Pinky in Alheim Heinebach, Germany – March 2020

Hello ,
here is Pinky again. We made a little tour to knights castle Tannenburg with new (used) car. There was a lot to see and we have had a tasty meal (wild boar stew)
I don't know when I will have my next adventure. Here is a lot closed because of Covid 19. But I think we will find something to show you.
A big hug from me and posthexe and stay healthy !

Ivan and Masha in Canada - Summer outings - August 2020

Image
Ivan and Masha were able to join their host on several nice outings in August: One nice Friday evening, after work, the host decided to take Masha and Ivan on a pizza picnic at the park. First, they went to Pizza Pizza, a fast food chain, to buy and small pizza, a can of Coke and a small bag of chips, and then they headed to the Domaine Fairview to eat quietly in nature while reading a magazine. The next day, the host took Ivan and Masha to a free concert in a local park by a classical music group that plays Tango Nuevo (mainly music composed by Astor Piazzola).  Afterwards, they went and toured the outdoors Recycl'Art exhibition, by the side of Brewery Creek.

The little bits with color are aquarium rocks. This i

He died of cancer shortly after but a run kno
