Quoting Michael Loo to Nancy Backus <=-

Swisher and Weller
have had various reasons for not showing.
maybe they don't care for the idea of leaving paradise.

One paradise had to be evacuated because of an approaching forest
fire threat. (It was ultimately saved.)

Title: Paradise Valley Saskatoon Pie
: Paradise Valley Market Garden,
: Hay River, NWT.

I have a niece and nephew living on an acreage in that particular
Paradise Valley not far from the market garden farm. Their place is
on the banks of the Hay River about five miles outside of the town of
Hay River and quite wild and pristine but they still have
electricity and a paved road. There are bald eagles nesting in a
tree between the house and the river. A lovely spot.
