She is here weighing in at 6lbs 6oz and around 20". All is well and as you see Grandma and sister Meira are pretty excited!

Feeding the deer at Buffalo Point

My Mom has had a cabin at Buffalo Point on Lake of the Woods for 28 years. We were able to spend a few days there this summer when the saskatoon berries were ripe. My Mom and I went to pick and the deer decided it was a good idea to join us.

Home again, Home again!

Stayed at Salem Oregon last night and after breakfast this morning we will do that last leg of our journey. We were welcomed by rain sometime yesterday afternoon with a little hail mixed in.

We hope to be in Abbotsford this afternoon. What a trip it has been!

We drove out of Mexico this evening !!!!

Yesterday mid morning we left our friends Don, Diane, Bill and Marj (Diane's parents) at the fantasitc Inn at Loreto Bay, on the Baja, where we were pampered enough to almost forget the ferry ride from Mazatlan to La Paz. We got to Guirdo Niegro by late afternoon and early this morning continued our travels north toward Tijiuana. Driving Baja California takes you through spectacular terrain and along both the Gulf of California and the Pacific ocean. Don and I encourage you to drive it some time.

Around 7:00 pm we were over the border and gladly driving into San Diego. We are in Carlsbad, Cal. tonight, a place we have stayed before on none of Heather's spring break get aways. It is home to Legoland and hugs the Pacific coast. Tomorrow will be another day of travel and closer to home!

Some pictures of our travels.

We made it to Loreto Bay ....didn't drown on the ferry

We'll post pictures later today as we are off to tour the Inn At Loreto Bay development with our friends Don and Diane Delves.

Happy Birthday to Heather....we miss celebrating with you today!!!

Don's Birthday is today!

Since it's Don's birthday today I thought I'd have pictures of some moments he experienced here and yes, he even did dishes on this special day. Tonight we are sharing supper with friends from the apartment building and watching the sun set one more time from their 7th floor and then going to a fundraising jass night at the girls orphanage.

Tomorrow we pack up and load onto the Baja ferry for La Paz, hoping to arrive there on Friday morning. We'll let you know how it went.
