Belated Birthday

During my period of non-posting, Jenny's birthday came and went. To celebrate, we went to the local Indian restaurant with a few friends and spent the evening visiting. Her actual birthday was on a Sunday, so we mostly took it easy. We spent part of the afternoon at the lookout on Grey Mountain and enjoyed the view of the Yukon River valley and surrounding mountains. We can get to the lookout in under a half hour, and once you are there, it does not feel like there is a city anywhere close to you.

And what better way to stay young than by playing with Lego on your birthday?

That night, we made a few plastic pets for the aquarium so that we have something to watch while we wait for Popeye (my turtle) to come up from Edmonton in June.

Our birthday present theme this year was Yukon art, so I bought this mountain scene for Jenny. Stephanie Ryan is another popular Yukon painter known for her stylized landscapes depicting Yukon life. Most of her work is available as prints of water colour paintings, so when I walked into Yukon Artists At Work (YAAW) and saw this original acrylic, I knew that it wouldn't be available for long. And it wasn't, because now it hangs in our living room.
