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!

Tribute to Grandpop

A former marine and engineer

Grandpop recently passed away peacefully, 

in his sleep, at 78 years of age.

He stayed with us on three occasions,

loved sitting at the kitchen table and talking.

Grandpop had a sharp mind;

and though he was not so steady on his feet, 

Grandpop could fix anything from nothing with his hands.

Rest In Peace Grandpop!

Ice flows washed up on the shoreline of the St. Lawrence

It's hard believe there are still ice flows that are several feet thick, along the shoreline of the St. Lawrence River.  They float in and out with the tides and will probably be gone in a week or so.

4 years old!
