Girls lunch out!

Just had a "girls" lunch out! There were 6 of us; and we went to The Sand Bar in Granville Island. Wonderful food; not to mention the view! For those that were brave enough to sit outside, and admire the ever moving water traffic and busy harbour, there were heaters. I had pan fried oysters (soooooooo good!)and a small Caesar salad and a glass of red wine. For dessert, I enjoyed the trio of sorbet,(raspberry, kiwi, mango, with a tidbit of pear sorbet thrown in) along with 2 lemon meringue biscuits! mmmmmmm yum! Three of the ladies twirled noodle salads; one kept digesting over and over again a green veggie salad with hard boiled eggs; (there are the eggs again!- I know that salad was a healthy meal; and yet, it looked totally bland to me! LOL!)and the other lady splurged for crab cakes. We all enjoyed a glass of wine; save for one, who sipped on a vodka tonic. (could not handle that personally; although, it does sound like a refreshing drink).

In all, an excellent outing! After that, we walked around the market; where everything is sooooooooo fresh and good! A treat, indeed! Ended up buying a small but bright bouquet of beautiful spring flowers, and a couple of exotic spices. Must do that again; have not been to the Island for a few years!

Tidbit - Live! Make the most of the day and appreciate all the blessings! And flowers do add a nice touch!
