An Interesting Sight

This is the sunset at the North Pole with the moon at its closest point. You can also see the sun below the moon - not a common sight!

In Memory of Andrew Frank (Andy) Dunlop 1944 - 2011

Suddenly, our dear friend, Andy Dunlop passed away on Friday, March, 4th, 2011. We attended church together in Arnprior. Betty and Andy have been a blessing to our family over the past few years. Their two sons, Drew and Christopher passed away in recent years. Their daughter Leah and husband Nathan live ten minutes from us. We've been looking after their sweet daughter Alexia for the past few months. Our last day with her was on Friday as her Mom is having another baby in the next two weeks.

Andy and Leah - January 2009

We will miss you Andy.

Lunch with Louise

My friend Louise is back from school for a reading week. She and I went out for lunch together this afternoon. We had a wonderful time together.

Dinner as a Family

I told you about Dad being in Atlanta. Well, he was supposed to arrive home about 1am but ended up stuck in Detroit overnight. We didn't get to see him until Friday night supper at JR's. I was working and Shawn was studying in town. We were meeting Mom and Dad at the restaurant. When we arrived Dad said to head over to the table and he would wait for Mom outside. We got over to the table and a surprise was there! Scotty had been picked up by Dad from school and brought him to surprise us all. You are the best Dad! I had been feeling a little miserable that day because it had been awhile since we'd all been together. We had a great time together before he had to head back to Ottawa.
