100 Days until Croatia

Hello all,

Well, it's been 517 days since our last post.

1 year, 4 months and 29 days.

73 weeks.

12,408 hours.

744,480 minutes.

44,668,800 seconds.

Yep, it's been a while.

We arrived back in Whitehorse the first week of October 2011, only to find out our new condo wasn't ready. The developer pleasently told us it would be another month.

Renata, Eka, and I stayed with Mom & Dad for a full month, and we moved into our new place November 7th, 2011.

Soon after, the first snow.



The following spring, Easter came, and egg decorating with it.



After that, a quick drive to Lake Bennet in Carcross to enjoy the approaching spring.



Then it was time for Eka to head back home. We drove down to Vancouver, and stopped to make some new friends. Big Bison. :-)



Then the work started. We laid laminate flooring in the basement, and built our deck. Here are some before and after shots:




The fence went up a few weeks later, and a handfull of flowers get thrown in. Also made a little corner garden with an Amur Maple as the center piece.




Our friends Wayne and Susie from Winnipeg came up for a couple weeks, it was great touring them around Yukon.




Slowly, Fall sets in and I try to keep myself amused by:


Pickling Eggs !!





Building a diffuser for the DLSRs Renata and I use:




Planting a nice little spruce tree in another section of garden in our tiny little yard:







Walking through the woods on a dreary cloudy fall day, Renata makes an amazing capture:


"The Raven"



Winter came, and with that, our first chance to host a Family Christmas Dinner. Thirteen guests (wasn't unlucky at all) and more fun and laughter.




So, now it's the waiting game, 100 days and rolling until we are 'wheels up' and bound for Croatia again.

Take care everyone, Sretan Put (Good Journey)
