Keith from CA

Feel like I'm stalking you...but had to come back to check out your pics - glad I did, loved the glacier shots, memories of Whistler came flooding back - beautiful place, my regrets of not making time for Banff... I've realised that by seeing people's pics how much more i want to travel...thank you for sharing...the desserts did not escape me either, I have a shockingly sweet tooth...

Hi Keith! Sorry your potential SA meetings in Canada didn't work out. Celia had planned her trip to Fripp Island with us since back in April. Otherwise I'm sure she would have loved to see you in Toronto. Rob flew home to NC with Bryce last Thurs. & came home yesterday. We have now happily put our suitcases away until our next week at Fripp in Jan. How far away from San Francisco do you live? We will be flying there & spending a couple days before our trip to China in May. Maybe we could arrange a CA meeting?? Food for thought. I'm looking forward to seeing your Canadian photos soon!

Had to come right back to reply to YOUR reply! Our beach house seems like a mansion to us, too! We could never have afforded to own the whole house on our own, but back in 2004 a 1/13th share of it was being sold as part of an LLC. At the time we didn't even know what that was, but it turned out to be a great deal. With 12 other co-owners we share every aspect of the house - living there, maintenance, insurance, taxes, new appliances when needed, etc. And we get to stay there 4 weeks per year, one in each season on a rotating schedule. Most of the other families have a LOT more money than we do. We're the poor retired military folks among a lot of doctors & lawyers. But they're all nice people, & we get together with them for one annual meeting per year to elect officers & make decisions on house matters, etc. We feel very very lucky to be a part of that group. As for a Sudoku get together in San Francisco that would be great. If we plan far enough ahead maybe we could get folks to come from all over CA, maybe even Judy & Tom?? Who wouldn't want to take a trip to SF!! I will let you know as soon as our China tour group confirms our departure date. We're hoping for either May 18 or 25, & we'll fly out there 4-5 days before that.

Trick or Treat, I have an empty wine glass here and a Pumpkin Chiffon Pie for you.

Hello Keith, fabulous photographs. The falls look spectacular, love all the statues too, wonderful to see so many different parts of Canada, thank you x

Keith - loved your pictures! And I love the part of Canada you visited. I haven't been there in years, but I have fond memories of Quebec, Montreal (stayed there the weekend before a ski trip in the area) and Ontario. I spent a week at a ski resort about 3 hours north of Toronto. Flew in and out of Toronto, so I got to see a bit of that city, too.

Love your photos looks like you had an amazing holiday.
I alos love the caption under your site photo.

Trick or Treat!

ok - thought it was a bit deja vu-ey, but it didn't dawn on me - must've been tired - well that's my excuse! I thort I had seen that dessert plate before!
start again ...great pics Keith!

Great pictures, Keith. I hope you enjoyed your Canadian vacation.

Keith, I think your photos are wonderful, you have a great imagination. Thank you for sharing them.

Great photos Keith! I left a few comments!

Hello Keith - I just visited some of your latest photos and you certainly have some lovely ones of your latest trip.
Some lovely memories there.

Do you realize that harps, flutes Lutes were played before the time of King David.

Hi Keith: I just wanted to tell you that I enjoyed your Canada pictures very much. Looks like you and Mrs had a great time and sure saw a lot of Canads.

Had a look at some of your photos and they brought back memories of a couple of our trips. Hope you went on the train at Shagway as we felt it was one of the highlights of our trip. You have some great photos.

Hi Keith, I visited your flickr page and completely enjoyed your pics. You look like you had a lot of fun. I made a few comments, too.

Weigh in report for week 44: I lost 5 pounds this week. I'm still 4 pounds heavier than before I left for Canada, but I'm back going in the right direction.

Weigh in report for week 45: I lost 1 pound this week. I was hoping for more, but, at least I'm still headed down.

Keith, you're doing a great job! Are you done with traveling for awhile?

Weigh in report for week 46: I lost 2 pounds this week. My back's been sore, so I haven't exercised very much, but I've been eating better. Now, if I can just get better control over the beer. Thanks for the support, Angie.

I am roaming the world to say for the birthday wishes. I just have to stop and listen to Debussy By the way, Buddha taught weight control... just eat a little less each time. I'm serious. It was his advice to a king who kept falling asleep because he ate too much.

ahhh that was bliss, even though I missed the resonance of a Steinway Grand.

Keith, I have recently completed a book on addiction which will be published late next year. If I can help you in any way on the mental aspects of dieting, let me know. I have a few tricks up my sleeve, but I would need to know something of the background. I'll send an email address to your sudoku email

Hello Keith - Wow! What a beautiful train station! I love the witches hats! We went to lunch several years ago in Lansing to a restaurant that was a converted train station. It was quite a unique building. (I could picture the "olden" days with women in their hats and long dresses!) The architecture has sure changed in the last 100 years.! I have a hard time understanding how it can be cheaper to truck "stuff" instead of shipping it on a train, especially considering the price of gas.

Thanks for sharing your pictures!

I stopped by to wish you and your family a very Happy Thanksgiving.

Keith, just stopping by to wish you and yours a Happy Thanksgiving.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING to you and your family, Keith!

Keith
wishing you and yours a wonderful day!

Keith & Linda: HAVE A WONDERFUL THANKSGIVING &
GIVE THANKS FOR ALL THE BLESSING BESTOWED UPON US HERE IN AMERICA.

Have fun with the kids!

Wishing you and your family a Happy and Blessed Thanksgiving! Hope your day reminds you of all of the wonderful things we have for which to be thankful!

and Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family - got some snow here is fine morning... speaking of trains - my sons and I went into Chicago to check out the Star Wars exhibit and they have a large layout of trains to enjoy also - I have a train also - but boxed away - should get it out sometime and enjoy it once again. Take care and enjoy your day, Mary

Keith, wishing you and your loved ones a very Happy Thanksgiving.

Gday Keith, just passing, thought I'd drop in!
All is well here at the mo (touch wood), and I hope this note finds you and yours well.
Take care,
Gail

Hi Keith, sorry for responding so late but things really got hectic for last couple of months. Got so involved in settling my younger daughter that I was in virtual spin and picture was quite hazy. It seems to be getting clearer now and hopefully she will be settled soon.
Getting to the top of the page is quite easy for people in Asia region since most of us are back from work or are in relaxed state of the evening when the day changes over in Oz.
will keep in touch. bye and take care.

Hi Keith! Assume you are back from your Thanksgiving visit with your daughter & family. Hope you had a good time together. I have missed seeing comments from you lately now that I have been able to read them a little more often. That certainly is a beautiful train station. I have an e-mail about trains I must look for to send to you. Hope the upcoming month of December is full of good times & good memories for you & Linda.

Sorry I called Lynne Linda! It was another slip of my aging feeble mind. Think I'd better start doing more brain calisthenics.

Weigh in report for week 48, I've gained 5 pounds since my last weigh in 2 weeks ago. I missed weigh in last week because of traveling to visit family for Thanksgiving. What with that and friends visiting our house this past week, I haven't been being careful, but just enjoying the moment ... and then the next.

i do not think it is a good idea

Hi Keith, fabulous shot. Love it!

Just dropping in to say I hope you and your family have a great Christmas and New Year.

Mickey and family.
