Happy New Year

 

2019 was quite busy although there are fewer photos than usual.  The web site was down for nearly 2 months, then restored with a new look and feel.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Flying was a mixed bag this year.  Here is a photo from a rare mid- winter flight to Montreal.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also in mid-winter, Mumtaz visits Montreal, she meets Yasmin and has a great time with the nieces and nephew. Inaya seems to have missed this photo of Yasmin, Ayaan and Layla.

 

 

 

 

Eddie finally visits the Sun n’ Fun Airshow in Lakeland, Florida.  It was fun but nothing really matches the Oshkosh Air Show in late July.

 

 

 

 

This year, the Port Dalhousie Duck Race was cancelled due to high water levels in Lake Ontario, so we did the natural thing and drove to the Big Apple bakery on Highway 401.  Next year the Duck Race is cancelled due to construction.

 

 

A new tradition is an early Spring trip to the Lake Erie shore. This year we went to Sandhills Park.  The speck on the left near the top of the sand hill is Eddie.

 

 

Our late July trip was to Quebec City.  Always nostalgic since Eddie and Mumtaz met in Quebec City.  Andree and Jean hosted us for a fabulous evening.  We had such a good time that we didn’t think to take photos.  Mumtaz managed to catch the sun streaming through the breaks in the cloud as we fly over the north shore of the St. Lawrence River.

 

 

Cape Breton Island

 

Mike and Audrey host us in Halifax again, what a fabulous time we had.

 

Vacation Photos; this year a drive to Atlantic Canada via the U.S with stops in Concord, Saint John, Halifax, Cape Breton, Fredericton and Montreal.

 

 

Fredericton

 

 

Our grand plans for an off-year trip to Punxsutawney for Groundhog Day were cancelled, Sam broke her finger quite seriously; luckily her recovery is complete. Watch for news of Groundhog Day 2020.

We visited Felicia and Bob in Arlington, Virginia, next visit is coming very early in the New Year.

 

 

 

 

Naheed and Nadia are married in early November

 

Cindy visits from Calgary; she helps us with the design details of our home renovation which happened in November.  We are thrilled with the results

 

 

 

 

 

 

In September, Sam and Trevor travel to Prince Edward Island via a flight to Moncton.  They enjoyed the trip but had to batten down for a hurricane that hit PEI hard.
