This is the section of the bike path that was built on abandoned railroad lines. The Huitema family donated some money for the buildiing of this wonderful bike path in memory of their parents.

Isabel, Aukje and Marianne started on the beautiful bike path in Granby but before too long the seat of Marianne's bike needed raising and a kind gentleman assisted us (actually he did it) and we were soon on our way again.

Hup Holland Hup!

What an exciting world cup thus far...be sure to be watching Sunday at 3:00 (edt) for Holland vs Portugal.

Skype and An Inconvenient Truth

There's a free internet phone program called Skype. You need a microphone and speaker for the computer or a headset system. I know my housemate prefers the little headset system. With Skype, you can call other people running Skype for free, anywhere in the world. If you have or install Skype and want to talk to me, e-mail me and I will give you my username.

Also, if you are running the program Skype, you can call any phone in North America for free. So I can run Skype, and call my parent's home phone and talk for free and they don't need to be using Skype. This will only be available for the rest of the year (but Skype to Skype calls will still work after that for free).

Finally, I just saw the movie An Inconvenient Truth which was really good and very educational.

New Blogger

Just signed on this "blog" deal...no pictures just yet, just a quick hello. Oh, and happy birthday to all those with b-days in May (or any month past) i've missed...there's just so many!

I just had to try this "easier" method of posting pictures and so I thought I would share this photo of my spring bulbs in bloom.

An easy way to add pictures

Hello,

Blogger has made some changes to adding posts to a blog and now there is an easy way to add pictures. You don't need to use the 'hello' program anymore, you just add the picture when you are composing your post. The add picture icon is right next to the spell check button (check ABC) and you just follow the instructions.

Meeting of some of the cousins.

Easter Sunday at Donna and Johnny's. Maaike and Jericho enjoying the beautiful weather that day.

Spring Skiing in Vancouver

This picture is from Grouse mountain, on a nice spring day you get a fantastic view of the city and you can even see Mount Baker (not in the picture though). Spring skiing is nice but it does get a little slushy.

Bert and I have made it home and the cold spell we are having here is quite a difference for us. This photo was taken in a courtyard in Rio Grande City where we had gone for lunch with some friends.
