Welcome to Our Web Page
When this web page began more than twenty years ago, it described most of the activities of our whole family. Now that most of our children have flown the coop, it is mostly about what Ann and I (Dave) have been up to. I update it most weekends. We save all the messages over the past year in an Archive along with links to what we were doing ten and twenty years ago.
You can click on the pictures above to get a bit more information about each of us.

Doing our bit for national unity
We went skating twice this week, outside at the Oval on Tuesday afternoon and inside at the RBC Centre on Thursday. We also spent a very nice day skiing at Martock on Wednesday. The weather was perfect — sunny and just below zero — and we ran into our biking buddies Erika and Robert on the hill. Ann went for a free lesson offered to members of the Ski Atlantic Seniors Club that we belong to. They also put on a special lunch that day and Ann and I both won door prizes.
The weather took a turn for the worse on Thursday with snow followed by freezing rain and high winds. That caused a birthday party for Mike to be postponed by a week. We have something similar as I write this; they were predicting 25 to 30 cms of snow but it looks as if we won't have nearly that much and it will mostly be rain.
Yesterday Ann spent the afternoon playing Mahjong at the place in Bedford where Marilyn stays when she comes to town. I stayed at home and finished the jig-saw puzzle that I have been working on (a painting of the Three Sisters, mountains near Canmore, Alberta, that I was given for Christmas).
We also both spent some time on our volunteer activities, Ann hosting the church Truth and Reconciliation Committee on Monday evening and working at the food bank on Tuesday, and me going to a meeting of the Ramblers Executive and working on the ride schedule for the summer.
