travelling right, travelling light

In the midst of travel, there are times when you have to be reminded that real life continues. This past week we were saddened that our family lost a much loved and cherished pet: Lea.

For Roger and my parents, she was a wonderful companion and source of joy for the last 12 years. She will always be remembered, and will be very missed. We want to honor her memory and the joy she brought to our family, as well as the many she came in contact with in her lifetime. As she is in this picture, she will also be in our hearts forever: sweet, gentle and kind. Goodbye, girl.

We've been updating our blog, and I realized I needed to update the map. And then we sat and looked at it. Wow. Really, wow. It's incredible to look how far we have come graphically. Take a look yourself:

As well, we figured some of you may like to see our photos again. Here are 2 links to our photo albums so far:
