Happy Birthday to Douglas H and Douglas B Devolin

I'd like to offer a big Happy Birthday to my father and brother. Dad's birthday is today (Feb 2) and Brent's was last week (Jan 26). I wish each of you a great day. I know you're both in Collingwood this week enjoying the slopes (with mom and Laurie too). I hope the snow is good, the fire is warm, and the beer is cold.

​As anyone who's travelled extensively or lived far away from home knows, it's missing days like these that trigger severe homesickness. We all missed family and friends at Thanksgiving and Christmas, and this week, we feel like we're missing the annual Devolin family ski trip. Molly and George would gladly trade the Aussie beaches for a few days on the Canadian slopes.

​My life seems to be an endless series of going-aways and coming-homes. I love touring the world and seeing new places, but I also value the fact that I have a place to call home in Haliburton. Looking forward to seeing everyone again soon. Love from all of us.

    Ever since my first trip to Greece in 1978, travel has been my passion and extravagance. My year in the Netherlands as a Rotary Exchange Student in 1979/80 only fueled this obsession. As I've gotten older, I've become less concerned with "seeing the sights" and more interested in observing, experiencing and absorbing the way people live today.

    From my perspective, the primary objective of these Devolin Adventures is to introduce the world to our children, George and Molly.
