Our June Trip to Halifax and Evans Graduation |
Sunday, September 1, 2024 |
In June of this year Marie and I drove to Halifax. Although the purpose of our trip was so I could attend a meeting with the Chair of the Veterans Review and Appeal Board, we had the good fortune to have been able to attend Evans high school graduation. We were hosted by Karen and Eileen in Enfield and Marie organized a family get-together that Josie and her family were able to attend.

Heidi & Mia Singh - the only grandchildren I've ever known |
Wednesday, July 12, 2023 |
Since moving next door five years ago Mia, Heidi and their mother Cara have become an important part of our lives. They have adopted Marie and I as their grandparents. You can usually find them over at our house on most days and occasionally they are here for a sleepover and an early morning pancake breakfast. As you can see in these photos they bring us hours of joy.

Our Afternoon Family-Lunch at Kettles Restaurant |
Saturday, January 14, 2023 |
One cold and snowy afternoon.in January we decided to go out for a Sunday lunch. After a short discussion we agreed to try a local restaurant on highway six on the road to Chatsworth. We often noticed that this restaurant, “Kettles Back Home Cooking” which is commonly referred to simply as “Kettles”, always had a full parking lot every time we passed by on our way home from the GTA.

Our Many Family Christmas Dinners |
Sunday, December 25, 2022 |
This year we were fortunate to have three Christmas dinners. The first occurred early December in Ottawa when we visited Brian and Joanna in their new home. As you can see in the photo at the bottom of the page Brian prepared a 'Beer Chicken' for us where the chicken sat on a can of good Keith's beer. This was our first experience with 'Beer Chicken'. It was really delicious and the company was awesome.

Marie’s Grandsons Visit Us in Owen Sound |
Tuesday, July 12, 2016 |
We thought it would be a good idea to bring Marie's grandchildren to Owen Sound from Halifax. At the time Cameron was 13, Nolan was 11 and Evan had just turned 10. Before they came we gave them a list of five activities that we could do and ask them to choose two. Their challenge was to reach a consensus through discussion which we thought would be difficult for three brothers.

Our Big Family Reunions in Owen Sound |
Tuesday, August 23, 2016 |
In 2016 we lost the second cousin of my generation, Wayne Woyce. We lost Wayne's sister, Sharon several years ago. Wayne's unexpected death prompted me to gather the remaining cousins for a backyard Bar-B-Que in Owen Sound in June of that year. There are only seven of us left so with spouses it makes a manageable group. I also decided to invite Wayne's children, who also live in Owen Sound.
