Jo was hacked and thought the blog was deleted. We started posting on Facebook. We discovered the blog is here so we are back. Jo and Elliott are baby boomers. Elliott retired after a career of teaching Accounting at a University. Jo worked as a Social Worker for Head Start for many years and knows a lot about parenting. They sold their house on the ocean and together with their dogs, Cloey and Zoey, moved to California to be with their now three grandchildren!

We are trying to be less judgmental so I won't talk about a couple of annoying things. </b></p><p><b>I am trying very hard to do this blog in as non-OCD as possible. I wrote for epinions for years and don't want to be detailed like I was. "Just the facts, ma'am."</b></p><p><b>We rented a car so did what we usually do. We borrowed a couple of itineraries from the web and followed those. One thing we would do differently is arrive in Calgary and leave in Edmonton though this is not a direct flight. We would have toured Calgary for two days instead of leaving it to the end. </b></p><p><b>Here is a link: (I get no money for any part of this blog.)</b></p><p><b>This one is a six day tour. We spent 10 days in the area. https://www.tourradar.com/t/225399</b></p><p><b>We also found (as you will) dozens of itineraries of "best of" "must stops" on the Internet. </b></p><p><b>This was ours:</b></p><p><b>We decided to stay in Cranmore for 5 nights because it was much less expensive than staying in Banff National Park. </b></p><p><b>While here we went to Kooteney National Park. We did a fabulous short and easy walk/hike in this park called Marble Canyon. </b></p><p><b>Another stop we made was to Radium Hot Springs. I was not impressed. This doesn't compare to the hot springs we found in Iceland. It just wasn't hot enough. But there are many hot springs so find the one that is hottest (115 degrees F). </b></p><p><b>There are a lot of pull-overs so take advantage of the scenery from them. The Great Divide is just kind of cool. It marks the boarder of Kooteney and Bamff. </b></p><p><b>I will be showing you lots of waterfalls. We love waterfalls and water of any kind and you will not be disappointed in that regard! From Canmore we visited Lake Louise. Ok not to be a downer or someone who has just seen so many gorgeous lakes I was not impressed. Crater Lake in the U.S. made me cry and other lakes (Bow Lake) are more beautiful. JMHO</b></p><p><b>Lake Louise is home to the famous Fairmont Hotel whose rates were up to $1,000 a night! You can walk into it. Nothing spectacular except the views. It didn't have any old world charm that I thought it might. </b></p><p><b>We spent time at Moraine Lake, whose color is incredible and the setting even more so. </b></p><p><b>Yoho National Park - don't miss the Natural Bridge. It is incredible . We spent some time looking around the small town called Fields also. </b></p><p><b>A must see was supposed to be the spiral tunnel. I'll let you look it up but really I had no idea what this engineering feat was although I supposed I could conceptualize it. These tunnels are used today. </b></p><p><b>Still in Yoho we went to Emerald Lake, which again was a pretty color and great if you want to kayak. It rained on us so we didn't spend much time there. </b></p><p><b>We were still in Canmore when we went to Banff National Park. Seen in the middle of Canmore. </b></p><p><b>No joke we saw 3 different sightings of bears; and many of elk.We didn't know that it is against the law to go closer than the length of a football field. Only once did we get out of the car. Don't do that. It freaks the animals out and truly this is their home. Take pictures from your car. Another advantage of not doing a tour.

The Loomis Levys haven't spoken to us since January and now that means if we don't have a relationship with them, we can't have time with the kids. Ouch that hurts. Anyway, saying more aggravated me so I'll leave it at that. </p><p>I am getting used to the inhibitor I am on. More tired than usually and I don't know if pains are from R.A. or the Cancer drug.</p><p>Or cancer. I just had a uterine biopsy. Getting back into the swing of things here at the country club, which is nice, but I would really like to have a lake house in NY by the time we get back there. </p><p>As you know I love to post memes, etc. If one of Loomis Levys paid any attention, she would know that and would not have taken a meme seriously.</p><p>I will share some here, but I get lots from Instagram, which I can't log onto right now! Truthfully, I am bone tired and don't have it in me right now. </p><p>Ok I'm back today and getting my hair cut and colored. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyDNZEk3kwr791AeSKKgy5d198IXblvKkQMD-TFoyZI64JaDbptDCfkGJs7r1abqfhZm_Zf89jxdkoSH13oug9cwdxf8vRUmL-BnrxoAyy2MH50V1_vPV9-l-l3dR06ZRzq0EcN_rRwzqT01rwhoegX3HEuisYnNqtoNCuawGEr77bPqQvUTIvi2j0LQ/s395/314755828_808654843716758_8101044301055524511_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="395" data-original-width="395" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyDNZEk3kwr791AeSKKgy5d198IXblvKkQMD-TFoyZI64JaDbptDCfkGJs7r1abqfhZm_Zf89jxdkoSH13oug9cwdxf8vRUmL-BnrxoAyy2MH50V1_vPV9-l-l3dR06ZRzq0EcN_rRwzqT01rwhoegX3HEuisYnNqtoNCuawGEr77bPqQvUTIvi2j0LQ/s320/314755828_808654843716758_8101044301055524511_n.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><b><img border="0" data-original-height="736" data-original-width="736" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHHb9Pnhid4h6AGKhHaBtXiS2dd7G2GyytLywqQaETcJeIa1z7NQwvbnq8iVmgPKqWQrsEcAMgyMv9x1J-V7kI2i4-_3NaY9vIdCg5NKC-iFyxjO2cecGZ21jxRwAIHBtq3b9KqK618r_LAx9A-UZW_63a4WEIKq6PnqD71nMN25b_AzOJLTrBMS5PTQ/s320/315613649_10229236964331820_5770649490235554661_n.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="320" /></b></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"></td></tr></tbody></table><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHHb9Pnhid4h6AGKhHaBtXiS2dd7G2GyytLywqQaETcJeIa1z7NQwvbnq8iVmgPKqWQrsEcAMgyMv9x1J-V7kI2i4-_3NaY9vIdCg5NKC-iFyxjO2cecGZ21jxRwAIHBtq3b9KqK618r_LAx9A-UZW_63a4WEIKq6PnqD71nMN25b_AzOJLTrBMS5PTQ/s736/315613649_10229236964331820_5770649490235554661_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><b></b></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>Recipes for living, loving and laughinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04001009133210647073noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6893556182216357357.post-375153734020073872022-10-05T12:43:00.000-07:002022-10-05T12:43:23.885-07:00It is now October 15, 2022<p> Although I had to look at my watch to know the date. We've spent the time mostly looking at houses in Monroe, NJ and then discovered that the over 55s were not dog friendly. I did get the furbabies to be emotional support dogs and psychiatric service dogs, but we are not ready to take them on the plane next week to go home. We have gone to a couple of campgrounds and went to Asbury Park. Initially we saw the kids every other day but neither one is working so we go in on Sundays because it is easier to park. </p><p>I am now on exemestane, the inhibitor to ward off any cancers. I was tired before now I could sleep all day. I'm having scans and doctor's appointments when I get home so maybe they can figure out what's wrong with my hip/back/leg pain!!</p><p>Not really in</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Breed is Havanese. They are adorable. </span></b></p><p><b><span style="font-size: medium;">Our destination is New York where we'll stay for the first week near our friends. Our youngest daughter got a job in New York City so this will be the first time our girls are in the same state let alone city in a very long time. </span></b></p><p><b><span style="font-size: medium;">The next day we went to a very cute town called Winnemucca where we got coffee and were for sure in buckaroo country. </span></b></p><p><b><span style="font-size: medium;">We have gone across this country several times. In 2004 we went for 11 weeks; 2007 15 weeks and then when we went to see the baby in CA which we dead headered to. Once we got to Sacramento I got a call that my mom passed. We flew home and then flew back but then we had to go back to Massachusetts since Elliott was still teaching. It's pretty foggy in my mind because I had just lost my mom. </span></b></p><p><b><span style="font-size: medium;">We entered Wyoming at 10:30am after a horrible, cold night' sleep since we didn't have hookups. The next day Elliott figured we would be in Laramie so he was able to make a reservation, which is where we are now and we have electricity and all the comforts of home. </span></b></p><p><b><span style="font-size: medium;">Willie has a much smaller gas tank than Georgie did so we stop quite often for gas. Even with diesel gas is a lot less money than in CA. I will continue with this journey as I have wifi and will share some very boring pictures! </span></b></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfyKcx_YtN3YeyXBpyfNCCeNylRI8__D-WTfS0PE51yikbBAu6G1UJa5qmj6phPvnwuKBPLtFXgotw5n_Xn-0RMsDdA_e4TyTgHOpnTBEJeLYH-yZeabfuysoHFAYHASE2Krylu6tV36_IzhmFHwKsJDC1ooqivEWf3M6P1jxePEV_VfdomKYGp4fB2A/s720/285955163_10228717117859792_8783858721825768137_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="683" data-original-width="720" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfyKcx_YtN3YeyXBpyfNCCeNylRI8__D-WTfS0PE51yikbBAu6G1UJa5qmj6phPvnwuKBPLtFXgotw5n_Xn-0RMsDdA_e4TyTgHOpnTBEJeLYH-yZeabfuysoHFAYHASE2Krylu6tV36_IzhmFHwKsJDC1ooqivEWf3M6P1jxePEV_VfdomKYGp4fB2A/s320/285955163_10228717117859792_8783858721825768137_n.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0Ffggw7qXhkHqTJki0H-VXW-oSB1EDP0WszlFNLoVkjLSAmzM1q7NC-mTAATjnJCgljmV9AUi1Y-_RSAO8Yq_-qnhp9t0sl9k2EHAdJSoiEfF00B3fxfZtzs8y3VVcwBuB0pF6LYAVeKQwtgrWLswqEw_FIsGo568f7T0yERjpE1pFctADeZneJdQXA/s474/beautiful%20-%20Copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="474" data-original-width="474" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0Ffggw7qXhkHqTJki0H-VXW-oSB1EDP0WszlFNLoVkjLSAmzM1q7NC-mTAATjnJCgljmV9AUi1Y-_RSAO8Yq_-qnhp9t0sl9k2EHAdJSoiEfF00B3fxfZtzs8y3VVcwBuB0pF6LYAVeKQwtgrWLswqEw_FIsGo568f7T0yERjpE1pFctADeZneJdQXA/s320/beautiful%20-%20Copy.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_fylCE5LJaTnpJ7YlPfy06f3wSGg-iDdaKHLBwqSwlXHOXhvViNfin3_lSupKiAUvOVN3-QXOAal15UHdZxg16ohRrC93I9Ko9vm8qDBxIiFbjhwS07J05nlkDvz16L4ZqleHC3DnUaVRF4_DDdnSR9KjsJIEt_iroQBOH5RfaTjS2Z_GQT7vFEj2ZA/s612/1946702571-life-quote-stand-above%20-%20Copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="612" data-original-width="612" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_fylCE5LJaTnpJ7YlPfy06f3wSGg-iDdaKHLBwqSwlXHOXhvViNfin3_lSupKiAUvOVN3-QXOAal15UHdZxg16ohRrC93I9Ko9vm8qDBxIiFbjhwS07J05nlkDvz16L4ZqleHC3DnUaVRF4_DDdnSR9KjsJIEt_iroQBOH5RfaTjS2Z_GQT7vFEj2ZA/s320/1946702571-life-quote-stand-above%20-%20Copy.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><b><span style="font-size: medium;">I will end with some quotes that mean something to me. </span></b><p></p>Recipes for living, loving and laughinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04001009133210647073noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6893556182216357357.post-14273463265560783482022-06-18T10:52:00.002-07:002022-06-18T10:52:22.477-07:00Radiation #30 Done!! and super quotes from my soul to yours about familial relationships<p><span style="font-size: large;"> <i><span style="color: #e06666; font-family: helvetica;">Yay, it was great to wake up today knowing I don't have radiation, a doctor's appointment or need a scan!
