Harbour City Optometry ( Costco), Nanaimo

We all need our eyes tested from time to time and more often as we become the “Arctic Blonde” group. Don and Kelly were pushing me to get my eyes tested and Don insisted it be at Costco.

Well,  people don’t wait….make that appointment. they have the very best staff and Gurinder Jassal did the testing on me and, after actually listening to what I was saying, found the problem exactly.

I was so thankful for his care and concern because no one has really ever figured it out before.

We came out and tried looking for new frames….hahaha! I think we drove Julie crazy trying on almost every pair they had…sort of! I kept saying “this one” and Don kept saying no. I asked him why because I liked one pair more than the others. His reply “because I have to look at you”.

We found a pair, sat down with Julie while she worked to get everything exactly right.  I was very impressed. She did not make me feel like I was just another sale. Job well done and thank you one and all.

So……go to Costco for your eye testing and know you are in the very best place for the very best care.

Driftwood Chinese Buffet, Nanaimo

Last week when we were going to the movies, we decided to try this new restaurant. Only a few months old by the way. We found the food to be really good and fresh so yesterday, we all went for the Lunch Buffet.

The restaurant is very large and it was full. The food is not deep fried food that the other Chinese restaurants seem to prefer, but it is all fresh and darn tasty. We arrived about halfway through the time (11:30 a.m. to @2 p.m). and the bowls were almost all empty.

We have found that this restaurant is the very best for Chinese Food in Nanaimo and trust me, we have tried them all. The seafood is cooked to perfection, just to mention one of their best assets.

Our best advice….go early and dine on all they have to offer. I promise you will return again and again. They also have a Dinner Buffet, if that is what you prefer.

The restaurant is next door to Montana’s
