Our Last Trip

September 21, 2007.

It is already a month ago that I entered our blog with some of our happenings. We seem always too busy to find time but I will try again.
Last week we went to Southern Ontario. Our first stop was Caledonia; south of Hamilton. There we stopped at John and Corrie De Groot. I believe the year was 1951. I had gone to Church in Hamilton where we lived at that time . On entering the bus going home, a young couple also entered the same bus, and noticing they were speaking Dutch I began a conversation with them and invited them home for coffee. Since then we became good friends. Their house is located on land that is claimed by the Indians.
Provincial Park. That Later in the late afternoon we continued our trip to Jarvis and visited David and Stephanie and we had a lovely dinner with them. The next day we continued our trip and went to Thamesville We had a good time there. They grow lots of red, yellow, and orange peppers in their greenhouses. The following day we visited Diny and Trudy who were camping in the Pinery. That evening we went all for dinner in Grand Bend. Next day we went back home; stopped by Uncle Sjabbe. All in all we had a good trip.

Our visit to Steve and Katrina

Last Friday Mom and I traveled to Steve and Katrina It was beautiful weather and we had a very good trip. First we stopped at Uncle auke and aunt Addy and heard most of their family news. We then went to Barrie and made supper in our own trailer. The trailer had been used by John and his family at Balsam Lake and the following week by Steve and Katrina. We then visited with Steve and Katrina and Naomi and the new baby Petra Marie. We slept overnight in the trailer and on Saturday we first made some more family visit. First to Uncle Bob and aunt Marie and then to Uncle Leon and aunt Annie. We tried uncle Jim and Sjabbe but they were not home. We the went back to Stevin and we had pizza brought in. Mr. and mrs Triemstra, great oma van Gilst, grandpa and grandma Van Gilst, great opa and oma Geertsema and opa and oma Geertsema were all there and we had a good time. On sunday we had the privilege of witnessing the baptism of Petra. Beautiful service and we were glad to the Lord that we could b e there. We went home in the afternoon and of course tired but glad we could make that trip Tanya set up the blog for us. So I will give you the address and maybe you will make a bookmark it.

Welcome!

We have just created our blog and hope to use it to send news to all our friends and family. See you soon!
