Homeward bound Marj and Mike, it has been wonderful following your adventures over the summer as well as enjoying the superb pictures.
Look forward to a visit when you return.
Beautiful flowers and country side! Hi Marj and Mike. I always feel a bit sad when you are leaving the Arctic because you do not have as much time in BC to write Marj and we lose touch a bit! Your pictures are just beautiful, every time, and they make me a bit home sick? But of course it will be nice for you both to be home for a while with your family and so I wish you both well and God Bless you both.
With love and hugs

bye bye Iqaluit pic Your last picture 'bye bye Iqaluit' made me so sad that the tears flooded out of my eyes. It must be so sad to leave such a breathtaking place. Now to leave there and enjoy the other side of Canada/Alaska.
See you soon!!!!!
ooo (these are hugs)

Enjoyed photos Dear Marj. We just got home from Scotland. If I click on the old Emails you sent while we were away, will we be able to send your old Entries? We are harvesting blackberries here now. Baerbel froze some fruit and veg from our garden while we were gone. She has been working at the daycare in Port Hardy since just before we came home. She is at Katie's for a few days now. We saw her here for 2 days before she went to Vancouver. We missed the hot weather here, but had a few nice days here before the rain. It was cool and wet in Scotland, with sunny periods most days. Love Barrie.
I didn't realize that Diana's grave was up there, I see why there is such a strong pull there...as well as the beauty of the land of course. it really is breathtaking there from what I see.
thank you for your comment Veronica, I am glad the boys are enjoying the blog too. Dad and I are going to be painting the cross once the mosquitoes are gone and I think I will trim the grasses back abit too! Take care. I love you. Mom
Lovely Pics The boys and I LOVE the pics mom. Thanks for sharing them. It is healing to see a picture of Diana's grave as well. Keep the pics and blog coming. We love it!
Nunavut Thank you for the lovely pictures, what a wonderful place to be during the summer, I love the scene and the walking trail,Its beautiful,
and everybody involvem
Thank you for the Blog!! I've been waiting for this to come, great pictures! I didn't realize 7000 people lived at Iqaluit. We have had some much needed rain since you left but now it's warmed up again. I'm still waiting to get some beds built in the greenhouse, I have some little plants out there waiting, should get done in the next week, it's all ready otherwise. 2 weeks ago last Sunday Wilbur came home with his right front paw all bitten bloody and swollen way up. His nails were all worn off. It was a trip to the vet's (an extra $100 for Sunday) and he had to be kept in for 2 weeks. He is still limping quite a bit, his paw was really badly bruised under the skin and sprained. The vet said the puncture wounds looked like another cat or maybe a raccoon. 3 weeks ago I hurt my back and it just got worse and worse until I was in agony and hobbling around. Janice finally told me to go and see Erika and get some Celebrex, it would clear up any inflammation. I'm on my second day and I can finally sneeze and cough without being in pain. I'm not hobbling around today but it is still sore. I haven't been to Mass yet since sometime in early May or late Apr. There's been too many birthdays, Mom Days, Dad days, renovations, injured cats and sore backs. I got behind in my weeding but I'm slowly catching up the last couple of days. The strawberries are great and there are edible podded peas ready, not the other ones yet. Everything is doing much better since we had some rain, the garden didn't really like that 90 deg. temp. in May. I'm glad you had good flights, it must like coming home again to be staying in Iqaluit again. Say hello to Michael for us and I'll be watching for the next blog entry.
Miss ya
Hi there, I am a looking forward to returning to Canada's eastern Arctic. I will be leaving B.C. west coast this Friday to spend the summer up in Iqaluit, Nunavut. My husband, son and I left Iqaluit in the mid 90's after having lived there for 10+ years. I have been spending the last two summers up in the Arctic, namely Cape Dorset but this year we are returning to our old home town. I am also looking forward to visiting old friends and enjoying the beautiful land that is north of 60.... full info
