British Columbia Girls Trip

-


My friends Dawn, Jill and Mary take an annual family "girls trip" and this year landed in Victoria, British Columbia where they visited among many sites, the Buchart Gardens.  These gardens have to be one of the prettiest garden spots  in the world.  And the lady bug is adorable!

Acres of gorgeous foliage, plants, waterfalls, blossoms, greenhouses and more at the gardens.



 The girls Jill, Dawn and mom Mary

I can only dream of having such beautiful flowers year round in my yard!  Learn how to make these at the end of this post.



The suspension bridge is the most fun destination outside Vancouver...it's absolutely crazy terrifying!  Do you see the view (above left) from the bridge? 


The Stone Soup Inn, Vancouver Island is a popular destination also.


Thank you Dawn for sending the photos my way!


See how to make one of the Buchart Gardens'  hanging baskets here.

Anjelica Huston is a beautiful woman who has a  simple yet  colorful, expressive ranch house  in Three Rivers, CA .  I'm featuring it because it's very near my home town.   She's one of my favorite actresses with so many credits to her name.  Most are not familiar with  "Family Pictures",  a two-part TV adaptation of the Sue Miller novel of the same name. Anjelica and Sam Neill are a 1950s married couple with six children, one of whom, Randall, is autistic . The parents' initial decision not to institutionalize the boy results in a terrific strain on the rest of the family.                         She also played an Italian in "Prizzi's Honor" directed by her father.     Vogue Italia  recognized Angelica's 60th birthday recently by displaying many of the above photos.  She is pictured with Jack Nicholson, her longtime friend.  At her ranch house at left.   A look at her Ranch House. ..continue...
