Back at our beloved beach

Back at Victoria Beach in Manitoba in our rustic 1920's cabin, which we love!

Enjoying the local northern Alberta tradition of the Fish Fry - yummy local pickerel with the VB world famous Beer Batter!

On our unlit sand streets, back to nature!

Playing games at our inside table as it's still cool outside!

PJ still loves her tug tug game

And our beach - ahhhh

One happy puppy up to her waterline :)

Note the smile!

And early stages of my flower and vegetable gardens

Life is good!

Early June

Life is never boring :)

Back to Cranbrook for a little work, as we do some maintenance and repairs

and find the perfect tenant for one of our rentals

And for Vic to undergo his long awaited knee surgery!

Recuperating at Dave and Jo's place, again :)

Calgary to catch up, growing grandbaby and the nursery is almost ready!

P.J. making sure we don't go far without her

Crashing with Dad for a few weeks while he (and we) get ready to head to Victoria Beach for the summer!

Surprise and awesome encounters and catch ups with long lost friends

Jackie and her daughter Kayla and their baby!

I hadn't seen Jackie in likely 15 years and accidentally bumped into her at the Sobey's in Airdrie.

Jackie and I and our girls were best of friends before the girls started kindergarten :)

Vic, Dad and I as we head east to the cottage!

in Moosomin, then Indian Head at our favourite Good Sam Park

And summer begins

Catch up time

Back to Canada, the amazing Rockies,

and our incredible family!

The kids are well, 

Vic's Dad his usual fun and expressive self

Grandbaby number 1 growing well in Mommy's tummy!!!

Vic and I a little weightier for the way, but happy to be back with our family!

Sam and Katie doing great!

Sara and Jean, proud, expecting parents!

The baby's room is well under way!

My wonderful girls who make me happy!!

And of course our beautiful Canadian puppy - P.J.,

as always, ready to roll!

And to Vernon to visit my Mom

and Dad again, possibly for the last time in their Vernon condo!

Where to next!?

Next stop - Seattle, Washington to visit our son and his girlfriend

Seattle Airport

our adorable Daniel and his wonderful girlfriend, Jules

in the lush springtime of Seattle

We got to visit Daniel at work

We joined the "games gang" for a great Chinese food supper, and Vic jokingly said to some fellow diners, "this is what happens when you join two really smart families" - ha!

Jules and Daniel :)

When Dan went back to work, Vic and I headed off on the local transport to tour a little more of the city.

Gorgeous harbourfront on the way from Bellevue to downtown Seattle

Excellent bus and tram system here as well

A wonderful visit with our boy and his new "home" town.
