Well, Elisabeth taught me this weekend how easy it was to blog!!! So here I am at it again. I will be busy for a while but then I have to do my report cards for the next few weeks so I will disappear again and show up about June 11th.
I bought a new double stroller so I could take my foster grand-kids for walks. We have miles and miles of waterfront walks in Belleville so I am going to take advantage of the opportunity to walk and to have fun with the kids.









Nathan and Faith enjoying the walk.

Elisabeth and I took Nathan and Faith to the Early Years Centre in Belleville. It has 4 rooms plus a gym so we had a blast.

Nana Hannah donated her collection of salt and pepper shakers for a fund-raiser for a missions trip to Honduras. The salt and pepper shakers brought in over $1, 045! Mom never dreamt that would ever happen.
Everyone that bought a salt and pepper shaker wrote mom a note. Here is mom in her hospital room. She said it was very hard to decide whether to watch the Blue Jay game or read her notes. Guess we can see what won out!!







Steve is keeping mom company in her room.





The collection at the church!

Steve, Dave and Cork thought it might be fun to do wheelies in mom's wheelchair. Mom at least behaves when she is sitting in it.

Roger cooking supper


















Roger being the foreman while all the guys carried some new docks down to the creek. Later on in the summer we will put the docks in the new spot.











Playing more games.

More fishing at the cottage

Here we are at the cottage on May 24 weekend. Doing what you do at a cottage- fishing, eating, sleeping, playing games, seeing nature at its best. Brad got the prize for the biggest fish so far this summer. Roger won in 2006 and Elisabeth in 2005. Ok, will Brad keep the record or will someone beat him!

Here is the family at Mom's birthday party. Starting at the bottom left- My son-in-law Mark with Faith, their foster child, and Elisabeth, our daughter beside him- Nathan our foster grand-son on Elisabeth's lap.

Hello Family and Friends
My blog is over a year old. I expect to start publishing again but it will not be in the near future. Maybe you could look this summer. Or possibly in Sept. 2008 which will be the first month of my retirement.
Keep having fun looking at my daughters' blogs and all of their links
Heather
