We really felt we were in a winter wonder land and did not want to leave.

The shine of sparkly crystals every where the pictures do not show how lovely it really was.

Innsbruck

Innsbruck was a lovely place. I really loved Austria. In Europe the buildings are so beautiful.
How could you not love to live in a building like this.
A cup of coffee that is only 1/2 full that cost 5 dollars. Some of the ladies were not too friendly I think they could understand us even if they pretended not to.

Graduation time

Today we went off to Kamloops to pick up my oldest son's suit his graduation is this coming weekend. He is so full of piss a vinegar we did have fun though. Now if I can just get him to school for the next month all will be good.

Isn't he lovely it is so hard to believe he is all grown up it seems like only yesterday we had to sit in front of his door way with are legs across to keep him in at bed time and recite many stories in hopes he would fall to sleep. He told me he felt like God in his white suit ...
It has been straight ahead full speed since we arrived home no down time for a second and it doesn't look like it will slow down for awhile.
I was asked how everyone managed while I was away. Well my husband did well all kids were good animals all made it. My husband has very bad allergies so he had to chores with a mask on his face. I think my kids might have a little too much freedom I know who runs the roost around here:)

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY TO ALL YOU MOMS! I HOPE YOU HAD A WONDERFUL DAY AND BE THANKFUL THAT WE HAVE THE BEST JOB IN THE WORLD

Visiting our cousins home for the first time
It was a very warm day we sat on the train in the middle of no where for what should have been about a 30 minutes ride for over an hour an half. A power failure with the signal lights.

I am home!!!!



Hi everyone! What an amazing holiday I have been on I have been to eight different countries. I have seen so much the days are blending into one another. The pictures I have taken... at this point I have down loaded 2670 photo's and I am not done yet. Can you imagine my silly old computer is actually groaning. I have another card to put in and then photo's from my moms cameras. It was wonderful from England the moores (not sure on that spelling), the 1000's of sheep and what a wonderful time to go with the baby lambs. We drove to tiny little communities with so much history, we saw a ghost or two when we visited Howarth the place Bronte Sisters where from. We headed up to Scotland we drove along the coast to seaside towns. We ate English candy, cakes and drank are fill of Orange juice. We rode a tube, trains, got on and off boats from little boats to scenic cruisers to river boats, flew in 4 airplanes.
My camera was a great trouper it did some awesome pictures a huge percent where taken through windows of the car, bus or train most of them are zoomed in for 100's of miles up into the mountains or if I spotted a tiny house or a goat way up in the Swiss Alps zoomed in I did and walla a wonderful picture.
I hope to put my photos up on flicker but give me time we are in birthday mode and Graduation for the next few weeks. I will write more and add more photo's as I can. However today is soccer, birthday party and trying to tell myself I am not sleepy.
Thanks to my Mom for the most wonderful trip Savannah and I have ever been on we had so much fun, many laughs, mom was wonderful she was right beside us every step up to the Alps, through mountain towns, climbed down the Eiffel Tower we walked all over Europe. Thank you again. xxxoxxx
I will write more with the book on the spelling so I can tell you all about it.
