I’m not sure how many times I’ve been to Sidney, BC. Let’s say several. But this time was different. It was just as wonderful – perhaps more – than previous visits with my BFAPCAF (best friend a person could ask for!). Not just because of our Gracefully and Frankly Facebook Live.

I had a hard time telling people to pay to see something I had seen for free. Unless I was completely blown away by it. And few things blew me away.
