Brooks first ride in a plane on the way to Toronto. Hilary bought some noise reducers for him which was a good idea. He seemed to be happy enough in the aircraft....
Hilary also bought some cool sunglasses for Brooks. His first visit to Fonthill.....
Mark helped out this weekend with the taking down of the old deck. Nasty job to do, but together it was very doable. Few pics of the phases of the process....
A bin full of the old wood and the new materials already waiting in the driveway. In the meantime Sue and Ralph continue their cycling tour in Holland past windmills, through the dunes and through forest areas. After the overnights in Delft, they stayed in Haarlem where Mary, Hilary and I lived two years (1993-1994) and where Mark was born in July 1994 (on the canal street called "Kampersingel"...
In this canal street we had for a while a small boat with an outboard engine. One sad evening they stole our engine out of the boat and that was the end of it. Hilary did love our boat rides as a one year old...
Also in Holland my niece Monique is getting ready to do the annual "Vierdaagse" which is walking four days of 40 kilometers each day. She has been doing this for the past 20 years (since she joined the Dutch military as a medic and did two stints with the UN peacekeeping forces in Kosovo).
