FOURTEEN SLEEPS LEFT IN CANADA


That's right
Fourteen sleeps in our cozy  flannel covered bed before heading to the
 US of A
to the warmth of the 
Arizona sun

Graham and his Dad went up the mountain to retrieve his trail camera


They walked 75 to 100 feet into the woods


Picking up the camera


They stopped by Rapnik Lake
Lots of tracks
Elk
Deer
Moose




Also a huge hornet's nest!

Iris......Jennifer's cat downstairs at the shack
Little photo of Joe and I taken Christmas 1963
Just became engaged!


Jen spent the week with us at the shack
We left her each night and slept up at the big house
She had 4 cats and 2 dogs to keep her company
Ha.....Gwendolyn came with us!


Iris seemed to be everywhere
Jen didn't think she ever slept



On the trail going up to Munson Mountain
This was a first for us .........


Beautiful pine tree
Whenever I look up it reminds me of a children's morning show
that our children watched
The giant would say......
Look up Look up
Lyndsay remembers..........
It was called 
The Friendly Giant


View from Munson Mountain looking over to the city of Penticton


Looking up the lake towards Graham and Lyndsay's home 


Interesting about sunsets
At the cottage between spring and fall we see the different spots where the sun sets 


Saturday morning Papa Graham Ethan Garen and Granny went out to the SACA
The owl rehabilitation centre
Here we have burrowing owls






On the drive home Graham spotted Rocky Mountain Big Horns 
Up the mountain road we went


Beau would have driven by the lake each day on his way to Osoyoos for hockey practice


A herd on the side of the mountain



A stop at Tickleberry's for ice cream


Strawberry and Mint Chocolate


This morning's view of the vineyard

In a few weeks we will be seeing this view

************
Just two photos of interest
(I think)

I sent a parcel to Beau in New Jersey
The lady at the post office had a fine time 'decorating' the parcel with 
CANADIAN HOCKEY STAMPS

When I got out my down jacket I found this attached
Beau's hockey pin from 'way back when'
Beau said it had to have been at least 11 years ago that he received the pin
The pin will stay right where I put it!
