Another year and our boys continue to

makes us proud and happy. Growing up is

not always easy, but it seems that we

have been blessed!

Scott Palmer is in the process of

graduating, a Bachelor of Arts in Geography

out of UNBC in Prince George while Laura

continues there in Environmental Sciences

They are very avid trekkers and spent part

of the summer tracking bears for one of

Scott’s courses. They are proud parents of

Keira (aka Snowdingo) and Grisome!

Tor is also in the process of graduating, a

Bachelor of Commerce at UBC. He is

planning to head to UC Berkeley to work on

his PHD in Applied Economics. His part time

job working at one of the prestigious wine

shops in Vancouver has turned him into a

real connissieur.

Stefano and his partner, Caitlyn live in

Yaletown, one of downtown Vancouver’s

trendy areas. Stefano will have an interview

in February for acceptance into UBC Med

school as he finishes up his Bachelor of

Science at SFU. Caitlyn works fulltime for

the Bruce Allen Agency and continues part

time at SFU.

XMAS 2010 we will be together with the

boys, their girlfriends and Caitlyn’s father

and brother, Silver Tip and Travis, riding

and gliding at Troll Mountain near Quesnel,

a great family mountain I took the BC Team

to in 1983. Wow! How the time flies.

Palmer gets some luvin from his Aunties!

family time. Life is too short to miss any of it and we are all guilty of already

missing too much. Promise yourself and your loved ones that today will be

different and tomorrow, even better. Give them a hug, tell them how much

you love them and how proud you are of them! Make a difference, TODAY!

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take

but by the moments that take our breath away!

RT personal project continues to

be the “ACORN 15” which will be

launched in April in the coming

year. Special thanks to my spiritual

leader, Murray, who has a real love

for working with wood and all the

tools to get the job done.

It was a busy year at Warm Springs Ranch in 2010. A wet spring convinced us to get the gravel on the road and 400 cubic yards later and lots of raking, got her done. New to the Ranch is the “Outback”, a 480 sq. foot metal building which will be our workshed and storage. Special thanks to Chris Delich, who built the foundation forms and thanks to Scott-Palmer, Tor (and his team of Allan and Jack), Stefane, Caitlyn and our key man, Silver Tip for all their time and efforts. Plans for 2011 include power and water as we continue to move forward with our plans to build. Looking for a great family get away, visit:www.ruthlakelodge.com.

WARM SPRINGS RANCH UPDATE

decided to take a trip to Maui. As a young girl, my parents took our family to the Islands. I was extremely happy it didn’t disappoint, beautiful just as I remembered. In the spring, Robin and I went to the Ranch for ten days where we spent some “r and r” spreading gravel. Robin assures me I won’t remember the pain I endured, shoveling ¾ of a mile of rock! He seems to think this is lethargic. I know I earned my stove I want tee-hee. In August I lost my Father “Bud” to cancer. I regret he never got

to see the Ranch he would have loved it.

2010 flew by in what seemed like a blink of an eye. Up at the Ranch, days blend into seamless peace, whether it’s out on the water or on the property raking, cutting or constructing. I really

do feel at home there. I continue to mow fairways at Morgan Creek and help the BLE with their marketing and website. Life continues to challenge us but we learn how to make the best

out of it and keep taking steps forward. Success has always meant much to me; but I now know that family means the most. Warm Springs Ranch is all about family and it is wonderful that all

three of our boys are sharing the same dream and passion for it. We hope that you too can one day enjoy it’s peace, beauty and tranquility. PEACE to you and your loved ones! rgt
