Everest picturres

Here are my sons, Alec and Terre on the plane on the way to Nepal, and then a picture of Terre and Nathalie, and then here are all of Terre's pictures: http://picasaweb.google.ca/irbahtan/Nepal#.
I am glad that everyone is back and excited about the adventure.

planting the garden

I went home for the weekend. A friend came with me and we planted the potager. It was so good to be working with someone. So here is where the sugar snap peas are planted with sticks to support the coming plants. Some kale came through the winter so I am letting it go to seed.

And here is a video from the Everest camp:

trek

They reached their goal - the Everest Base Camp. In the gang are two sons and a daughter-in-law, ma belle fille. Now which is which: Alec is the second from the left in the second row. Terre is second from the right in the second row and Nathalie is in the pink in front of him. And now they are making their way down.

climbing downhill

Here are the intrepid beginning their trek.

leaving for Everest

Here they are leaving Montreal for Everest. I took it from their blog at: www.makeawishfaisunvoeu.blogspot.com. One son and a daughter-in-law are in the photo. The other son caught up with them in London. I much prefer "belle fille" to "daughter-in-law". Some things are so much better in French.
