May 13th we went to granddaughter Mercedes home and visited with her. It was great to see her!! She looks so happy and is doing so well.

Don

May 12th moved trailer to daughter Randee's property. Don has been busy doing chores around the place. On the 12th he installed new kitchen sink faucet and water lines so she could have a working kitchen sink, on the 13th he plumbed in a outside water faucet. Today he plans on fixing a leak from the shower that is creating puddle under the trailer. So he can't say he has nothing to do.

Made it! They piloted us through the fire area with the fire burning on both sides of the highway. We are in Fort Nelson for the night,

I am posting pictures of the fire just out of Fort St John/ The pictures are not the best because there was no stopping allowed so shooting was done through dirty windshield.
