I’ve been thinking about the opportunities I’ve had to visit and spend time with family and friends…

one of the things I always do is wash up after meals… it started when I would visit my daughter wherever she lived… she has never liked doing dishes so it was a simple thing to do in appreciation for my time there…

whenever I have been camping with the kids, particularly when the boys were little, I would wash and have one of them dry… it was a great way to have one-on-one time and also get the job done quickly…

now, if I am visiting with friends at their cottages, it is one thing that I can do to be helpful…

one of my grandsons took this photo while we were camping this summer;-)…

camping, day one…

big girl pants, birthday, camping, day one, family, fun, grandson, moments, regatta, rowing, sun, visiting, widow

well, we really weren’t camping as we went to Rabbit Lake for the Northwestern Regatta…

the eldest grandson turned eighteen today so we were up early and drove for an hour, arriving just in time for his first race…

watched races, visited with people, dropped the younger boys off at a friend’s where we had a lovely visit before returning to the regatta for his next race…

at the end of race day, seven of us went out to celebrate the big birthday…

had a great time on a patio, then said goodbye to the older boys and headed back to the campground…

now we are in bed looking forward to day two of the regatta…

visiting…

big girl pants, great evening, Star Grill, visiting, website

crazy day at work, and then I put on the big girl pants and drove to the airport, parked, and met a friend who was arriving for a meeting at CCS, my former workplace…

she took me out for dinner at the Star Grill where we had a lovely meal, caught up on each other’s lives and shared lots of laughter…

we have only met face-to-face 3 or 4 times, but I worked with her by telephone on a volunteer committee for a number of years… during that time we had great meetings and learned a lot about websites…

DUCC website meeting...

DUCC website meeting…

it was wonderful to get together tonight and reminisce about the fun times we had… then I dropped her off at another friend’s home and returned here to find that WordPress is working on my laptop (shhhhhh)…

what a great evening…
