"The Clarification"

Some have been wondering if Jenny was telling the truth about her ability to do flips on the trampoline... Well, exclusive to Blogspot I have uploaded a TOP SECRET video to show whether or not she is still capable of such manouvers.

Back to the Bay

Our visit "home" was loaded with family, seafood, ice cream and trips to the beach - all the things that east-coast vacations are made of. I rediscovered my childhood (and fading flexibility) on Ethan’s trampoline. But I can, with in-laws as my witnesses, still do flips, albeit with less gracefulness than earlier years. Jeff wasn’t too keen on the bouncing machine, so he and Ethan took a youthful spin on Dave’s 4-wheeler. We played frisbee on the beach with Jeff’s mom (who denies having ever played before despite her accurate passes) and hunted for smooth rocks on the beach (which Jeff’s mom will paint with Ethan). Betty even cooked us a turkey dinner! Boy, it’s great to be loved, eh?

Islands Apart

After our week at camp, we journeyed eastward. We spent a few restful days on Prince Edward Island with Jeff’s sister, her husband and our niece. It was lovely driving along the scenic country roads, with the distinctive red sand of the island, ocean views, potato fields, and lupins in bloom.

Jeff warned me early on that if we didn’t update our blog regularly, people would stop checking it. So after a month’s hiatus, I hope there remains a faithful few who still count us worthy of the mouse click and moments spent waiting for this page to load.

The first week of this month we spent at Camp Livingstone, near Montreal, where we worked 3 out of the past 4 summers. Jeff was the speaker for the chapel sessions and I was the “speaker’s wife”. Jeff did a great job, of course, and my noble position afforded me much time to catch up with old friends and enjoy the scenery. However, trying to squeeze into 6 days the fun campy activites that we usually spread over 7 weeks proved a challenge!
