FUZZY NEW NEIGHBOURS

I know, it has been WAY to long since I last blogged. The main reason is not too much is going on. We do leave tomorrow morning for Bocas Del Toro for a month. My sister Judy, along with Gerald and Marley will join us for a week. That is something I am looking forward to. Here are a few updates.

We also got the great news of the safe arrival of Laura and Reg's daughter Kiera. Congratulations you guys. We are so happy for you all. Kiera is just beautiful, perfect actually.

We went to immigration earlier this week to get another 60 day tourist visa extension and found out, after being in the office for an hour, that Canadians now get a 90 day tourist visa. That is great news. Getting an extension can be arduous and costly, so we feel very grateful for the change in the law.

Syd had an ear infection 2 weeks ago. She is doing great now but she didn't eat for 2 days, guess what? Her eczema cleared up completely! We are trying to determine which food is the cause. Wheat, milk or eggs. Still not too sure but we will keep you updated.

Now to address our fuzzy new neighbours. No, no more tarantulas. (Thank God) Two days ago we heard a loud cry. Low and behold we found two wee little kittens, and no they didn't lose their mittens but they did lose their mother. They were starving and shivering. Syd and Josh have had a great time caring for them. As of now, still no Mama, so we have found a new home for them. They are going to a family we are great friends with so we can see them once in a while. Their names are Buddy and Dude. Aren't they cute?

Syd, Josh, Dude and Buddy.

Half way through our trip. Time is going way too fast. We do feel grateful that we missed that cold spell in Calgary this week. Minus 43? Are you kidding? Well, off to clean the house before tomorrow. Until I blog again!
