Toner Reunion

Paul and his siblings got together in July. His sisters had rented a cottage in Cap Pele for a week and we managed to all get together for a day.

It had been 6 years since they were all together.

Pool side

We bought a heater for the pool.

Now there is more pool time.
Charles swims with a life jacket and is very independent.
When time allows Emma is teaching him to swim.

Iceberg at Cape Spear, Nfld. (the most easterln point of Canada)

 This video of a drone flying through this iceberg at Cape Spear, Nfld, was on the CBC site today.

What a beautiful site.

Friends Travelling Across North America

A college friend of Paul's, Dave, his wife Nancy and his mother-in-law, stopped in over night on the first night of their 5 month North American cross country trip.

They are traveling in a beautiful camper, the Rollin' retreat, and plan to re-visit in October on their way home.

It was so great to visit with them.

Boys Enjoyed the Outdoors this Weekend

Tree Cutting on Saturday

 Before. 

We had 2 large maples whose trunks were splitting. After our winter ice storm and the proximity to Gerry's garage it was time they came down. 

 One down.

 Two down.

 After.

 Some of the wood from one tree.

 Wood from both maples and also some birch we had too close to the power lines.

There will be far less shade in the backyard this summer...if we get any sun!!!!
