Electric rust

Happy Canada day

June lunch with Jen and Hailey

Not the best of the pics i took of my grandaughter Jennifer and great grandaughter Hailey but the only ones that survived. Somehow half of the pics were deleted. I knew i shouldn't be messing with them when i was tired but i did and now i know what not to do ever again!

Hailey gets a brand new box of crayons

maybe Haileys baby needs to eat a crayon?

Great grandma thinks i should play her Ipad slot game

Or a crossword puzzle?

But i'd rather colour

Don't bother me when i'm creating

Concentrating on my art

My masterpiece is done

Thinking of trying a lemon

Home James.........uh, mommy

Viva Las Vegas

At the entrance of the Mirage

Our room was about half way up and under the left side "The"

Great location as we could see the hourly volcano eruption yet far enough up to not be bothered by the sounds of it or the traffic on the strip

Enjoyed the casino glitz

The flowers in the lobby

Checking out the neighbourhood

The Venetian

The canal

On the overpass to Treasure Island

Bob wins some wild blue pennies

Riding the tram from Treasure Island back to the Mirage

Sun setting on the strip

Mirage reflections due to the blackened window glass causing distortions

McCarren airport @ 80º where we caught a ride with a woman pilot; a first for us!

This was the reason we didn't get off the ground at Bellingham, Wa airport in February. What a difference 2 months makes!

All in all a fun trip, great hotel with the BEST buffet and more than enough to see and do a mere fraction of what was available.

Thanks for the nice visit Jen and Hailey

New road continued - a whole new section is open

Near my street, just around the bend all of a sudden a new set of signal lights. I drove by the day before it was still in a mess with no hint of signal lights and the next day it's suddenly open. I was surprised and excited to see where it goes and what it looks like so some of my pics aren't great.

I live near the tower

Right now it's two way traffic but will be southbound this way with the other road being built above the other direction.

Here we are already rejoined the old road at the entrance to the Surrey/Fraser docks

We turned around and are driving back the same way....gotta see what it looks like both ways!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now we've rejoined the old River Road where this section started.

 

 

Can't wait until the whole thing is done now, I feel so proud of our road! We know more now seeing what a great job has been done after years of waiting for trucks and following a million big slow trucks and the detours! Its moving along and this road will affect our community in a very positive way.
