MIA

 Hello friends! Yes, I haven't been here, but all is fine. I was really tired and kind of wrung out when I returned home. Travel is kind of hard on me now, and doing the driving really hard with my arthritic body.

My dear sister is moving far, far away so I went to Peterborough for a few days to give her a hand sorting and packing a bit. While I was there, she and I and our dear brother met up with two of my daughters, son in law and my grandson for an afternoon of food and frivolity. It was so nice to see them all again!

I have a random lot of photos from down that part of the province.  They are a bit out of sequence.

    I loved seeing the photos, Karen. What a wonderful reunion for your family! That just makes me smile. And it's pretty territory, too,

    It has been a long time since I visited Peterborough or at least since I went through it. For some time we'd get to the outskirts via 7 and then head south along 115. We'd go to visit Sue's brother, but he hasn't been with us for five years or so.

    Glad you've had such a lovely time! It's always good to visit with family. Just curious...where is sister moving to? Will you still be able to visit?

      Sarnia. It will take some planning, but we'll figure something out

    Sounds like a great 'overdue' visit with family. We seem to have a lot of those since we began this lifestyle. Overdue ones. :) Nice pictures of the family! That's a beautiful church, the way they should look in my opinion.
