Sorry for the delay, I meant to post this as soon as we got back on the 3rd, but I was having some technical issues with my video editing program. I did some research & finally did the old standby, I deleted the program & re-installed it. 

Took a few photos of Mt. Baker on our way into Bellingham on the bus. 

So, we're back home at my husband's place in Sumas, I'll be back home in Mission on the 12th. 

As soon as Thanksgiving is over here in the US, I'll be starting my Christmas posts.
