Family Gatherings

As we were leaving Gramma Grace's house....

........ we noticed that the new owners had put a little flower bed across the front - similar to the way it looked years ago.  All in all, we were quite pleased, and the new owners seemed so proud - it was a good feeling.  The following weekend....

......... it was time to celebrate Aunt Jeannie's birthday....

......... so a bunch of us gathered at Auntie Denise's house (thanks Auntie Denise!) to celebrate.  Left to right....Tracy, Aunt Jeannie, Aunt Grumpy, Uncle Brian, Auntie Denise, Uncle Dave, Aunt Bonnie and last, but not least, Poppa.  We had a good time and some excellent birthday cake!  Happy Birthday Aunt Jeannie!  On Monday morning we went for a walk...

........ up the road and around the corner to....

..... Poppa's favourite morning place - Tim Horton's.  He bought me an Oreo donut - if you haven't had one, you really should!  For once, it was not busy there - Poppa was first in line!  Later that same day we got company....

........there's Poppa colouring with the little boys.  They really do love Poppa!  Since Poppa was keeping the boys busy.........

........... Mommy has time to play on her electronic devise, and...........

.......... Daddy did too!  Apparently they were both farming?????  Daddy recently had a birthday too!  Happy Birthday Daddy!  While they farmed....

........... Poppa and the boys switched to stickers.  They spent some time in the park.  We took the boys to McDonalds for breakfast in the morning - while Mommy and Daddy had a chance to sleep late for a change.  Then we went shopping for watches - only to discover when we got home - the Batman watch that Munchie chose wasn't working.  Poppa is going to take it back.  They had lots of fun....

.............. Squeegie got in on it..........

.......... and Taffy too!  Munchie wanted to pick some yarn colours for some of his future requests....

........ and in the process got himself so tangled up - he ended up with a ball of yarn for a hat, and so tangled that we had to cut him out!  I mentioned to him that he did that as a little baby and I think he was trying to re-create it for me!  They were here for about 2-1/2 days that went by very quickly.  After they left....

.......... I finished the Friend bear - attached his brown eyes and added a nose - kinda cute hey??  Of course, Munchie wanted clothes so....

............ I made him some little jeans and..........

........ a little striped pullover and then set him beside the new watch that Poppa had got.  Poppa went down to Munchie's house on Saturday to do some chores down there.  He took Friend and Batman with him.  I understand he's been quite busy............

........... during the day.  I got this picture this evening.  The note said they were watching Frozen!  Poppa should be heading home tomorrow.  I sure have missed him!
