Summer get away!

We enjoyed having a trip again this summer. Seems with being gone for a few weeks in the winter we don't think as much about getting away in the summer. Maybe we are still catching up from being away then! Enjoyed being at convention and seeing lots of friends we have made in Texas in the winter. And of course, convention was special in itself.

Our ship has come in!



Heading out for some time on the Rainy River.



An island used by lots of sea gulls and cormorants for nesting. It was pretty much devoid of vegetation. Very noisy and didn't smell real good around there either!



Mermaid made about 75 years ago.




Waiting for the train! The bridge opened for us again after the train had passed.




There was a spectacular sun dog! This picture hardly does it justice!



Beautiful sunset. The international bridge. Looks a lot different then the one going in to Mexico!


Our friends condo.




End of a special day!

Looks like you got a little sun there, Minnie. Looks like you have an enjoyable time. Heard you were maybe going to a Can. conv. and wondered if it was Emo.

yes, I did get some sun but not bad. I thought I mentioned to you we were going to Emo -- guess when I tell a number of people can kind of forget who I did or didn't tell. maybe a sign of age??? It was special to be there in many ways.
