Down by the river

It's almost the end of winter as the ice starts to melt, the river flows more freely

and creatures come out of hibernation (see the ducks on the river)

Remembering a friend

One year ago I lost a dear friend to cancer, and since then I continue to remember Renée's kindness.  Over the years we enjoyed many outings, afternoon teas, lunches, dinners, birthdays together with her husband and friends.  Renée had a gift of welcoming others into her life as though they were family. Renée, I miss you and the joy that you brought into my life!
