Ashley and Brent's wedding, with sons Benson, Jaxson and Hunter
Lily and Michael
one of Lily's best girl friends, Ashley and Jaxson
it was perfect weather for an outdoor wedding
this summer Joe and I worked for 3 different couples, updating their homes to put on the
market … one of the couples had me back to paint the children's new bedrooms …
the children got to pick out their own colours … it was fun to finally paint with
vibrant colours
the damage to Lily's car … while she was shopping in Home Depot, a guy in a big truck, turned too sharp and ripped off the front bumper … and one week before in another parking lot,
a lady backed into the rear of Lily's car and damaged that also…
we are lucky in both cases that it was not a hit and run … both parties paid for
the damage to be fixed
Mikes new car
this summer we had a rabbit in our back yard, just eating the clover,
the last time we saw him he was already changing colour in preparation for winter
Rob on Free Spirit came for a visit, along with Mardi … Mardi lives in Hope Town, Abaco
and Rob spends his winters on his boat in the Abacoes, and he keeps his boat at AYS, the same
yard that we keep Modaki in Green Turtle Cay, Bahamas
Bert and Karen on Almost Heaven, brought their Power Boat to Owen Sound … we first met
in the Abacoes last winter … now they are motoring it back to the Bahamas and we
hope to meet up with them again (no pictures )
Lily and I had a great visit with niece Sara …
and her children Niall
and Lydia
Bill and Lauren, on Sea Star came for a quick visit by land … their boat is in
Puerto Rico, and it survived Hurricane Irma
(they have since launched and are continuing down the chain of islands in
the Carribbean and will end up in Grenada this winter)
Joe enjoying the nice weather and BBQ a large amount of fresh veggies
our good land friends Jody and Val
this is one of the largest tents we have been in, it is home to
Sydenham Sportsmen's Salmon Spectacular,
