So much has happened

since I last posted, it seems its just easier to post on facebook. First, my sister Cindy died after her 6 year battle with melanoma in July of this year. Isn't she beautiful?

I had a nice vacation in Colorado with my buds and their hubby's. Pics are here.

I have a wonderful SO who was a big support in my sisters last weeks.

And I am going on another trip to New Mexico in a couple of weeks. The spots are all doing great! TTYL!!

So Blaine is here for a month

My adorable great nephew Blaine is here for a month while his dad is in training in San Diego.

Blaine is all growed up now! He has reached the age of 4 when he knows about everything. Here are a couple of pics.

Thellie has megaesophagus

She has to eat all her meals blended like a shake and she has to eat sitting up or she regurgitates everything. Here is a site on canine megaesophagus. And here she is in her Bailey chair made by my friend Jack White and decorated by me.

Lake Evelyn and more

On Friday we drove more than 100 miles to do the Lake Evelyn hike! This is a hike none of us had done before and was only a 4 mile hike. It was an adventure getting to the trailhead, the road was horrendous. The hike was very nice and the lake was quite charming. The rest of the pics of the hike are here. (After the Bowen Lake hike pics) A video of Ola and Buckwheat can be found here.

Foxy and Bowen Lake hike

I lost my internet connection so had to wait until we got home to finish up the Colorado blog.I divided the pics onto 2 galleries. This is the beginning of the second gallery. The first few pics are of Foxy, the fox who hangs at Ola's house. The rest are pics of Bowen Lake and Lake Evelyn. On Th.we hiked to Bowen Lake. It is a beautiful lake pretty high up, lots of snow and part of the hike was above tree line. This was a 7 mile round trip hike with gorgeous views on the way up. You can see the rest of the pics here

Another Moose Day!

Ola, Buckwheat and I (GiGi) took a no hike day. We kayaked this morning and had a bit of adventure when another kayaker had his kayak overturn. We were paddling to try to assist him, (don't know what we would have done)but then a motor boat came and fished him out of the lake and put his kayak on the boat. We decided to kayak into the channel and saw 2 moose at Point Park, right next to the channel. On the way back to the cabin we stopped and I got a couple of pretty good pics of the moose, nmaed Inspector Mooseau and Inspector Gadget. I think Buckwheat will have some better ones, but she forgot her card reader. We had a nice lunch at the golf course and then did some shopping. Tonight is "All Shook Up" at the theatre. The rest of my pics are here.
