We had another good year with downhill skiing (with our season passes), golfing with friends, dinners and concerts, sausage making, relaxing soaks in our new hot tub and a few forays on the motorbike. And we celebrated our 35th anniversary. It was another dry year but very few forest fires.
We finally took a (twice-postponed) trip to Portugal (great roads and old posadas) and London (pubs, museums and opera), and a delightful week in Winnipeg (great food, architecture, museums and galleries). Mizuho went to Japan for the first time in 3 years and had a joyful reunion with her mother, sister and all things Japanese. Click on photos to enlarge.
After patiently waiting some 30+ years, Mizuho finally has a new dining table (made from the entry door of the local MEC store). Also completed some drawers in the closet and the closet door, a hanger for the guitars, a bunch of landscaping and made some progress on the long-awaited bedroom door (another recycled door from the MEC store). The garden was bountiful and we have a freezer full of organic beef and lamb we purchased from neighbours.
Hope all is well with you and yours and that we have a chance to see each other somewhere sometime in 2023.
