Welcome to Our Web Page
When this web page began more than twenty-five 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.

The Grace United choir and the bell ringers performing their final joint number
Today the Grace United choir performed a concert at the church for which they have been preparing for several months. It was called A Season to Sing and was "a choral re-imagining by Joanna Forbes L'Estrange of Vivaldi's Four Seasons". The concert also featured The Handbell Ringers and Singers from Lakeland Florida. I went along to watch as did several of our biking friends. After the concert we all went to Battery Park for beer and cider.
The World Cup started on Wednesday and David and I have been watching most of the games that have been offered on CTV (we don't get the cable channels that carry them all) including Canada's draw with Bosnia and Herzegovina that we dominated throughout. Ann is not as interested but she pops in to watch for a few minutes every now and then.
Other than that my time has been taken up mainly by biking and gardening. I was supposed to lead a ride for the Ramblers yesterday that circumnavigated the town of Debert on back roads. Ann and I rode it on Friday to make sure that there would be no surprises (there is construction everywhere these days) but, in the end, I had to cancel it because yesterday it was cold and wet. We have also been out with the Railers and the Roadents a couple of times and, last Saturday, we rode with the Ramblers from Maitland to Burntcoat Head.
My garden is finally all planted, quite late due to the cold weather at the end of May. We have also planted a rhododendron in the rock garden in corner of the back yard and a blue spruce to replace the maple tree that we had to take down a couple of years ago. In a few years it will break up the line of sight to our back yard neighbours.
