George's Jubilee

We all gathered in Halifax last weekend to celebrate my brother George's 50 years as a Jesuit. I well remember in 1957, I was 16 and he was 20, we all went down to the train station to see him off to his new life as a Jesuit. Of course, our Mum and Dad couldn't be with us this time but Jane and Fred and I were there to congratulate him and wish him well. The place was brimming over with relatives and good friends. People had come from all over Canada. We are so very proud of him.

Lobster Land

In Paris McDonalds has wine on the menu; in Nova Scotia, it's lobster. Daniel and I had to try it. The locals were scathing but we enjoyed it. I also had lobster with my sister and her family in Moncton. It was more authentic and it did taste better. I love seafood and the Maritime Provinces excel.

My new boyfriend

Hey Big Boy, you're my kind of guy

Now I'm all wore out

I think Darcy is jealous

4TH OF JULY

We all went over to Darcy's for a pool party and to celebrate Daniel's birthday. It was a beautiful day, the water was warm, the wine was cold and the food was great.


This is a picture of skinny Marisa. I was going to be clever with Photoshop and replace her head with my head but somehow I didn't think anyone would be fooled!


Southern California living at its best.

Sometimes stuff that goes in has to come out. That's when I wave for the spit cloth.




When I sleep, I remind myself of Dad.

Grandmas and Auntie

Sometimes they let us hold her. It's called spreading the love around.

It's picture time

Daniel and Michelle are wonderful parents. Here they are loving their little baby.

It Never Rains in California

Here I am in Los Angeles. My passport came through at the 11th hour and I was able to make the flight on Monday. Olivia is an absolute doll. She's gorgeous and beautiful and wonderful. Her parents are amazing. They are naturals. She is a lucky little girl. Pictures later.

It is extremely hot here. My menopausal self is really suffering. I had to go out and buy sandals and shorts. That means getting a pedicure which I will do on Saturday. Tomorrow is my birthday. We are having a small party here at Daniel's tomorrow evening.
