happy 18th birthday Trent

Garret has the next birthday in July

Kate

 

Trent turns 18 and poor boy has concussion but didn't stop him from supper out

with the family, off to Classic Burger in Dieppe.  First time there for any of us and

they treated the birthday boy to his supper.

 

We then went back to the house for Cake but Sue and I were good and had WW lemon

squares, made with no sugar jello, 1 cup boiling water and 1 container of cottage cheese

put into blender and blend till well mix, usually I leave on a few minutes. each square counts

as 2 points. 

 

Came home and Garret went on to lacrosse practice and Trent had a few friends over for

the evening.

Maika's Lemonade stand

Happy weekend all,

well its been a busy week but we all knew we had to be on board for Maika's Lemonade stand today.

First of all let me explain where this all started.....Maika told her family that she really wanted to do something nice for the children at the hospital, she wanted to give to the Ronald MacDonald house
and have a lemonade stand to raise money.  Her parents thought it was a wonderful idea so they helped this little 5 year old with invitations on facebook, a live video of Maika and everyone fell
in love with this little Angel.

It started raining this morning but they didn't give up, plans went ahead and the cars started coming,
e transfers were sent by people who could not make it and people came from around the neighbourhood.

Lemonade, Ice Tea, and cookies and hot dogs at noon for 1 hr..........Maika's goal was to make $500.00 and she far exceeded that......A donation of toys go to the hospital and a cash donation with the rest will be made this week.  Maika will be a big sister very soon........she is one sweet girl..

The last picture you see is of my two grandsons who played field lacrosse last night against the teams
in Saint John, Saint John won both games but it was not without effort as they had a few missing players and one being the goalie and our grandson Trent took a hit and was out of the game with a
concussion.  He did not get to go to PEI today on bus like the other players did for 2 more games.

The game is on

Hi everyone, I know its not normally a day I blog but went to Fredericton with Susan, Garret and Kate for the lacrosse games.  It was a great couple of games winning 1 and losing 1 for the Royals.

Beautiful spot for the game with a walking track in Arena 2 above the rink.

Paula and Laurie dropped by to see us and see a bit of the game.  Great to see them.

Sunday

St John the Baptist Church

Robin's nest

The first picture is of the church Malcolm and I were married in 68 years ago in  August and
sadly it will be closing its doors in Saint John along with other very popular churches will be closed.

The second picture is of a Robins nest found in our neighbours baby barn yesterday, it was abandoned by the mother Robin and once the nest was disturbed she did not come back.  3 little blue
eggs were inside , we moved it to a nearby tree but don't think she will come back.

The Royal Wedding

It was 7:30 this morning when I turned the tv on waiting for the Royal wedding and seeing the
very special marriage of Harry and Meagan celebrated this day, like Matthew and Kate's wedding
I watched all day when home.

The little ones who came down the isle with the the bride did amazing, nice to see them taking part
especially Ben Malroney's children from Canada, and of course Charlotte and George.

I wonder how long it will be before the next Royal wedding.

Birthday girls do lunch

 

 

It was a great time at lunch with the girls, we went to Vito's, looking straight across from the
bank they all worked at with Malcolm.

We caught up on all the news of winter and of course our ailments etc...lol

I was smart and got weighed at weight watchers before lunch.  Attended the meeting in the evening
and it was a good meeting.

Mapleton Park

Well it was  a beautiful day for a walk on the Mapleton trail so off Kate and I went, got my 10,000 steps in for the day and that was good a day before weigh in.

On the trail we meet up with Santa, better known as the homeless fellow who loves to dress as Santa at Christmas time and walk up and down Main street.  Last year he had his Santa suit stolen in a bathroom downtown but a good samaratan came along with a new suit for santa and made his day  and his Christmas.
