Greetins

Hi everyone,
I just wanted to let everyone know what is going on in our lives. For those of you that didn't know, Ken and I were gone Sept 12-19 on vacation to Monreal, Canada. We took a day trip into Quebec City, and a day tour of Montreal. In Montreal we saw the Olympic Village, botantical garden, and churches!!!!!!!! 450 churches in Montreal, 75% of them are Roman Catholic. The area is very old and has lots of history - I was very surprised at how much history we were told about both cities and the country of Canada. It was all very interesing and beautiful. And we did lots of walking. The only times we didn't walk, was the tours, and the cab rides to and from the airport.
On Sunday, Oct 5, I spent the day at Kasson at a scrapbooking get-together. Michelle, Heather, Nancy, Barb and Kim were all there, so it was lots of fun. I decided to go so I could go something with the Montreal pictures........I didn't get all the pages done, but did get a good start.
On Monday it was back to work............
I'll get some pictures up for all to see in a few days........

Bob's Camping




Hello to all. Just a quick note to say HI to everyone and to let you know what is going on in Wyoming.
We went camping with some friends over the Labor Day weekend. The boys decided that it would be a good time to sight in their rifles on a few prairie dogs. Bob put the camper on his pickup, loaded up the four wheeler and we were on our way. We went up past Medicine Bow on some BLM land where the boys like to go antelope hunting. There is a nice open space where we can park the campers and trailers. They are a bunch of trails up there that we can take the four wheelers on to get back into the hills and hunt for prairie dogs. We found quite a few to test our aim out on. Bob even got to use his shooting sticks on some of them.
Some other friends of ours came by to have supper with us on Saturday night. They were out driving around hunting up a few prairie dogs and stopped by to see what we had found. They stayed for a while and we even got to roast some marshmallows over the camp fire.
We were going to stay until Monday morning, but a pretty nasty cold front came through on Sunday morning and it started raining so we packed up and came home that afternoon.
Hope everyone is well and I will send you more pictures etc as the hunting seasons progress.
Bob and Julie

hi from Bob





Hello All,
I just wanted you to know that Bob just got back from Alaska. He was invited to go by a friend of ours. Our friend was planning to go with his brother, but his brother couldn't go so he asked Bob if he would like to go with him. I had to force Bob to go (ha ha), but like I told him, it isn't often that you get the chance to go to Alaska for ten days and fish for salmon and halibut, so if you get invited you need to go.
They flew out of Denver on the 13th of June, flew into Anchorage, and then took a small plan on to Kenai. There they were met by our friend's son, and they stayed at his house for ten days. They went salmon fishing on the Kenai river and fished for halibut out of Anchor Point and Dry Creek.
They also drove over to Whittier Alaska and set shrimp pots and trolled on the ocean for halibut and salmon. They actually slept in a tent right off of Prince Edward Sound. There was still a lot of snow up there, so much for global warming.
They had a really good time and Bob wants to go back again next summer.
Hope you enjoy the pictures.
Julie
