We started the year with our annual trip to Toronto, to visit our life-long friends Angie and Jeff. Their cousin Howie, who has lived with them for years (though he originally intended to stay only six months!) generously always give up his basement apartment for us and moves upstairs to a spare bedroom. Son Daniel still lives at home, so Angie is surrounded by her “boys!” We love the city of Toronto – there is so much to do there, one of our favourite jaunts being a visit to the St. Lawrence Market. Move over Whole Foods and Wegman’s! Just an amazing array of fabulous foods, fruits and vegetables from all over the world, with languages to match!
On the way home we paid a visit to our sister in law, Darlene, who lives close to Clark’s Summit in Pennsylvania, (but it seems she lives miles from nowhere really) then on to friends Elizabeth and Hans in Croton on the Hudson in New York. Darlene’s son, Dickie and his wife and family had just moved from British Columbia to a nearby town, so we were happily able to pop in to see them also! Dickie serves a congregation in Ossening, NY and he and Anne raise their family of four in that quaint town.
Thanks, Barbara, for including us in your list - it is nice to keep in touch.
