And then there was Wazza - what a guy eh!  His arrival made Bets very very happy, and us as well.  We had a great time together, and got to know Waz quite well.  We went to Jasper with the four of us on a little holiday, so that he could see some of the beauty of Alberta!  Here the two lovebirds are way up high!!!!! 

Our dear sister (in-law) sure seems to be enjoying herself.  Well, we definately enjoyed her and Leen.  Was so beautiful to enjoy them together! 

Lots of marshmellow sticks on that fire - and lots of s'mores!!! 

The Lord provided glorious weather for the barbeque, and we so much enjoyed each other and all the food.  The children had LOADS of fun! 

Tracy and Paul and sons as well as Heres and Frieda came for a weekend - and so we had a family barbeque with the Breukelman clan - thankful to our Heavenly Father, who made all this possible.  Even Vince, who camped with us for the summer to earn money to pay for his university studies, was thrilled with all the family bonding.  Oh, we have so very much to be thankful for! 

More company - Trui en Leen came from Holland for a visit, more great company - what a wonderful time we had altogether.  Here we are on the prairies, on the way back from Coaldale to Neerlandia.  WOW! 

We're back - just sorry it took so long!!!!!

First of all - we had the wonderful privilege of having Henri and Dwayne and girlies over for a holiday (work Dwayne?) for 6 weeks.  We are so thankful that we could spend precious time with them.  Had a beautiful time!!!!!

Ontario - such a beautiful place

One of the scenes of Niagara on the Lake - a stunning view! 

Posing at Niagara Falls, it was a cool day - but we were with excellant company! 

A view of the American Falls from the Canadian side - incredible! 

The falls - so amazing that the water continually rushes over - the Almighty power of our Lord - who created both heaven and earth!!!!!
The beautiful couple whom we stayed at while in Ontario - they made our sojourn so enjoyable - thanks once again for putting up with us, unforgettable!!!!! 

A view of the falls at night - as you can tell, I am not a photographer, but.....enjoy 

Aren't these folks gorgeous - Freek's former boss and his wife - heartwarming!!! 

We were invited to Hille's and John's for a hot lunch in the company of great friends.  We enjoyed both the food and the fellowship with great folks.  

 

Owen Sound, Ontario

 A Beautiful Couple that we met!!!!


















Uh.....John - this is my family
I'm kindof embarrassed, but ja, what does a lady do?  Hide in the backseat?
The next picture (I cannot get this printing to work beside the picture....so to make it easier for myself, I will just write the story all at once) is of the stunning and beautiful scenery of Owen Sound.  Then there are the glorious falls, another of God's incredible creations.  And last but not least - my handsome brother and his beautiful wife.........and cold yours truly in the centre (in case you didn't know me)
We had a wonderful time in Owen Sound..........thanks once again for your hospitality.........we enjoyed it immensely!!!!!!!!!

To Florida with Friends

A fort we visited in St. Augustine, restored to its' original state, made completely out of rock.  Was very interesting. 

An original canon which was used to defend the fort and town. 

One of the outside walls - there was also a moat around the fort. 

Standing in front of the Amish Wal-Mart, they call it.  The buggies and horses are parked outside - was so very interesting. 

This is an Amish buggy, because it has a grey top.   This was in Lancaster County, the largest Amish community.  If you are interested, check it out on the internet - recommended reading, really.   

A young boy handling these 5 horses infront of a manure tank with steel wheels. 

 

Having a deep conversation in Gettysburg, Penn. where the deciding battle of the civil war was fought.  Great museums containing much history. 

My love posing with Mr. Abraham Lincoln.  Which is the most handsome? 

Beautiful welcome centres when entering each state. 

Our Trip to Florida

 Just thought I would add some pictures of our trip to Florida with G.&T. Swaving, we had a wonderful holiday.  I couldn't add all the pictures, but this will give you an idea of how great our holiday was.  Here we are, the romantic couple, posing on a beach near Palmeto, Florida. 

 A view from one of our boat tours, reminds us so much of Australia.

 Relaxing or what!!! 

 God's creation - stunning!

 The beautiful couple who we holidayed with!  Thanks guys!

 An orange tree full of fruit - in an orchard.

 Fields and fields full of strawberries - looking delicious!

 It took the three dutchmen to put together a small barbeque - the pork chops we had afterwards were worth the work.

This is NOT our transportation, but it was worth posing for.

Together - felt sooooo good!!

Posing with our beautiful daughter from down under!!!!!!!!!  Thanks so much Eric for lending her to us for a few weeks.
