GISE and FRITZ's house in CANADA

Gise's house was a lovely spot to stop.

"First things first," said Gise, "everybody jump in the pool." from whence, with no cameras, we watched the incredible Canadian sunset.
Then fresh salad and herbs and cauliflower and rice and wine and beer and water for dinner.

Brian and Irma and family were weak-willed and stayed inside in the living-room.

The view we awoke to:

that's our van in the background behind the truck

morning bread baking

everything was beautiful and handmade and delicious.

Fritz had a lot of work to do, and Michael and Hanh were also pretty busy, but Gise took the time to show us around the farm, and Fritz even took a break from work and gave Henry a ride in the tractor, that he got to steer "himself." Theodore was just not-shy enough to step into the tractor.

At the farm, Gise only found x-small and xx-large eggs. The small ones all had little tiny yolks. The large ones all were double yoked.

Note the difference. :)

We had them for dinner outside while the children played on the lawn until they were tired out. How wonderful.
