Beurt Vereijken and family visit Wilno

I wasn't able to go to the farm to visit with Beurt and Dianne and their family but they stopped in Wilno on their way to Ottawa so I had a chance to visit with them here. They look like they are having a good trip in Canada.
Here I am with Beurt and Dianne.

Oma and Opa enjoy all the activity. Opa can drive his car again now that winter is almost over so they are able to get around a little more on their own.

We had a big feast of Bami goreng to celebrate Oma's vierjaardag and also Joanne's and Donna's which are also on April 6 and April 7.

Here is Donna (Bert's wife) and Candace (Kirk's girlfriend) and little Carter.
We have spent a lot of time at the farm this winter on Sunday afternoons. We have dinners and sit around and chat and make the usual amount of Zomers noise!!

Here's Oma and Opa in their new apartment at Fairfields in Eganville. They say it's a bit boring but it's warm and not a bad place to spend the winter.
