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

A farm between Berwick and Kentville
On Thursday, Ann and I went to Neptune to see How the Other Half Loves, a British farce that I saw in 1970 in London while visiting relatives with my mother; that production starred the British character actor Robert Morley. I had forgotten most of it other than the set which has two different flats, and their occupants, occupying the same space. We enjoyed Neptune's version: it was funny despite the very dated depiction of gender roles. Beforehand we had dinner at Lou Pécou's Pizzeria with Kim, Glen, Ingrid and Mike.
We got out riding twice this week. On Wednesday, we joined the regular Roadents ride from Enfield to Monte Vista followed by coffee at Tim's in Enfield. Yesterday, we rode from Kentville to Berwick on the trail then back on Brooklyn Rd. The weather forecast called for clouds followed by bright sunshine, so we were surprised and a bit unprepared for the rain that soaked us. In Berwick, we took shelter in Tim's instead of the planned picnic in Centennial Park. We thought it was finally clearing up as we left but we got rained on again on the way back to Kentville. Even so, it was an enjoyable ride with the leaves at their most colourful.
Much of the rest of the time I have been gardening, trying to get things ready for winter and next spring: bulbs have been dug up and replanted with new ones added, lime has been strewn, black earth and compost added, and weeds have been pulled. I was going to plant next year's garlic when I heard our local gardening expert on the radio saying that it should wait for a couple of weeks, so I have deferred it for now.
