So April and May were a couple of difficult months this year. Mom and dad had their world turned upside down but have both managed to come out smiling. Yesterday mom was finally released from the nursing home where she had been recovering from her surgery in April. She is now temporarily living with my sister Pat and her husband Dave until a double room is available at Leisure Living. Dad has settled into his new home there but is still anxiously waiting for mom to join him. Everyone will be together for the celebration of mom's 80th birthday on June 20th. Our cousin Rob is even flying in from BC to join us, can't wait to see him too!
Back here in New Brunswick it has also been a busy couple of months. Billy was recognized by the Town of St. George for all his hard work and dedication to keeping the town clean. He received a nice certificate which he is very proud of. Both Brit and Billy finished up another year of Special Olympic bowling and are now planning their summer vacations. We have numerous visitors coming this summer during the months of July and August which is always so much fun and the highlight of my summer. Also stuffed into our summer is a trip to Newfoundland for George and I, a week of camp for Billy, Melody and George, a weekend stay in the treehouses in Miramichi for Billy and a vacation for Britni, destination still undetermined.
Kristie and Brooke are both doing well here and I'm so thankful to have them close. We have so many laughs together. Brooke has registered for school in April 2016 for makeup and nails so I'm sure Kristie and I will get to be her guinea pigs.
Now it's time to get my bags packed. Paul and I will be arriving in Hagersville June 19th and then heading back here on the 26th. Brooke and her friend Brandon are driving up and bringing Billy and Melody with them. I expect it will be a fun filled week spending time visiting Brad, Brittany and all my grandbabies, family and friends. So shine up the marble board dad....see you soon!!!
