
|
 |
| It was a wonderful evening. |
 |
| The Lights of Hope at St. Paul's hospital. |
 |
| Haha, cute turkey hat pic! |
 |
| The next night we went with my kids to the Vancouver Canuck's game. Ritsue had never been to an N.H.L. game. St. Louis won tonight, but we still had a ton of fun. |
 |
| Christmas eve day, and it was time to get the turkey in the oven. |
 |
| Another first for Ritsue, but she nailed it! It was delicious! |
 |
| A wonderful Christmas dinner! |
 |
| Followed by another marvelous turkey dinner with my brother and his family on Christmas day. Many thanks to my sister-in-law Carmen for hosting all of us! |
 |
| Daisy has a new international friend. |
 |
| Junior and my nieces |
 |
| Go back 3 days, I forgot Santa photo-bombed us at Fly Over Canada, what nerve! |
 |
| I did do pretty good with the pumpkin pie, if I do say so myself. (and I do!) |
 |
| hammin' it up on turkey day..... |
 |
| and just like that, 6 days were gone....... time for Ritsue to head back to Hiroshima, 😢 |
 |
| fun! |
 |
| What's the real story? |
 |
| and it doesn't matter how old they are, lol |
 |
| I found this amusing because X-Files is back filming in Vancouver |
 |
| Someone point them to the playground across the street already! |
 |
| One way to keep them quiet, not recommending it though |
 |
| a new way to enjoy a game I grew up with...... |
 |
| That's a legitimate dilemma |
 |
| hardly noticeable |
 |
| very noticeable |
 |
| something wrong with that cat |
 |
| don't know until you try |
 |
| not a stand up toilet, I think |
 |
| that sign probably saved more than one marriage, hahaha |
