Carmeh is 7 today!
I remember when she was just 8 weeks old. I know that she misses her bird but she is getting more attention from us and I think she is more relaxed. Lucky dog….she gets birthday emails from a vet in Acapulco and from Gramma Katie. Her birthday gift will be the return of her Dad. He should be back from Palm Springs mid afternoon.

Happy Ending!
She knows where the food comes from
You may recall that we boarded Chiekka for our trip to Point Roberts. Because of changes in our schedule we asked Cheryl if she would be willing to take the bird permanently. As we are away for almost 6 months of the year it would be better for the bird. So Chiekka is in a new home where it is apparent that she will become even more spoilt but best of all get some training. Cheryl has a background in birds and has already converted her deck into a safe haven for Chiekka to see other birds flying and to be out in the fresh air. She was in our lives for just 2 1/2 years but has left us with many wonderful memories. We will truly miss her.

Home safe & sound!!
The installation of the airbag valve mechanism was successful and we got back to Holiday Part about 5:00PM on July 26th.. We backed into the beach site and decided to just stay there in the RV rather than move back into the house. It was good to be back in the dry heat. Just before leaving Point Roberts we fueled up the RV. The prices are so very different. No wonder so many Canadians wait in line to cross the border just for gas!
Pricing in both CAD & USD funds!!
Just over the border this is what Canadians pay!

Point Roberts!!
Many of you may never have heard of this place. Even though it is in the USA you have to drive through Canada to get here. If you were coming from Seattle you would cross the border into Canada drive North towards Tsawwassen and then head South to the Point as it is called, where you once again cross into the USA. A very unique town on a peninsula off the tip of B.C., Canada. It is filled with quaint cottages, many artisan studios, a few restaurants, beaches, a huge marina (in which many Canadians keep their boats), a golf course. In fact any BCers maintain cottages here as do several of our friends. The RV Park is not a thing of beauty but does offer wifi and 50AMP full service. It is almost full of older rv’s left here year round.
The nicer part of this place
One of many artisan galleries
open for wine, organic produce and lunch
pedal pushers for rent
Friday nite, Judy, a friend of over 25 years!

The reason the girls love Gramma Katie..me too!
Contessa..no more wine
Sunday lunch at Brewsters
- ……………at 4:30 we are preparing to head to Leah & Jenafor’s. They have a cottage here at The Point and live
- here full time in the summer and come for the holidays, etc. Being Canadians they are not allowed to be here as much as they would prefer. Jenafor loves to garden and we had fresh veggies and lettuce from her garden. Leah grilled us some fresh spring salmon. A superb meal with with superb friends. The evening ended all too soon but we all had early morning commitments.
This morning we left Point Roberts. No problems at the border, no questions asked! We had an appointment at Walker Heavy Duty re the airbag problem. Hopefully the new rod and lever mechanism will be all we need. Off to Kelowna and home.
