We have been in Portugal since February 1. Specifically, we are back in Carvoeiro in the Algarve. We are both well and enjoying the change of scenery. We are not doing quite as much walking as in previous years, partly beacause I hurt my shoulder playing tennis and trying to recapture the serve that I had 20 years ago. Ended up using the Portuguese hospital system and in pain for about a month.
We have lots of friends here. Our next door neighbours Bob and Delores have been in Carvoeiro for the past few days. Several other folk from New Hamburg have visited (Gary and Sandy, Gerry and Marlene, Eric and Kate, Paul and Sue, Jan and Martha, Jan, Ellen and Frank, Wayne and Grace - all from Stonecroft.) We are missing Cindy and Don.
This year we stayed for 10 weeks (same as 2023) and have booked for a similar period of time next year.

This website is where I maintain my genealogy files, some historical photographic archives, and personal photo albums. The blog is a loose collection of things that amuse me, music I like, and notes about our travels.
- Stilllight - photo albums
- Family History - genealogy files.
- Fairground - my historical photo archives.
- PhotoBooks - links to photo books that I have produced. They can be downloaded for Kindle, IOS or as a PDF.
- Home Movies - some home movie clips of my family from the 1940s-1960s.
- Record Photos - old family photos, organized by year and family.
Clicking on the thumbnail of an image will pop up a lightbox. Clicking outside the popped up image will close the lightbox. Hovering over the left or right of the image will show "previous" or "next" button. Good luck.
