River City Coffee–my favourite coffee shop in the whole world. (Especially since I found out they’re licensed now!) I stopped there at about 11:00 on Christmas Eve morning and asked if it was too early for Bailey’s in my coffee. “It’s never too early!” was the reply. It turned out, I needed that fortified coffee to get me through the rest of the day, which included a couple of hours at the Emergency Department waiting for my mother-in-law (infected toe) and sister-in-law (whiplash from a nasty tackle in a recent hockey game.)

Penny was not amused when she realized she couldn’t come out for dinner with us! I felt very guilty leaving her alone on Christmas evening, but I did manage to slip a little left over turkey into my purse so she got a treat after we got back home.

Arriving at The Old Court House Inn in Powell River. I think I want to move in there! Do you think the inn keepers would notice a permanent guest lurking in the hallways?
