I've loved reading about all your trips, which have inspired some of ours. Also the recipes I've made that you've posted have all turned out great. Just felt it was high time I wrote and said thank you to you! And congratulations on your 50th wedding anniversary!Ruthnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429786372649785047.post-733906393244945732021-09-10T09:44:09.963-07:002021-09-10T09:44:09.963-07:00Hello Judy!

How wonderful it must have been to visit your sister and see her new home and ranch, as well as to travel on to see other relatives and friends.<br /> My husband was very grateful we traveled to Italy a couple years ago to visit aunts and uncles as a few have passed away since then. We treasure the time we spent with them now as memories.<br />We visited Waterton Pafk a few years ago and a bit of Manitoba--all very beautiful places!<br />We have also been suffering with very bad air quality all summer from western wildfire smoke and ozone from hot temperatures. I bought Hepa filter air purifiers to help indoors.<br /> Happy and healthy new school year for your grands! Happy Anniversary again!

And your trip to the prairies looks like a wonderful time! You sister's flowers around her home are beautiful and I'm so glad you got to see Tony and Char and John and Betty!! I remember that Fairmont Hot Springs Pool ... we stayed in the hotel while our MB cousins stayed at the campground. So happy that Elmer was well enough again and you could do this trip.Anneliesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10288355284573379421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429786372649785047.post-11517679719648564272021-09-07T08:01:50.663-07:002021-09-07T08:01:50.663-07:00Happy Anniversary!

You always do such a good job of sharing the beauty of whatever environment you find yourselves in. What a blessing to see so many family/friends. If Covid has taught us anything, it's taught us to live (at least a little more) in the moment since it can change quickly. Hope the fire situation is resolved swiftly. Here in AZ we had fires earlier, but fortunately we've had a good monsoon for the first time in a decade. California is having a terrible fire season. We do get their smoke when the fires are in Southern CA, but are not too affected by the current fires. Enjoy September!Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01500908214242939547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429786372649785047.post-18275579536701583092021-09-06T10:44:27.878-07:002021-09-06T10:44:27.878-07:00Such a great trip - reconnecting with family and a...Such a great trip - reconnecting with family and appreciating the freedom and beauty of the prairies! 2021 is such a special year for you! I loved the collages and especially the picture of you standing in the wheat field. It was so nice to see the picture of you with Charlotte and Betty! I pray that the autumn season will bring the much needed rain.Rosellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14615262714438296920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429786372649785047.post-77384242490897412582021-09-03T07:33:37.136-07:002021-09-03T07:33:37.136-07:00You (or Elmer) takes the best photos.

It looks highly unlikely for this year, though Adam is considering a run for it for the coming holiday weekend. The family has been divided for quite some time by that artificial border yet things elsewhere are wide open. <br /><br />It is beyond wonderful to meet up with family and friends once again. The photo of you in the field (wheat?) is marvelous and, if course, those with Elmer are great, too. Good to see those Mennonite Girls once again as well. <br /><br />Have a blessed and happy September!

Love the photo of you in that golden field. <br />We're heading to the Rockies next week, and with the change in the weather, I'm packing for all seasons! We'll be camping in our trailer and enjoying the sights as you did (although we're taking the number 1). <br />Happy September days, Judy.Lorriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03653026442945027184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429786372649785047.post-40921584411324873702021-09-01T22:23:10.443-07:002021-09-01T22:23:10.443-07:00What a glorious August you had!!

That's funny about those cows crossing the border without permission. You saw some beautiful areas of Canada. Glad you were celebrated again. 50 years is worthy of a few celebrations. Happy September to you and yours. It's starting out with another wonderful celebration!ellen b.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14531430948905935301noreply@blogger.com
