The Bees and Butterflies are Back
….so nice seeing more and more but we’re not out the woods yet
Over the last few years scientists have been quite worried over the disappearance of bees and butterflies. This year they seem to have returned to our gardens.

One Final Get Together and Kite Flying With Opa
…..the family all came together to spend the day Brendan and Azadeh
Last Saturday was the day that my son and daughter-in-law were flying back to London, England. The flight wasn’t until the evening so our son’s wish was to spend his last day in Canada with his parents, sisters, brother-in-law, niece and Opa.
We spent the morning shopping for and organizing the food. We prepared ribs, done two different ways, an Italian bread salad and bowtie pasta with homemade pesto sauce. 
Winnie and Uncle Brendan mixing together the bread salad. It was yummy.
After our feast Opa wanted to show off his kite so the whole gang, minus my husband, made their way to the park down the street. Everyone had to take a turn flying the kite until the last person landed it in a tree. Fortunately we were able to rescue the pink beauty. Now Dad is talking about buying another kite, bigger and better than the one he has so that we can both go out together and each have our own kite. Hmmm!!!
