Kananaskis for the Summer

I can't believe it is June 18th already!  We are back working in Kananaskis for the summer.  The weather so far has not been great.  We are both getting back into the routine of working, me at the store and Doug doing maintenance.  We are enjoying being back in the mountains!  New this year, we both got kayaks😍😎  I have been out in mine 2 times, Doug 1 time in his.  Now if the weather gets better we can take them out more often.  We both really enjoy kayaking!!  Bear 139 is back and she has 2 cubs, her first.  She is really causing problems in the campground as her and her cubs won't leave.  They had to close loop A and possible closure in loop B!  She is just too used to people.  Her cubs are so adorable, her and the cubs walked right through the compound where we are!  The next day she was laying right behind our unit having a nap!  Hopefully she will get the message and leave the campground!😔

Mesa, Arizona TowerPoint Resort

February 23rd,

I can't belive we are nearing the end of February!!  We have been here for 3 months, boy does time ever fly!!  It has been very enjoyable to stay in one place for the winter, especially in a resort that offers so many activities, etc.!!  The weather has been quite nice.  We had a few cold snaps(not like back home though)!  I made a pound puppy out of my Blue Fox fur coat, it was quite a challenge as I had to sew it all by hand!  I had a lot of help from Linda here at the resort, she has made a lot of teddy bears and such.  I love the way he turned out and he is going to be perched on my bed!!  I am now in the process of making a Teddy Bear!  I also used the long arm quilting machine on my quilt.  That was fun!!  In January we had a visit from Alyssa, Paige and Katie, they had a great time and we had a lot of fun with them.  They were with us for a week.  We also had a visit from brother Herman and niece Elice.  They stayed for a couple of days, it was nice to see them!  Herman will be back in March with Annette for another visit!  We are in festival week here at the resort and they have so much going on!!  The theme this year is USA day and Canada day!!  Lots of fun to be had by all!!  They have .25 cent beer and wine for Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, gotta love it!!!!
