 The days are full and the list is getting worked on.  Time is going so fast.........not many days left now. We booked our flight to Phoenix and plans are made to leave Comox October 31 after church...........and making our way to Victoria for a visit with Roz then over by Clipper Ship to Seattle to see Ron and Patricia.    In the meantime in an attempt to keep the situation light...............please enjoy the following        

Americans were gripped this past weekend with the high drama of watching men drilling a hole in the ground: a hole that represented the difference between life and death and a hole that illustrates why, contrary to what we have been told, we are not just another ape. On August 5th, a copper and gold mine in Chile caved in. The tragedy turned into a national crusade when, seventeen days later, it was confirmed that thirty-three miners had miraculously survived the cave-in. They were trapped in a rescue chamber 2,300 feet beneath the surface. President Sebastian Pinera and his government made the miners' rescue their top priority. Work began immediately on drilling a 28-inch hole down to the rescue chamber to extract the survivors. No expense or effort was spared, and technical help came in from all around the world. And while families maintained a silent but painful vigil, food, water and other supplies were lowered down to the survivors through a smaller hole. This...

Claes and I had an fantastic time over in Powell River spending time with the entire Petri Family and eating so much turkey..............Saturday storm  was incredible and surprisingly nothing got broke.  The hydro flickered a number of times but all stayed light up.  It was great to share early Christmas with everyone. Hope you look at the picture gallery to see how the little ones have grown.  This is Bradon and Annika Jacob, Mat and Annika We are pleased  to share with you that Ryan and Sophie, Angus, and Stella are expecting a brother or sister in June 2011!!!!   Wow...........Grandpa is pretty proud of his brood.  We stopped at the view point in Powell River where the family has a plaque honouring Great Grandma Marianne ..............we told her the news and she whispered back..............yes I know.   She is pleased as well. What a whole lot to be thankful for!!!! Grandpa Claes and Grandma Lue Remember to check out t...

JOEY, JOEY what an incredible little buddy you have been for the last five years.  Remembering the day I found you and your brother  I will always be thankful for the many hours of entertainment, companionship and feline love that you have shared with Claes and I. The time has come for our second trip south with The White Shell II.......you know your 37 foot ketch that you helped crew last year?  Yeah, we are going back for the second part of our adventure which we hope will take us down to Costa Rica.  It should be pretty exciting except........... You my little buddy cant come along this time.  It is the Captains and I's opinion that it will be too dangerous for you what with wild Mexican dogs, alligators, snakes and big spiders.....we think that we would be putting you in jeopardy if we brought you along.  This is breaking our hearts! Little buddy we will miss you something terrible. We would be very selfish to bring you along so ... we are presentl...

Or as some call it fall.  We are busy making our selves comfortable in #1 - The Captains Suite here at Kye Bay.  Thanks to our boss Roz we get to finish our time in Canada in this lovely spot.  Check out our favourite link page to connect to the Resort website at  www.kyebay.com  See for yourselves and think about visiting this incredible spot on Vancouver Island.   This also means I am finished my part here at the resort of being "The Summer" Manager and have nothing but great thoughts and wishes to and for Jane Saunders who is taking over for the winter.  Her man Fred will be arriving sometimes in October as well.  Claes still has four more shifts to do at his logging truck driving job.  He ordered his fancy SSB radio yesterday.  Now he is beginning to get anxious to leave and return to his beloved   White Shell II.   Check out The Captains Page and if you have any questions post a comment and it will get read!!!!...
