A Visit With Aunt Marion

Yesterday just before I picked my mother up to take her to see her sister, Marion, I spotted this butterfly on my porch, so I just had to snap a picture of the lovely creature!
It is so rare that a butterfly favors us with a visit in the city!

We were surprised to see that Aunt Marion had company.

Two of her little great grandsons were there to brighten up her day a little.

Here Gramma Horton rocks her great grandchild and I think the little guy is quite enjoying the attention!

Mom and Aunt Marion are looking at old pictures and telling me which ones they want me to scan and print out for them, while the baby looks on.

There are certainly a lot of pictures!

Aunt Marion gave Mom a nice bouquet of carnations.

They are very pretty but not as pretty as my mother!

This young man is one of three grandchildren of Aunt Marion's, who is a soldier.

I put the Canadian flag up for Aunt Marion as this Monday is Victoria Day.

The picture in Aunt Marion's lap is one that was taken of one of her grandsons who was in Afghanistan.

He was fortunate to be picked to stand beside our former Prime Minister Chretien, who was over visiting the troops.

THIS picture makes me laugh!

Every Saturday morning that we go to MacDonald's, Bernie orders two senior coffees and one burnt English muffin.

The poor kids almost set the kitchen on fire every time Bernie comes in and the smoke doesn't clear for an hour!

In Bernie's own words, "This is a work of art!!"

Bernie reads "Wheels" every week but there is no way that I want to ever give up my little red car, so I tell him that he better be satisfied to just window shop!!

End of story!

Safe Trip Home Princess!

Well Ron...I am finally sending Princess home to Georgia, home to her daddy!
I was going to send her, like I told you on Monday but she wanted to be in a family picture at Gramma and Grampa Golden's on Sunday.
I have just now developed the picture and will stuff it into her suitcase.
Please know that I have also packed her fresh carrot sticks and a few golden delicious apples but I am afraid that they will be confiscated at the border as they do not allow veggies or fruits over to the States from Canada!
Just be prepared to feed her when she arrives home tomorrow morning.
She will be travelling by herself because Sioux Sue's kids had to leave yesterday,
It was all they could stand, because they wanted to get home for the anniversary cake before their dad Raf ate it all up!!
Princess has paid our cell phone bill in full so you can just tell that Judge Judy that she can go fly a kite!!
Let me know that the princess has arrived safely and don't believe any wild stories she has about how mean we were to her,
If you ask me, she is just spoiled rotten, but I guess you aren't asking me, eh?......From your Canadian friends, Bernie, Terry and Shopper...
