    Phew, I have just caught up with your last posts, how did you fit all those trips in?

    Do your feet ever touch the ground?

    Whoever took the photos, my compliments.

    Friko -- The trips have been done over the last few years, certainly not all at once.
    For a while I felt that my feet never touched the ground, because I live in eastern Alberta and my parents were in care in western BC. I was back and forth every six weeks, for a week at a time, for three years, and fitted Dick's adventure travels in between. More than somewhat exhausting, I must admit.

    Great photos Kay. I haven't posted the critters yet because it doesn't seem to be up and running. Boom & Gary of the Vermilon.
