Prayer Request

Please pray for our good friend Al Kloos and his wife Irene. He is a person who was always there to help someone else, loved the outdoor's, led groups hiking and now he is fighting cancer in his lung, bladder, shoulder and back. He is going in tomorrow to see what kind of cancer it is and what to do for him. They are thinking maybe treatment just to help with the pain.

Happy New Year's

We had a nice Christmas but missed you all. We loved all the picture's so made us feel like we were there. We had a wonderful dinner at our club house with seventy some people. We took as our guest Aunt Doris, and cousin Earl and Marly's. Then had them come to our home for the afternoon. We were invited to friends in the evening.
We are enjoying our winter even if it is cooler then usual. This afternoon we went and played tennis which is only the third time this winter. Tomorrow we are going hiking with a group from our park. It well be the first time since my surgery so well see how it goes. It is about a four mile hike in the mountains. We want to wish each of you a Happy New Year's.

Alaska Cruise.May 6-12, 2009

Here is a sample of our Alaska cruise...our room stewart would leave us a animal each night on our bed. Our monkey is a sample of our last night. The next picture is us together in Juneau.

The next one is Royce and his mining partner in Ketchikan. We toured Glacier Bay and saw many glaciers. They are such a pretty blue! The ship is the one we were on and it was called the "Carnival Spirit" and it was 10 stories high. We were on the 7th floor. Thank's to our four children for a wonderful trip.

Arrived in Oregon

Hi...we had a good trip and arrived at Dawn's about 2:30 P.M. We had good weather with just a few drop's of rain after we were in Oregon. We had a short day today so slept in and took it easy. Deric hooked us up to the internet so can use our computer while here.

Sunday Drive

We had a good church service with a Guest speaker from Park Rapids. Then decided it was too warm to do much today so decided to go for a ride. We went to Queen Creek, Coolage and Florence. We were amazed at how these little town's had grown. When we ended up in Florence decided to stop and see cousin Pat and John. They have such a nice place and insisted we stay for supper. You would have thought she knew we were coming as she had four chicken breast cook, spanish rice, mixed veg., roll's and lemon cheese cake....sooo good.
We are getting excited to go on our cruice. We registered on the computer so well make that alot faster when we get there. We didn't have a printer to print our pass so called Dawn and she was able to do it. We plan to leave here on Sat. and head for Oregon where we will leave our Motorhome at Dawn's and just drive our car to Vancouver, B.C. Well let you know how our trip was.
