Hilary 31

Hilary turns 31 today. Time flies, as they say. Back from a few months in New Zealand, Hilary and Shayd are happy to be back in their North Vancouver condo with Poncho.

And in Holland a few days ago, Sascha (my sister's middle child), turned 50 (meeting Sarah). Ger en Bert had their three kids (Monique 52, Sascha 50 and Berrie 48), their partners and their nine grandkids all together last Sunday at the house of Sascha and Joost in Zutphen (see my posts of oct/nov).
 

Poncho back in Vancouver

Hilary is back from her three months in New Zealand and came to Fonthill to pick up her dog Poncho who had stayed with us during that period. A big wet kiss was what I got from Poncho at goodbye.....

Still playing regular games of Rummikub with Opa Vandenboom, but he is hard to beat because he is lucky to always draw the jokers (or "joker pieten" as he calls them). He is still very much with it...

March updates

Our visitor Poncho has been with us for three months and he was an easy guest (slept most of the time). His boss Hilary got back in Vancouver on Friday from her stay "down under" and right away rushed back to Fonthill to hug her little four-legged. Hilary works on-line, so also here this week in her old home. She is also busy preparing for a bachelorette party coming weekend with her dear school friend Taurie (wedding in August).

 

Wils has been busy trying to fix up the old CRV (while his parents, brothers and Carly & Mark went out west to ski a few days). I worked again on an old puzzle from my brother-in-law Bert, which I brought with me after my recent visit to Holland...

Cleaning up some more old stuff, I found this toy car with the old/original MSF logo. And also a beer cup from 1978 made for the 5-year "lustrum" of our social student organization at the Delft University...
