Another year is slipping by and so much has happened.
I had my final visit with my mom on Mother's day, she was in good spirits and happy. My friend Cindy Comeau traveled with me to Ontario for the week and mom commented how much she liked it that I brought my friends to see her too. She loves them all!! She had asked me to come visit while she was still well enough to enjoy it and that I shouldn't travel back for her funeral so that's what I did. She passed away on Saturday, June 25th quietly with Pat and Terry by her side. I miss her every day, our many chats every week when we always found something to laugh about. I think in her honour my goal in life will just be to continue to find the humor in life and to have as much fun with the people I love as possible.
While I was in Ontario with Cindy in May, she introduced me to a family acquaintance of hers, Eric Young. He took us out for supper at Yins in Waterford. I was really nervous about going with a virtual stranger but figured if Cindy knew him he must be on the up and up. We had a great time, lots of laughs and way too much food! Since that time he has been out here and I have been back to Ontario. I've enjoyed time hanging out with him driving around, visiting and laughing.
Being in Ontario twice this summer also allowed me to see my grand babies. They are growing so fast and it was great to spend time with them as well as Brad and Sam. Visits with great friends, Christi Patterson and Chrysann Markgraf were also part of the fun. Billy had a great time in Ontario as well.
As always though, it's good to be home again and am now just waiting for the tomato crops to be ready and I will be busy canning again. Hopefully in the next couple weeks so I can have my work done before Pat, Dave and Eric return in September.
I have to say I live a very blessed life. My girls living so close, great friends and neighbours, and the chance every day I wake up for a new adventure to begin. ❤️
