this is the top of Whistler mountain - the site where the 2010 Olympics will be held. Bernie and Diane took us on a wonderful tour and we ate lunch at the top. Lily came up with us to spend a night. We are so excited for Bernie and Diane and wish them wonderful success and happiness in Whistler - oh and a great ski year too!

enjoying the ride

Waldo Lake is pretty much halfway between Bend and Dexter. So on Labor Day weekend we spent 3 days at the Lake. Renee was a wonderful chef and we enjoyed every meal. We had lunch picnics and dinners by the campfire. We spent the days walking, swimming and just being.
