Farewell

It is always a sad time when friends decide to leave the Yukon.  This is the case for dear Richard and Brenda, so Terry had the gang over for the last supper.  Driving to Lake Laberge was exciting.  We drove through sun (sunglasses on), huge dark threatening clouds (sunglasses off), rain (now my clean car is once again dirty!!!!) and hail (luckily not the size of golf balls but did cover the highway in white and bounce merrily off my windshield).  There is still lots of ice on the lake and the creek, as you can see from behind Roger, Terry and Iris above, is way way down (not currently Deep Creek) - we think the snow has not yet melted off the mountains yet.

So both Richard and Brenda are retiring and heading down to little Britain - Victoria, B.C.  I'll bet they'll miss the long winters and -40 degree temperatures!  Even Terry is making plans to head to the island.  Soon I'll know more people on the island than in the Yukon!

But we hardy ones will stick it out for a bit longer and only think of the positive - long summer days with lots and lots of time for eating, drinking and hanging with friends.
