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.

Had a lovely day in Oromocto  attending Velma's 80th birthday party .  Lovely get together
with everyone.

After the party Paula took me to a craft store, one of my favorite things to do; and of course
I got a few things, even found something for her to buy for Laurie, lol..

After we returned to Paula and Laurie's for a lovely supper which I might add Laurie made and it
was delicious, corn chowder, Paula made my favorite diet dessert which she surprised me with and
I must add the guys liked it to.  Strawberry jello (no sugar) , 1 cup boiling water and a container of
cottage cheese , let set a few hours, serve with strawberries and a dab of whip cream. delicious.

A great day.

Susan wrote me a note when I got back that Lacrosse was exciting today. Garret in finals tomorrow at
Kaye arena so better get up and going in the morning.

Tim Hortons Camp for Kids

 

 

Yesterday I walked up to my doctors in the morning, it was a nice day so after I decided to

go to Tims and have a coffee and watch the children playing various games outside, it was

kids for camp day and the staff were busy entertaining the children as well as the adults

who came in to buy coffee and enter a few ballots for prizes.

 

there were 4 baskets , one for a child, a dog, a man and a woman.  I decided since it was

fathers day I would go for the mens.  For some reason I really felt I might win.  I asked the

girl when they were drawing and she said after closing tonight but we will call you in the morning.

I thought that was strange that she would call me, lol  but figured Yes maybe you will.

 

This morning I went on to cardiac Rehab, Kate met me and we went on to Costco.  After

we dropped into the house I noticed their was a message and it was Tim Hortons, I won

the basket for the man as above. 

 

Most gifts were car cleaning supplies, gift certificate for 30.00 Rossano's, a Dooley's

letter for use of a room which we passed on to Kate, throw and pillow for travelling, set

of screwdrivers, trimmer..... shammy for car lots of clothes and sponges.
