Hoyer Pics: March 2016

http://hoyers.blogspot.com/2016_03_01_archive.html

Follow us in our life and travels . Thursday, March 24, 2016. On a cold day last week, Mike Court and I headed off to Lynn Valley Suspension Bridge. Everyone seems to gravitate to the other suspension bridge, which costs $39 to see. But the locals assured us that this one is smaller but better. We were not disappointed. Posted by Colleen and Mike Hoyer. Wednesday, March 16, 2016. As a family,we met Mike Court, from Scotland, on the train to Churchill, in 1998. We've kept in touch ever since, meeting ...

Follow us in our life and travels . Thursday, December 29, 2016. The Year of the Slipper. Guess what everyone was getting this Christmas? Yes, those are slippers to the right. Under Gillian and Matthews tree, were a pile of gifts we were not anticipating. We stayed nearby at Craigmyle B&B, a place with lots of space to spread out, lounge about, make our own meals. We were surprised it was so full. So many people, like us, who came over to see family, families with so little space. Here we are in Milford ...

Hoyer Pics: November 2016

Follow us in our life and travels . Tuesday, November 22, 2016. Canada Sports Hall of Fame. Watching the inductees into Canada’s sports Hall of Fame (in Calgary) last week, I was struck by the passion and enjoyment each person was having. Life was indeed a blessing; sport was the avenue to pursue it. Healthy bodies were a blessing. I managed to play football for a year or two, as a member of the Roxboro Alouettes. We had a great team, but lost the championship. And we had lots of fun. One year, after hea...

Hoyer Pics: June 2016

Follow us in our life and travels . Tuesday, June 28, 2016. Devon Island, 50 years on. This story appeared in "Canadian Boy" 1968. Exactly 50 years ago this week, I went to the Arctic for the first of many trips, including an overwinter in '72-'73. I've always wanted to go back. As the story says, "Once you are hooked on the Arctic.". It was my first flight ever, in a Nordair Super Constellation followed by a single engine Beaver, both seen above. As a 16 year old, this was Heaven! Unlike the world we li...

Hoyer Pics: September 2016

Follow us in our life and travels . Sunday, September 25, 2016. While you were sleeping…. on the first day of spring in Zambia, we met with 500. Beneficiaries to go over the new program of telephone payments instead of providing a food allotment. For a 10 am meeting, this picture was taken a half-hour before we started. And we started early. It was a hot day. But we managed to achieve most of this in 75 minutes. We await the beans, oil and salt. Sunday night we will begin on-loading onto smaller truc...

Hoyer Pics: July 2016

http://hoyers.blogspot.com/2016_07_01_archive.html

Follow us in our life and travels . Thursday, July 28, 2016. When Ken and Allison were here, knowing their love for birding I checked the website of Nature Vancouver. There, being no trips, I did notice a trip in mid-July to go up to Mount Church, in the shadows of Mt. Baker, just across the border in Washington State. We can see it from our living room, daily, so it piqued my interest. We found a flat spot, beside a field of ice. The heavens opened. We quickly gobbled up our lunches, and decided...Six d...

Hoyer Pics: August 2016

http://hoyers.blogspot.com/2016_08_01_archive.html

Follow us in our life and travels . Sunday, August 28, 2016. After two nights of flying, plus a day flight and a 2 hour drive, we have landed in Mwandi in Zambia. Still a bit jet lagged, but we do want to share a bit about the project. Weekly, we aim to add instalments with a more "personal" touch. These photos are all taken near our 'home base.'. The country is home to lions, zebras, elephants, hippos, hundreds of bird species (including the fish eagle, Zambia's national symbol), and other diverse wildl...

Hoyer Pics: Remember when?

http://hoyers.blogspot.com/2017/01/remember-when.html

Follow us in our life and travels . Tuesday, January 10, 2017. This could be in front of our place with the train bridge in the background. We have had snow on the ground since we came home a month ago. Up till now we have had a bit of frazzle ice on the river, but not enough to skate on like you see here. Hockey was just getting organized in Canada. Posted by Colleen and Mike Hoyer. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Colleen and Mike Hoyer. Welcome to 'our' blog! View my complete profile.

Follow us in our life and travels . Friday, January 27, 2017. The Rest of the Montreal visit. It's been a long time since we lived in Montreal (1977) and a long time since we visited (maybe 2013). So wandering around the underground city was pretty impressive. The old Eaton's and Simpson's Stores, Place Ville Marie and the Cathedral Councouse were pretty alive with interesting stores and eateries. McGill University, where we spent five years - the outdoor rink, something we seldom see anymore. And we got...
