Congratulations to Nirupama and Adam who got engaged this past weekend. We were so

happy for them both when we answered the phone and heard the excitement in their voice...you

make a great couple, all the best to the future.  I sure know Mom and Dad for both of you are

extremely happy.

 

 

Downtown Moncton Christmas 2016....

 

One of my favorite Memories of 2010, like it was yesterday...the first snowfall and

Garret made us a snowman out on the patio.

 

Busy day today but I got more than half of my wrapping done.....planned on having

Paula Laurie and Pumpkin  down from Oromocto for our annual Christmas get together but

snow cancelled that. Trying for a get together next week.

 

Lost power for about a full 24 hours but thank goodness it finally came back on, those working

on saving the day for the 41,000 without power deserve a hand.....

 

  

Saint John....

Spend 2 days in Saint John and stayed at the Delta which was easy to get to hospital from.

I was down for the dye test on heart and very happy to say I have a very small blockage. not even

big enough to do anything about BUT still have a valve problem which a few more tests  need to

be done but hopefully an echo will show the same as the one in June and if so all is good...

We went out in mall and sat in Santa's seat, lol mall all set for telethon on weekend... many

people stopped to take pictures with children and a few adults too like ourselves. haha

On Thursday night our good friends Mary Jayne and Boyd Tucker took us to supper

at a very nice restaurant, we sat and enjoyed catching up .  Mary Jayne is my oldest friend since

we were little gals living on Germain St . That's awhile ago.... 

Saint John, King Street

Christmas time begins.....2016

Cousin Ed, his daughter Beth and Mac

It was great to have a visit from Ed and Beth (from Toronto) and catch up on old times

I felt like it was a few years ago since we seen Beth try 50 years for me. lol  Not long

ago at all.  lol

Christmas begins for 2016

Nothing starts the season off better than a visit from Pat to start Christmas shopping

and it was great having her here for 4 days......We shopped, we laughed we talked

and we ate.......good start to the season.

Of course a great start was to Wheatons,picked up a few things and got ideas too...

Amish Doll

 

Hello again, I know a few of you have been anxious to see my sweet Amish doll  after we

finally got to visit friends in Amherst, Gary and Liz were good enough to pick up for me while visiting

the Amish community in Pennsylvania on their way back from Myrtle Beach. 

 

On our way back from Amherst I noticed the sky and said "Oh I wish I had my camera"  then

seen the picture of the sky a friend posted and also a picture of the super moon... Today people

were watching the high tides and surfers hitting the waves.

 

We got some shopping done today and the crowds are starting. Anxious for my friend Pat to

come Saturday for a few days , we always have a good time. 

Rememberance Day

 

My grandfather Bannister on right

 

 

Never new my grandfather but know he fought for his country in world war 1. He was

a very proud soldier who never met his daughter Florence (my Mom) till he returned from

the war.

 

Above is the postcard he sent my grandmother on Mom's first birthday and I still have that

postcard even though its very hard to make out the writing on back.

 

 

 

My mother was buried on November 11th 2004.........

 

 

Trump for President

 

Well could not miss a blog today when the United States were making history which

can affect us as Canadian citizens as well. 

 

No, I wasn't totally surprised when I woke this morning to the news, the people want changes

and I am sure they will see lots over the next 4 years.

 

As for myself I am feeling much better these days , time to get some shopping done for

Christmas but I do have a start. 

 

Have a great day.....
