Funeral

 

We went to the funeral for John Reinders it was like a reunion. Coleen played the piano, we talked quite a bit with her husband, we’ve been to Israel and Turkey with them

Last Sunday on our way to Brantford we saw many horse and buggies. Some big some small, most closed but some open. There are 4 in this picture

It’s a Dutch thing to celebrate 12 1/2 year anniversary 

Glad we could celebrate
