I think she likes Yukon! I have the week off and we will find lots of time to do nothing and then rest afterwards. I expect we will also don winter apparel and wander about ... http://www.l2o2.com/2008/02/06/midwinter-visit/ We enjoyed a lovely time with Chris and Geneva this Christmas. Not only did Lawrie get to meet Chris's love of his life, but we got to know her as well. Chris proposed to Geneva on Christmas eve, and we helped set the stage by lighting about 30 candles on ... http://www.l2o2.com/2008/01/03/christmas-new-year-and-beyond/ We have so very much to be thankful for. One day a year to 'celebrate' seems all wrong when on a daily basis there are many things to be grateful for. Good friends, family, jobs that pay great wages, health, home, food, water and an absence of strife, fear, and ... http://www.l2o2.com/2007/10/08/thanks/ Late September Lawrie and I, along with our friends Chris and Sarah, went canoeing on the McQueston River in the Mayo area of Yukon. Ostensibly we were moose hunting, but come home with a moose we did not. I thought I would get that out of the way straight off! ... http://www.l2o2.com/2007/09/27/mcqueston-moose/ It seems these five weeks are blasting past. We have plugged a lot of activities into the time, along with working (albeit 4 days a week) and gardening. I think Lawrie actually did most of the garden work though. Now we focus on just seeing Whitehorse, and that was fun. ... http://www.l2o2.com/2007/08/13/out-and-about-whitehorse/ So week number 4 and there are too many options of what we could do this weekend. In the end we decide to sleep in our own beds, do a day trip to see Skagway and then whatever after. Bright and early, maybe about 10 am, we are on the road ... http://www.l2o2.com/2007/08/06/skagway-scenery-and-sand/ After another four days of work, or did we only work for three and take an extra day off? Whatever. We pack up the night before and take off along the Alaska Highway going north or north-west or maybe even more west. Whatever the direction, we are going to Haines ... http://www.l2o2.com/2007/07/30/hiking-to-samuel-glacier-and-other-adventures/ After working four days, we dashed up the North Klondike Highway to Dawson City (where Lawrie & I, Jon and Chris lived from 1990 to 1994). This trip will likely be my last to this community and I was happy to be seeing it again. This is the Dawson City ... http://www.l2o2.com/2007/07/22/dawson-days/ My dear sister Ruth has come and gone, and is missed sorely. But she was here for five weeks and we had a blast. I'm thinking I'll do a post for each week she was visiting and this will be week one. Sunday, July 8th, Ruth arrived from Vancouver early afternoon ... http://www.l2o2.com/2007/07/15/better-late/
