Hi Maureen ...missing your input , have not heard from you for a while ...all OK with you in the Yukon ???
N.

There's certainly lots to see and do in Ontariariario - but not enough 'free space'. I was surprised by the humid heat in early September. I'm always warmer than 'normal' people so I took lots of cooler clothing to wear and am really glad I did. Americans would see us in our shorts 'n T's and kept asking "Where are you guys from, anyway!" I could really handle the cold times but it's the dark that would probably get to me after awhile. I can't seem to get enough sunlight, even in SW Ontario.... which is about parallel with San Francisco in the US and Rome. I could have spent a lot more time in the Kluane NP... maybe we'll get a chance to go back by way of Nunavut and NWT - assuming there are roads!! Not a lot of roads up there! Missed the Northern Lights too... :-( - next time!

Hi Again... I really loved the Yukon - although the weather really improved once we got to Tok and Fairbanks. The sun was out enough in Whitehorse to have a couple really nice days there. I loved that Mills (?) Canyon and spent hours there taking pictures and talking to folks. Do you live right in Whitehorse? We spent 2 weeks touring the Yukon and back down through AK and finally a well-needed rest on a cruise ship back to Vancouver. I posted a few of my 1500 pictures on my page if you'd like to check them out.

Thanks Maureen ...it's hot here in Salmon Arm and fires in the distances ...we have been spared in the Shuswap .. so far ...be well

Heya!!

way to go maureen
nice weight loss :)

Hi Maureen - I'm going to have to read your blog on your weight loss with Weight Watchers. I tried to join them many moons ago - but they wouldn't take me due to my being diabetic. I need to shed about 30 lbs - would like to shed more - but I'm afraid to not fit into my clothing anymore that I've had the last 30 years - I know lame excuse for not shedding weight (and maybe being able to take less insulin).

The closest I came to the YUKON was when I was working as a porter on CNR TORONTO TO VANCOUVER run for 15 years, a couple of times I went to PRINCE RUPERT, in the 40s. insulin-dependent since 1977 and a ROLE MODEL to at least 40.000, have learned from some of the top people in diabetes and at 91 still trailblazing and acting like I am in my sixties. I have an idea and since your into cooking good food, why dont you think of having a diabetes feast on INSULIN APPRECIATION DAY, JULY 30,collect your best chefs and diabetes health professionals, and supply a diabetes meal, EVERYONE can eat and enjoy. Start up an AMIGOKIT way of networking, that is call up 5 diabetics EVERY DAY, it will serve 2 purposes, make someones DAY and maybe save a LIFE, tell each one to call 5 people and so on. Its worth a try to start this kind of support.My contribution towards this DAY is asking insulin users, globally to join me, in silence,and give THANKS for us living a healthy lifestyle, TODAY. AMIGOKIT, Keep InTouch.. clarence.haynes@sympatico.ca

Its stuff like your in-laws living in the Niagara Region that makes this huge world seem so small some days, and even the biggest problems look so small ...... kewl :-)>
