Pfälzer Wald

We came to Siegelbach to visit my parents two days ago. The weather is very pleasant fall weather and we took a nice walk in the woods today and are enjoying the time with family.

Birthday in Covid times

I am back in Vancouver for a week to see Sheila and help with her mother’s move. Today we celebrated my birthday on our balcony, well socially distanced from anybody. The weather continues to be very nice and we are enjoying the summer.

Vancouver

I am spending a few days in Vancouver with Sheila. The weather is warm and sunny, and the beaches are quite busy. Sheila’s mother is staying with us while her new apartment is being renovated. Last night we went out for a nice dinner at the Silvia Hotel around the corner from us.

Eltville

We are spending a few days in Germany and took my parents for an excursion to Eltville, a cute little town on the Rhine. I had organized this to spend time with Heidi, but she fell off a horse on Thursday and could not come. Bärbel and Siegbert joined us and we spent a nice evening with a good dinner and a quiet night in this medieval town.

Eltville has many houses from the middle ages

Breakfast before leaving again

Merry Christmas, Frohe Weihnachten

Christmas: Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift! (2 Cor 9:15)
Weihnachten: Gott aber sei Dank für seine unaussprechliche Gabe! (2 Kor 9:15)

We are very grateful for another good year with lots of time spent with family and friends in Canada, the Caribbean and Europe. We wish you all a joyful Christmas and a blessed year 2020.

Reinhard & Sheila

Manchester

I flew to London yesterday, went out with Andrea and today we came to Manchester to meet up with Sheila and Jessica and her family. We spent the afternoon in a museum, a Christmas market and a great family restaurant. Great fun!

Mallorca

We have arrived in Mallorca, Jessica and her family came, my parents and Sheila’s mother. It rains only on about 50 days a year here, but after two sunny days we are hitting a few of those days. The kids (and adults) nevertheless enjoy the warm weather and ocean. We also have access to a pool, great to sit at, have a drink and look at our WhatsApp messages.

Siegelbach

Wir sind auf dem Weg nach Mallorca und machen zwei Tage Pause in Siegelbach. Den sonnigen Nachmittag haben wir für einen Spaziergang genutzt.

Whistler

We came to Whistler to visit Bonnie and Andy. We took a little walk, came across droppings from a really big bear and spent a wonderful evening with family and friends.

Vancouver again

Sheila joined me on the boat for two days, but today we came back to Vancouver. It was a lot warmer here than on the water, and tonight we enjoyed an evening out with Lena, Kim and Bonnie.
