The most wonderful time for a beer......

He's such a poser! (I did ask him nicely, though)

 

Random, my rainy distorted view of things, can't remember where I took this, pic.

This little guy, who we call "Tubby", hangs around our balcony all day long and chases off any other hummingbirds trying to get at "his" feeder.

The "my last view of Burrard Inlet" pic and my last wait for Dr. Reznick before the Good Doctor season 5 went on Christmas hiatus.

We lit up an alley (and that condo) by the studio in Burnaby for one scene with Dr. Park and Dr. Reznick.

Ahhhhh, the Christmas addition of my cappuccino showing the love from the ladies of the Charlie Bar coffee truck.

One more day on Main Street in the rain at the Bridge Studios. Let the hiatus and holidays begin!

One this day I went with Mary, one of the production assistants for the show to an elementary school to gather up goodie bags that the children had put together from donations from the cast, crew, and parents......

.......and then I drove "Saint Mary" to the Downtown Eastside Women's Centre to drop off all of the much needed gifts.

Turned on the Canucks game the other night and lo and behold there were the kids down at ice level watching the action.

Ha! Their picture time. I spent more time watching for them then watching the game, lol.

Okay, this was the last shot of Burrard Inlet before the hiatus...

On the last day of filming we were up in Burnaby heights again at the Dr. Andrews house. I was ready to swoop in. We only finished half of episode 511, but will resume filming on January 5th.

now, I have lots of time off to see gorgeous sunrises over Mt. Baker....

We went out for pizza, and somehow the conversation got around to Star Trek. I had no idea Ritsue was so talented!

Lots of activities for the young at heart at Me-N-Ed's...

Wow, over a week ago already, the who can get the best pic of the Charlie Brown Christmas tree, pic.

Rachel Bay Jones, who plays Salen, (yes, I know a lot of people do not like her character on the show) mentioned that she had never owned a toque. The cast drivers all chipped in and got her one, nice!

Wow, this scene in 511 involved the top 9 Good Doctor cast members. (Wish I could tell you what the scene was about, but I can't, lol.)

Was this a shot at Santa, aka "Dad"?

Disaster at Me-N-Ed's! That flipped over piece of pizza makes me think of some of the days we have all experienced during these covid times. Hope everyone had a great Christmas and a wonderful holiday season! Stay safe.

O Sonny Boy........bent key addition......

Proud pops here, a great shot of Sonny Boy manning the camera crane on the set of Nancy Drew.

 

Got a call from Sonny Boy on a Saturday morning to go and try and get his car started out at White Pine beach in Port Moody, where he was filming the night before. The bent key? Better call a locksmith, lol.  (Which he did, although we straightened the key out and he managed to get it back to his place.)

Wow, I took a t.v. screen shot of the fall finale of The Good Doctor. That was episode 507, we will  finish filming episode 510 and starting episode 511 next week!

The random, walking downtown Vancouver, flower shot.......

I was walking with junior. A quick stop at Fanny Bay Oyster Bar on Cambie.......

.....I am so dumb, took a big gulp of that horseradish, thinking it was cheese......

.....on the way, we came across this mouse that was not afraid of us.....

.....one quick beer at the Devil's Elbow. I can see our destination through the window.....

....robo-winger.....

We had pretty good seats and overall it was a pretty good game. (Although the Canucks ended up losing 1-0 to the Chicago Blackhawks)

Marc Andre Fleury deserved this rest, he stopped 40 shots.

The Good Doctor took the week off for U.S. Thanksgiving. We decided to get on board......

......the ferry to Victoria. A toast to the hiatus!

The parliament buildings were showing the festive spirit.....

A very nice view from our Airbnb condo building roof-top deck.

The weather was mostly rainy, but we did have this one glorious Friday to explore.

Let the adventure begin.....

Chinatown was very cool. Some of it I had never explored before. Ritsue's turn.....

.....and then mine, always a couple of posers.....

.....lots of cool architecture....

Johnson Street.

They were setting up decorations for Christmas in the courtyard of Chinatown, but Ritsue could not wait for Christmas!

Beautiful views off of Dallas Road.

I could not keep up with Ritsue the explorer at the Oak Bay Marina.

...Oak Bay.......

.......and one last stop at Dallas Road before......

...we attended the Christmas market at Crystal Garden....

......when by a totem, act like a totem......

....an evening stroll around the Parliament Building grounds...

......the fountain shot......

.....one last look, that's enough for this day......

On the Saturday, hey, who's that coming up the escalator?

....there was an orca exhibit at the Royal B.C. museum.

......we had a whale of a time.....groan......

.....that is both beautiful and sad........

....it was a mammoth day, hyuk.....

......one last look......

Oh ya, back to the couple on the escalator. We spent the day and then went to my sister Judith and her husband Les's home for dinner. She brought out pictures I have not seen in many years, like this mini family reunion in Summerland, circa 1997ish? Judith and Les are on the right, I'm in there somewhere, lol.

Another blast from the past, at my brother Don's wedding back in the early 80's, wow, the hair!

It was all over way too soon, back on the ferry to mainland and reality?

.......homeward bound.......

Hmnnn.... what's wrong with this picture?

A foggy, cold day to restart episode 509 of the Good Doctor. Hanging out at base camp, aka "the circus".

We spent part of one day filming in Burnaby Heights.....

.....my view of the action at one of the surgeon's houses. (can't give away who it belongs to...., stay tuned)

Tried sneaking up on the director's Mercedes, but was busted by the many cameras on board.

Doing my duty, picking up the Good Doctor's lab coats at the dry cleaners. I wonder if they would notice if one went missing?

Junior and I know this one all too well........

The dinner at my sister's pic.

Ritsue's handmade slippers! Get yours now, super comfy!

I must say his performance in episode 507 even brought a tear to my eye. Wow! Can't wait for the Good Doctor's return in January!
