Ross's 60th

Neil and Monica White (deceased) would be delighted to know that their eldest son Ross Leslie White celebrated his 60th birthday on 13 February and is having the time of his life.

Below are photo's of Ross's first birthday dinner at the lovely home of Jacqueline and John Wilt. We had a great night and Jacqueline had gone to a lot of trouble decorating their home with banners such as 'Over the Hill' and presented Ross with a ribbon which he is wearing stating that he is now officially 'old'. I made the cake.

After a great Chinese dinner Jacqueline and John introduced us to Rummoli, a card game which Ross understood and I was hopeless however, we had a fun time with lots of laughter which is always good therapy.


Then it was onto the next party which Ross shared with George our great neighbour, who also celebrates his birthday this month. The party was a great opportunity to try some new recipes. Below is a photo of Ross and our friends.

This birthday cake was made by Kathy and it was delicious.

The Beaver Dam folks had a great time with lots of fun and laughter so a great big thank you to everyone who contributed to ensuring Ross had a great 60th.

Until next time stay happy, safe and well.

Love Bev, Ross and Murphy

Bar Harbor, Maine

We have been on our travels once again and recently took the opportunity to spend a few days in Bar Harbor, Maine, USA. Bar Harbor is about a 4 hour drive from Fredericton and even though it is still winter over here any chance we get to travel we just get up and go.

As you will see from the photos below there are some magnificant homes in Bar Harbor most of which are fortunate enough to have a sea view.

The photo below is of the Bar Harbor Waterfront building which has parkland surrounding it with great views of the waterways.

We took advantage of the sunny weather and travelled around the area and it was interesting to see up close the fishing huts and to see families our for the day. In the Green hut below Mum and daughter were sitting comfortably inside the hut while dad and son were about to have fun in their skidoos riding over the frozen lake.

We stayed for 3 nights in Bar Harbor and our accommodation was at a cottage called Far Niente which you can see in the photo below. This was a lovely cottage all fully contained and to see more of what this cottage had to offer please click onto http://www.far-niente.com/index.htm

Far Niente is owned by John Kurgan and his lovely wife Holly Duane who have lived in Bar Harbor for the last 7 years and were very friendly and made us so welcome. John and Hollly are musicians and on the Saturday evening we had dinner together at one of the many good resturants in this location. We had the most enjoyable evening and we are planning to return to this lovely area in September when all the trees will be wrapped in Fall colours.

Until next update stay happy, safe and well.

Love Bev, Ross and Murphy
