Family haunts...

Lucy Maud Montgomery once wrote that a house never became a home until there had been a birth and a death there. I disagree. A house becomes a home as families live their lives together and build memories. This summer was a time of renewing relationships with many family members close and extended, filling our house with memories. Likewise, special places visited become a cherished memory as the moment is shared with special people. We will never forget vacationing with our two youngest making wisecracks from the back seat. J's #1 and #2, wish you could have been with us!

The overdue promised picture!

Finally, at last, I have time to post the promised photo of our bike ride in Nassau. It was fabulous and recommended for anyone who visits there. We avoided bike peddlars until we exited the customs building. Close to the street we found someone peddling bike rentals. This time we covered the western half of the island. The water was an incredible crystal blue offset by white sands. I recommend getting one of the more expensive bikes as ours broke down in the middle of the island. Fortunately I travel with an expert mechanical technician as spouse!

Family news

Once again we are empty nesters, this came home after I had to downsize the milk in my grocery cart today. We had a fun filled two hectic days in the GTA visiting Niagara Falls and Toronto's CN tower before sending the youngest off to England. He arrived safely and is preparing to head to Mattersey Hall for the end of September. Jo is back at Redeemer....eight months until graduation!!! You go girl!
