Just a few pics

Living the good life.....; plus Mary's new haircut after months of "neglect" during pandemic...

Flashback

Mark about 15-16 years back - always enjoying his Dad bringing soccer shirts to wear.....

Mark 26

Tonight we celebrated Mark's 26th birthday. Carly spoiled him with an Apple watch and we bought him some shirts, shorts & gear for his cycling venture to Timmins in August. We are starting to make the dinner together in this place on the beach near Hamilton an annual event (2nd time now...).

Mary and I arrived early to get our names on the waiting list and then we went for a walk along the beach where there was a reasonable amount of people on a July Wednesday evening (all decently socially distanced). Then a Corona during the wait for the table, Carly and Mark....

Birthdays

Susan (sister-in-law) has her 60th birthday today. Mary had some happy balloons delivered plus an amazingly beautiful cake. Mark will have his birthday next week (July 15) and partied yesterday with two friends from university who also have their birthdays this month...

And Opa Vandenboom is enjoying the beautiful summer days in the shade outside of his retirement home with others living there. Mary stops by every day (as does Susan) and I pass by regularly during my walks. We need to "keep the distance" during the ongoing pandemic, but so far so good.

Nice couples

Shayd and Hilary in Vancouver + Carly and Mark in Toronto

Good looking young adults

No words; just proud. Summer 2020 in the middle of the terrible COVID 19 pandemic. These two keep going strong.....
