October So Far….Dog Sitting, Concert at Massey Hall, Family Wedding and a Trip to Hamilton

Posted on October 12, 2024 by Mama Cormier

It’s been a busy month and we’re only 1/3 of the way through.

Our daughter and daughter-in-law took a trip to Berlin, Germany where Andrea participated in the Berlin Marathon. While they were away we dog sat, Olive. For a dog who doesn’t like to walk we got in quite a few long walks in the neighbourhood.

The day after Andrea and Josie returned from Germany we all went to my nephew’s wedding. My sister and her family travelled from Calgary to be here so it was a bit of a family reunion. Unfortunately our son in London and our daughter in New Brunswick couldn’t join us.

The wedding was beautiful and so much fun. Rose and Patrick were very happy.

Earlier in the week, before the wedding Kevin and I attended the Herbie Hancock concert at Massey Hall. Herbie is 84 years young but jumped on the stage like a 20 year old. What a fantastic concert.

On Friday, Oct. 11 we drove to Hamilton to attend a cross country race hosted by McMaster University. After the race we drove back to the area where our youngest daughter used to live and had a coffee at our favourite cafe. We lucked out and took in the Art Crawl,

Water, Water Everywhere – Pond and Fountain

Posted on October 7, 2024 by Mama Cormier

…yesterday we had the privilege of attending the outdoor wedding of our nephew and his beautiful bride

We were so pleased that the water that we did not experience was rain, especially since the forecast called for 60% rain. We arrived early to take part in the picture taking of the bride’s and groom’s family and as we watched the photographer do his magic with the happy couple you couldn’t help but notice the lovely pond and fountain on the property.

Day 3 for September Squares – Seven Family Members Including the Dog

Posted on September 3, 2024 by Mama Cormier

…thanks to Becky B for hosting September Seven Squares https://thesquaresofb.com/2024/09/03/seven-squares-3/

On this past weekend, my family living in Canada got together before everyone headed back home. Winnie is starting grade four at a new school in Moncton, NB and her mom Gaelan is continuing with her masters studies. Brendan, Andrea and Josie continue working from home and in person and Kevin and I are enjoying our retirement. Olive, A & J’s Frenchie, sleeps most of the day but brings us all a great deal of joy when we get together.
