... bear and her wee cub - honestly but it was impossible to get a photo.the train seemed to stop in the middle of nowhere to pick up or drop off passengers - I meant to check if these were request stop. I cannot describe either in words or with my photos just how magnificent the Rockies are - really awe inspiring - gush gush.The weather was again excellent so we were lucky to see Mt Robson, which is the highest peak in the Canadian Rockies, as apparently it is cloud ...

... I thought maybe I'd even make aliya (i.e., emigrate to Israel, literally "go up")--but that was out of the question by the time my year was up. It wasn't the kind of place I wanted to live in or the kind of people I wanted to live among--too rough-and-tumble. I had a great time, though: I made friends from Israel and all over the world. I walked to the 3,000-year-old walled Old City each week for a class on its ...

... surgical implants three crowns 1 or 2 veneers one filling (not bad for 6 years running!) $14,000 Costa Rica Cost: you wouldn't believe me if I told you... so how about this. ALL for less than ONE implant and ONE crown, here in the states. and it's US made pharmaceutical lab products. Can you say Dental Oligopoly? Or is it just the malpractice insurers helping set the domestic rates? With this kind of cost savings, who needs to plan?

... quite easily. We took showers and did 2 loads of laundry! Yeah. Then Alison drove us around the neighborhood - Magnolia Village for dinner at a Thai restaurant. Red, Green and Pineapple Curry. Yum! Then drove on to Discovery Park, an old military fort, to walk off the dinner. We took a trail down to the lighthouse. Had cake and ice cream on the balcony and looked at our pictures on the computer. Thanks ...

... good sized area for the dogs. Met an interesting couple who had three Borzoi's(Russian Wolfhounds) hounds with them. (they had just come from a local dog show) So we had their three in on exercise area and I had Shae and Brigitte in the other. Most entertaining to watch the interaction. Rains came back again in the late afternoon and we decided that a pizza would be good as I did not feel much like cooking nor did Patsy. Very quite ...

... to keep the positive oxygenation of his blood they will need to put him back on some kind of breathing help. Everyone is keeping their fingers crossed. If his progress over the last few days is any indication, then he should do well. He is also off his sedatives which were necessary while his body was working so hard to stabilize. The hope is that he will not have to use them again. Imagine the elation for Sheryl and Alex to gaze upon baby Kai with no masks, respirators ...

... orally and continue swallowing everyday, but likely he will be less enthusiastic in eating enough to maintain his weight and nutrition because of the pain. As y'all know he doesn't have much weight to spare, so he agreed to have a PEG tube placed this coming Thursday. Since the procedure is done through the throat, it is not recommended to wait until he needs it-there will be too much swelling and it will be much more painful and stressful to undergo ...

Mid West & The Rockies Day: 21 Location: Seattle Milometer: 4196 Q. What's the biggest private employer in the US? - - - (scroll down for answer) - - - - - - A. Wal Mart And I could see why after visiting one in Omaha, Nebraska - a 500 mile day's drive west from Chicago. The biggest store/building I've ever seen? ...maybe the Boeing factory is bigger. We were stopping over with Shelby, home from London for a week, and a night out in Omaha. With a historic cobbled market ...

... rope-line marked #2, licking our ice cream, waiting for our Duck to arrive. Scott had driven Brett and Jake from the south end, about 30 miles away; I'd picked up Matt and Andrew, who live near me, and we'd come 10 miles from the north. Our get-together is an annual event; I call it G-Mom's Special Adventure & Fabulous Outing Day. Once we spent the night at the zoo, flashlights for midnight lion-hunting required. Last year ...
