PJ and Nicole at the Cottage


Willy getting the 'swing around'





Willy looking for shade at the Toits Bleus flea market - little did he know that he was soon to acquire a new brother.


Signing the adoption papers ...



And here he is - Frito - all 4 lbs. of him.


Happy Hour on the deck!

Lunch with Tante Aline and Cousin Mario


Tante Aline is my mother's younger sister - she's in her eighties, still drives her car and is very young at heart. I think she looks terrific!

Sheree at the Cottage


Sheree's favourite thing about the cottage was the fishing dock!

Toronto Zoo




Who would have thought we would run into Greg Jorssen and his family at the Toronto Zoo!


My personal favourite - the giraffe


Very large hippo


Nice lion pair


Mountain goats


Rare white leopard


White rhino


Coral garden


How pretty is that?



Petting the manta rays

Happy Birthday Anna!






We celebrated Anna's big 60th with her 'big' family!

Happy Birthday Nicole


Make a wish ...


Oh - a WII!


Stan - the horse - went into retirement this season. PJ did a photobook highlighting his partnership with Nicole - needless to say a bit of an emotional moment.

Farm Projects



Backfilling after putting down the water and sewer pipes for the new apartment.





The much-appreciated (by the horses) new loafing barn in the big paddock.

The Kittens have grown!

We arrived at the farm on May 31st for quite a long stay East this year dividing our time between the farm in Ontario and the cottage in Quebec.

John and Donna's Visit to the West Coast


In Butchart Gardens


In Chemainus



John is Sheree's godfather - they arranged to meet in Nanaimo when John and Donna were visiting John's daughter on the Island.




On Granville Island

Back In Santa Cruz

We left Mexico on the 13th of March and arrived in Santa Cruz on the 16th, in time for Christine to show us the ropes before leaving on the 18th to join Kenny in Vietnam. From there, they are heading to Cambodia and Laos. They will be back home on April 7th and we're planning to leave for home on the 9th after celebrating Christine's birthday on the 8th with them.
