Our three week trip to BC, Alberta and Saskatchewan was just wonderful.  I wish I would have remembered to take more pictures of all the people we saw...too busy talking most of the time!  Anyway, wow!  it was so good to see everyone, spend time with family, etc.  Although it is good to be back at our little haven for a couple more months, I love the memories we have to cherish from this wonderful trip!

Connection with more friends/family...


My aunt and 2 of my cousins!!  Such fun!

Kay, one of our first RA's at BFA.
Camera does not capture the REAL beauty!


Cheryl, above, moved away from the area where I grew up when she was 7. I had not seen her since. We connected when her husband came n a work team and through face book! What a grand reunion!

Driving through BC on our way back to Seattle...Lake Louise and Banff and scenes along the way...















A selfie is hard to do with a big camera!!

Time with family and friends...


Two grandpas to play with.  How about that??







Pretty serious about playing!



Memories...

This is the farm where I grew up (large grouping of trees in front of the water).  Much of the land is under water from the the snow melting in spring.


This rig took up the whole road.  Glad there was a place for us to pull over.

My grandparents immigrated from Germany to Canada in 1911. Here are a few shots from their farm.
