  1. I love the pictures, my favorite being the one with Rye in one shoe. Too funny. Let's hope that the meat pies have no affiliation with meat pies from Sweeny Todd.

    Thanks for taking such good care of my big brother, looks like the three of you had a blast!

    Miss all three of you!!

  2. Hi Quentin and RIley! We've never met but I am Quentin's Mom's cousin, Dianne. In one of our emails a while ago, Donna mentioned your blog site and I have been following your amazing adventures ever since.

    You're exploring places I've never even heard of. Talk about a once-in-a-lifetime experience! Metallica brings back memories of our first Westphalia (first husband Doug Mitchell). I thought I had died and gone to heaven in that thing after sleeping in a two-man tent in the backwoods for three years. It's a HoJo on wheels for sure.

    Well, I'll say hello and good-bye for now. Please be safe, but enjoy yourselves to the max...look forward to the next installation.

    Best wishes

    Dianne

  3. ove the pics! It was so good to see you on Skype last weekend, it was nice to have the family all together ;-). The party was a success, I'm glad you guys were on Skype so we could all tell her together. Your mom said it took three days for her to recover. Jarod is gone outdoor camping this weekend (CRAZY) with Geoff, it's -20 ish here. He should be home this afternoon and will spend the next week thawing himself. Anyway, love seeing the pictures, can't wait to see more. Miss you!
