Kate, my mother’s name was Emily Ann Carr. She and my dad made a pilgrimage of sorts to Vancouver from Nashville to see the land of Emily Carr. Reading this was a nice remembrance of her. Beautiful writing.

I forwarded your post to my oldest and dearest friend who lives in Vancouver, and who has often described trips to Victoria that include Munroe's and Murchie's. She sent me a photo, and I am looking for a way to upload it for you. It's a coastline view from Victoria that, as she said, must include Port Angeles!

I’d love to see it but I don’t think that’s possible on this platform, Anne.

Andrew is a master of catching moments. I try to catch them in words and flavors.
