Memories | 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,

…yesterday I went to a huge amusement park north of the city with our granddaughter, Winnie and her parents

I think the last time I went to Canada’s Wonderland was over 40 years ago when the kids were very young. I remember loving the water rides and I went on two of them and was absolutely soaked after the Timberwolf Falls ride. Of course I didn’t bring a change of clothes so I walked around in a very wet shirt and cotton pants. Luckily it was a very warm and sunny day.

Over the years the place has been built up and there are many water features, gardens and fountains that are new to me.
