In Matty's backyard having a chat

The Aunties and Ash

Matty's 50th, July 1st

Hey Everyone, thought I would finally try and put the photos of Matty's party on the Blog - Matty, I know you don't like this photo, sorry! But it's the only one I have of you lookng at the camera!

Marijke showing off the results of her application of the tar on the foundation of her future home.

This picture was taken at the back of Marijke's little cabin.

This is Marijke's temporary home while her "real" house is being built.

This picture of our canoe and Brad's kayak was taken from the top of the Baron Canyon in Algonquin Park.

Bert with his canoe at Algonquin Park when he went interior camping/canoeing with some friends last week.

Isabel phoning home from Aukje's patio.

There were so many scenic babbling brooks that we lost count.

What a great bicycle ride on the second day. We went approx. 54 kilometers that day and 26 kilometers the day before.

Found the names.

Isabel and Aukje pointing to the Huitema name on the plaque.

This is the pavilion that houses the plaque with the Huitema name on it.

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.
