Hilary 30


Mary went to visit Hilary and Shayd for a few days in Vancouver. It was Hilary's 30th birthday and Mary had made a collection of photos of Hilary from the past three decades....

A week ago I was sitting one day in shorts outside, and the next week it is snow and very cold again. That time of the year.....

On our way to Spring


It is still pretty cold outside, but we are on our way to Spring again later this month. Last week a fellow Rotary member, Fred, celebrated his 95th birthday. Fred joined the Welland Rotary in 1996, the same year that I joined. He volunteered to make the weekly club newsletter but had never used a computer yet. We offered him access to a computer and some instructions in the International Team of Niagara College. Fred is young of mind and spirit, and still in amazing good shape for his age.

Also in good shape is Opa Vandenboom at the age of 92. 

Hilary will celebrate her 30th birthday later this month, with her Mamma visiting Vancouver....
The two sons of my sister Hanneke, Patrick and Rutger, enjoy a vacation together in the Alps. They are both well in their forties. Yes, time flies....
