Yep, still here.<\/p>\n

Four weeks ago we left to go on a family vacation, west to Montana and Alberta. It was a good trip …<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I got a little work done while we drove through South Dakota. (Yes, those are new designs.)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We zipped passed the Badlands.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And soon we were seeing glimpses of the Rockies.<\/p>\n

So beautiful.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And those clouds were full of snow – I know I drove through it!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\u00a0 \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We did a little relaxing, we did a little hiking.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The weather was cool, even had snow over the next ridge,<\/p>\n

\u00a0\"\"\u00a0 <\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

but the spring wildflowers were bright and beautiful.<\/p>\n

After a week of play in Montana we drove north to Alberta.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

for my Dad’s 85th birthday party.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And here we are – Dad and his eight surviving children (eight of ten).<\/p>\n

(A big thank you to my niece, Rachel for her beautiful family shots. Wingtips Photography<\/a>)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And the larger clan: \u00a0Dad, children, grandchildren, great grandchildren and spouses.<\/p>\n

It was such a rare treat to be all together.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Great grandchildren got to climb trees and get to know each other.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We cooked together, we ate together and we cleaned up together<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And we relaxed and visited and played – in\u00a0my “home and native land!”<\/p>\n

And then we headed south again…for a few days with my children and grandchildren<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We stopped to play at Writing on Stone Provincial Park in Alberta.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\u00a0 \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We, 9 adults and 10 children ages 2-8, climbed Mount Helena<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It was a warmer day \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\u00a0 \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We hiked, we played in the woods –<\/p>\n

and what could be better than playing in a mountain stream with all of your cousins!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It was so good to hang out together.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Me and my girls.<\/p>\n

We all had so much fun –<\/p>\n

until I got a virus, which turned into pneumonia. We had several more days of activities planned, but needless to say, I was not involved. We drove home slowly – I slept and slept and slept. It was good to get home.<\/p>\n

And this is why my two week blogging break became three and then four weeks… but I am happy to say I am catching my breath, recovering my voice and napping less each day.<\/p>\n

Despite pneumonia, it was a special vacation\u00a0–<\/p>\n

\u00a0\"\"\u00a0<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

a wonderful time with people I love dearly in the most beautiful place.<\/p>\n

Next week I hope to report on my time with the West Tennessee Basket Guild. I have two more events in June – I’ll tell you all about them – and then it is time for me to slow down. My goal is to get my event travel down to 6- 8 times a year. The plan is\u00a0more time to blog and weave, more time with family and more down time.<\/p>\n

thanks for reading the Basket Teacher<\/p>\n
