Welcome to Our Web Page
When this web page began more than twenty years ago, it described most of the activities of our whole family. Now that most of our children have flown the coop, it is mostly about what Ann and I (Dave) have been up to. I update it most weekends. We save all the messages over the past year in an Archive along with links to what we were doing ten and twenty years ago.
You can click on the pictures above to get a bit more information about each of us.

The Ramblers at Pilot's Pub

Halifax Burger Bash started on Wednesday. It is an annual event in which restaurants all over town add a gourmet hamburger to their menu a portion of the proceeds from which goes to Feed Nova Scotia. On Friday evening, we ordered three take-out Tapri-Jack burgers from Tilted Tap Bar & Grill near the old bridge.
The first Rambler ride of the season is next Saturday but, at our last meeting, the Executive decided that it would be a good idea to have a pre-season gathering so everyone could say hello after emerging from hibernation. That means that next week we can get down to riding right away instead of socializing endlessly at the beginning of the ride. The gathering was at lunchtime yesterday at Pilot's Pub near the Woodside Ferry Terminal. There was an excellent turn-out of about 55 Ramblers. Ann and I rode our bikes down.
Though we've had our fair share of rain and snow over the past week (none of the snow lasting more than a few hours, thankfully), we've also managed to get out on our bikes. I have tried out my new e-bike on our hilly loop through Dartmouth and Cole Harbour twice. The extra power certainly makes going up the steeper and longer hills much more pleasant but it's also a nice bike to ride without any power at all. Ann came with me on one of the rides and we stopped at Cottage Café on the way back.
