Breakfast with Elena was lots of fun. We reminisced, Elena loves Laguna Beach, and kept her up-to-date on friends, neighbors and Laguna Beach. We learned about her apartment complex where she has made friends with the other tenants. She has adapted to big city life and loves being around her son and family especially her […]

The drive was smoky and we basically saw wheat field after wheat field; silos, big and small; […]
Originally we had planned to go into the Banff/Lake Louise area for maybe a couple of weeks but the fires and smoke added Alberta to our do-over list. So today we were going east until I tried to start the van and the battery was dead. The van has a safety feature that doesn’t jive […]
