Staying active

I can't believe how much I enjoy having gone back to playing tennis this spring and summer. I always felt that I did not want to do that because I would never be able anymore to play like I did during my teenager years (when I pretty much lived at our local tennis club in Holland between the ages of 14 to 17). But I am now over that mental hump and out there 3-4 times a week. So much fun (despite lots of protests from the old leg muscles....).
These months I go almost everywhere on my electric-assist bike. Finally caved in about wearing a helmet (maybe finally maturing at my old age?). Mary took this photo when I took off on a 40 km bike ride to have lunch at the house of a former colleague. Along the way so many nice spots to take a break and drink lots of water.

Hilary is also enjoying very nice places in beautiful British Columbia, here with her little Poncho (at the moment one of the favorite pics of her mother). 
Continuing the clean up in our basement and purging old stuff, I found this photo in an old University booklet of the house I lived for 6 years with 15 other students. One of them - Huub, in the photo left in the front row, then still with beard - recently visited us in Fonthill (see previous post).
