Angie's Exhibit "pieced together" Art and heritage in 3 photo quilts
They are beautiful!

This one had pictures of people in a patern, Guests of the show were all trying to find themselves. Here Gwen and Eric are looking.

There they are! and Marc too.
The holes look like stitches but are pin holes with light shining through.

I would like to study it for a few more hours, these pictures don't do it Justice

Flashing lights

There was a fire at the neighbours (O&E).

The lights are from the emergency vehicles

Curling

Marc, Julia, Tristan and William are learning how to curl, and having lots of fun

Quinton was also in Marc's team.

Pool

On Tuesday mornings I try to go aquasizing in Elmira with Cor Annette & Gwen

It's a boring swimming pool but better then the one in Listowel.

Yesterday we made more Almond cakes

Mooving

We moved the oldest heifers to the free stall barn.

shower

Betty & Claudia had a baby shower for Maria. We even had "beschuit met muisjes" a dutch specialty served to visitors when a baby is born.

Steven when he was 1 day old

Missing heater

These modes of transportation look cold in the winter, some are even "out in the open". Lots of fresh air!

Sagging

We hadn't taken the trampoline in for the winter (yet)

Marc is shoveling snow off so the sun can see some black and melt some more

Early morning fog at -12C

look alike

Wilma + Moria

Almond flavoured cakes anyone?

first real snow

Rien cleaned off the disc, so we have internet again.

conection problems

Natural Fertilizer

We started with dry wheather but we kept going in the rain because the forcast is snow.

Operation Christmas Child

Today I talked at Marc's school about the shoebox program.

The kids all know about it and lots of their families participate.

Tire change

Rien is putting on snow tires. As you can see washing our vann is not a priority, we do live on the gravel.

Wedding flowers

Story Hour and Coffee break are totally independant about what the Bible story is for that day. Today we found out that we both celebrated a wedding in Cana.
Betty is great in the nursery.

Rememberance day

At Marc's school there was an assembly. The grade 7 and 8 sang and did all the speaking. The singing was done really well. They were good to understand and it was a beautiful song: "do unto others....."

To bad there weren't many parents.

At the end the kids put their poppy on the wall.

Marc wore a poppy that he got last year. In May we came back from the Netherlands and veterans joined us. Some talked very enthusiastic with Marc but this guy (Charles Smith) said "never become a soldier, son"

Turning the soil

Rien has only 30 acres (12 ha) to plow this year.

keep the beat

We had kids (with their parents) come for Coffee. They had a great time playing Marc's drums together.

Bumpy ride

Marc had a PA day (no school) on Friday and spent the whole day with Trevor going back and forth to the field with the manure spreader. They rained out at four in the afternoon.

slipping and sliding

Can you believe it? I forgot my camera. We went curling with about 40 women who'd rarely or (most) had never been curling before. Most fell while trying to push this curling stone to the other side of the rink. We had great fun. We'd seen those people on TV sweep in front of the stone so we did too if it needed it or not.
