Looking forward to 2013

This year is going to be good!! To start, the year contains my lucky number and it is the year I turn 60. I don't worry about the number of years I have been here, only the quality of life. This is the year Dave and I will fly to Ecuador business class (thank you Aeroplan points!). I have already booked our 10 day land-based time in the Galapagos and am looking at how we will spend our time in the jungle. We are leaving on June 19 and returning July 20, but in the mean time, I won a ticket with Air Canada to Venezuela. Still sorting the booking code out with them and hope to travel for a week in March.

Happy New Year to all.

Coffee together in the morning

Basie stayed overnight with us for the first time.

Swimming together

I've been taking my grandson, Basie, swimming whenever we are together. He can only last about 30 minutes, but I figure any time in the water is good for his confidence and we can practise what he learned during the summer when we took lessons for two weeks.
