We had a visitor the other day. Animal Control wouldn't take him, and King County wouldn't either as long as he wasn't on the ground. So I named him Charlie. He hissed at me.

Once I came back from Canada, he dissapeared. Which I'm okay with as I'm allergic to rabies.

"Ah, good morning Jenn...I hope for a restful and slow day today and--"
::YOU HAVE A VERY IMPORTANT APPOINTMENT YOU FORGOT ABOUT::

And finally, the one thing I wanted to pick up on the way home, which is why I left Canada earlier than normal. Tin Roof Ice Cream from Edaleen Dairy, my favorite ice cream. :9

With the sheer amount of snacks and chips and candies and my food restrictions, I'm going to be set for snacks for a LONG LONG LONG time.

The Canadian snack haul. Tag yourself, I'm Indomie Ramen Spicy Pack.

I've not been able to find the maple candies I really like twice now. I hope they still make them.

While I was in Canada, the Texas Czech Fairy visited the house!

A wonderful birthday gift from Crystal and Lissa. A lovely red bowl to replace my grandmothers old red (radioactive!) fiestaware that shattered during the move from Texas to Seattle. Love it, as my IKEA mixing bowls are...not the best.

HELLO THERE I AM WATCHING YOU DO THINGS

I love me some Davie Villiage. Even the back alleys are painted and proud.

After the last few weeks, I needed this.

Wouldn't it be nice if Duvall got one of these? ::Hint hint::

Canadians know how to snack.

Where I am now.

Proper poutine. And a Montreal Smoked Meat Sandwich too boot.

Where I am now.

At one point, we saw a road that said "No Tresspassing, but also saw another sign beyond. I was itchy about going through reservation land, but continued on where I saw a sign saying "Cemetery -> " So we went...and drove and drove and drove. and we found a cemetery and a Tribal Security truck.

I'm not exactly sure if me being as brown as I am didn't set off any alarms (the security guard just waved when I did), but we were allowed n (he actually drove off as we went in). The Cemetery is BEAUTIFUL just near the river, on a hill overlooking the whole cemetery and river. I took no pictures out of respect, but it was the highlight of the trip.

I've now satiated my curiosity on the Old Yale Road. What shall we do next......

Old Yale Road, Part 2. I didn't expect to make it all the way to Yale today, but we did it! What surprised me was how much the road changed. There are places where it's a super highway, places where it's a small county road, places where the road is main street and places where its a tiny forest road.

There wasn't much in the way of buildings, honestly, and even the town of Yale, massively full of history, is tiny and slowly dissapearing. Thankfully, the historical stuff is protected.

Something we DID do...there were several parts that crossed native reservations, which are all dotted around here. While I'm totally about ignoring signs that say no tresspassing or private road, I try very VERY hard not to trespass on reservations.

It wasn't my first or even second choice for a birthday dinner, but it was the RIGHT choice. Gochujang Chicken Burger for the freaking win.

World's Cutest School Bus Stop.

The Hope Slide.

@Aminorjourney - What was Queenie doing up in BC? :)
