trying again

I do have some problems posting, but am trying again-it doesn't say it's not working, so suppose it is. Have been depending on Lisa to keep everyone posted on what's new here as well as events on our trip. I really enjoyed The Rock - even the cold and wind, which were pretty bad, were pretty bad, were overcome with the friendliness of the people and the truly great scenery.
also having good travelling companions helps too! I think the only thing Lisa missed reporting on were the icebergs - those and the birds made up for no whales!
The trip home was long and boring - it was icy in NFLD, hot in Tor. (layover) , bitter cold in Cal
bitter cold in Cal and lovely in Kelowna. Am really glad I went - it was
just so different from the rest of the country, it's hard to describe -
if Allison would post the pictures it would help.

anyway back to what passes for normal here - lots to do outside - every
thing is growing and blooming and requires lots of attention. And am
finally getting over jetlag.
Theresa, Kay Macd. called last night and said that Doris had a liver disease
and the last she'd heard was waiting for a transplant, in Van, I think,
but she had lost Pauline's name and address and hasn't heard what happened
It sounded like this might have been some time ago - she also got your
phone#, thinking that Debby may call you, as she said she'd like to - no
email address for her (no computer). I'm thinking of you and Jude sitting
on a rock, drinking screech and the only thing I can say is if you did it
there, you'd have pneumonia, arthritis and a foul taste in your mouth -
didn't try screech, but it's rumored to be foul.
Sounds like everything is falling into place for houseboating - when Jude and
al are here in a week, we can cover some "todo" items. The kareoke (?)
prizes are ready and Jim said he was going to arrange for the machine this week - it means he
it means he's cming here before the 2nd, so there will be 2 vehicles from
here - Laura is flying in on the 1st and have been wondering about Will-
are you coming here by air or what? By the way thanks for the nice letter,
I came home to mail - 3 letters from 3 grandkids - thank you all.
It's going to be 32 today, so must go and move the A/C into the lr and also
move the hose - it's really dry here aND WE ARE ON WATER RATIONING ALREADY.

See you all soon - some sooner that others - love to all mom/gma
