For 16 years now , i am the proud owner of a little bonsai tree, its a Japanese Hornbeam, and its 66 years old.  For the last 9 years, it has lived on the boat, and goes every where with us. We want to go into Alaska, but , i dont think its possible to bring the tree along, and losing it would be heartbreaking.  So, i went to talk to the owner of Cowpuccino’s, a wonderful coffee shop here in Prince Rupert, we went there almost every day, and i like the atmosphere in there, and the owner seems like a very nice guy.  So, i approached him to ask if he would consider taking care of the bonsai, just for 3 weeks, and he said;”No problem”!!! i am so grateful, and i know it will be ok there. Thank you Judson, i hope i spelled your name right, thanks to you we get to go into Alaska!!!! See you in 3 weeks!!!!
