50 years school reunion

Joan and I

Linda and I

Unfortunately I was not able to attend the 50 years reunion this weekend, but did get the opportunately to see some fellow classmates this week which was a nice surprise. 

Lynda was here from Alberta, Lynda travels home every year to attend the Reunions but this being
the 50th year made it more special.  Lynda dropped in for a visit on Wednesday on her way back to
Saint John from Nova Scotia visiting her family. I usually get to see Lynda every few years.

Then on Thursday I was so surprised to meet up with Joan Arseneau who I have not seen in 50 years,
she has not changed at all and that means Joan has aged well, very well.   Met her husband Don . They were in Moncton to pickup their daughter at Train station.  Her daughter has done tours with Mic Jaggard.  Joan brought me SOUVINERS from our old school.  They are going to try to facetime me from the villa on Saturday so I can see my classmates.

Mary Jayne

Myself, Mary Jayne and Sandra

On Friday we went down again to Saint John to see my Aunt and have lunch with these two very special people,
I have known Mary Jayne all my life and even though distance has kept us apart we still remain the best of friends.
Mary Jayne's sister in law Sandra Lowe joined us for lunch at Shadow Lawn in Rothesay on Friday.  We had a great time together and lots of laughs to share with Sandra of our southend days.

Hot day in the Maritimes

Mom loved these flowers, luppins........so when I seen a picture at St Mary's church steeple I had
to save for a memory of Mom and the Luppins. 

Very hot in Moncton, 33 people died in Quebec because of extreme heat... mainly living in high rises
with AC....... sad....

Off to Saint John tomorrow, wish it was to attend reunion but too big a crowd for me.  Got to see a few today who will be attending....stay tuned.

Happy Birthday Garret

A very good Canada Day at the Cormier's, got a little chilly but they brought out

the propane they use in fall and in no time it warmed up and the mosquito's left.

 

We had a nice variety of food but it was delicious.  Left by 9:30 to see the fireworks

 

A visit from Pat and Kim

                                           Could not resist this picture seeing as I weighed in today...lol



It was a nice day for Pat and Kim to visit from Miramichi, its been awhile since I seen Kim but
Pat dropped in on Sunday with another friend.  Always nice to see my friends arrive and enjoy a day
of shopping, lunch at a restaurant which today was Homestead and a little visit to a few of our local
stores . 

Girls filled the trunk, lol  no sense going home empty handed, lol 

I did go to WW this morning early, seem to be holding my own but hopefully the losing will start
again. 

Anyway that's it till more news to pass on........till then....

Cathy 1968

Mary Jayne 1968

Cathy wrote that she was headed to Moncton and knowing I could not attend the mass in Saint John the Baptist Church last Sunday wanted to bring me a  pewter ornament of our church we grew up in and married in.  I was so happy Cathy thought of me and the chance to see her again.

Its 50 years since Graduation but we have known each other since grade school and Mary Jayne a life time so being able to keep in touch with these gals and others especially through facebook has been a
blessing.  Unfortunately I cannot attend the reunion but I am going to Saint John to have lunch with
Mary Jayne for sure.  Cathy is attending her sons wedding here in Moncton that weekend but since her son is living here I hope to see more of Cathy in the years to come. 

Thanks so much Cathy....You never forget.


 

Graduation for Trent

The graduation was at the Casino, a great place for the grads and families to see their children graduate.  Susan was able to get tickets for the family to attend and friends came to her rescue for
extra tickets.

It was a long evening for the grads , 280 graduates... 2 valedictorians , 2 people got 120,000 bursaries  over 4 years.....many other scholarships given as well. 

Only one more grad for us to see graduate, Garret in 2 years time. 

Guest speaker was Cyril Lunney from CTV. Cyril graduated from Riverview High in the  80's .
He was an excellent speaker.

A visit to Saint John

 

 

Malcolm and I went to Saint John for a visit to his brothers, a visit from Tessa, Mal's great

niece and then over to see my aunt Marg.

 

Marg will be 91 in September and still in great health but after a few falls is now living

at "A moment in Time" care home.  It took some adjusting but I feel now she is getting use

to her new home but would love to be with her sister at Rocamora Nursing home but her

health is actually too good to go there.

 

Marg loves to see us arrive for a visit and I love to see my Mom's youngest sister who

always treated me like a daughter. 

 

The picture in the top is of the south end and the church is where Mal and I were married

48 years ago.  They are closing the church soon which is sad but I got a message from an

old friend I went through school with that she got me a pewter ornament of St John the Baptist

church and delivering it today.  I am so glad Cathy thought of us.  Also like to see her for a visit.

Its 50 years since we graduated  but we started in grade school together in grade 1.
