Summer has come and gone. We've had lots of company which we like. It's so good to see those of you who come back to visit. Remember that you are always welcome here and come again soon.
Our summer began with Cheryl coming for a visit the first week of July. We stayed in around St. John's for a couple of days and visited the Southern Shore - Ferryland, Cape Broyle, Aquaforte, etc - for the first time. I know some people from that way and I played a lot of softball against teams from there but hadn't ever drove up there. Very nice scenery. We had a great visit and it's always nice to have Cheryl here for a visit.
From the last week of July to the last week of August, we had plenty of visitors including Pat and Evelyn from Toronto. While they were here, Randy and his girlfriend Kim; Colin, Stephanie and their children Hope and Jenn; Pamela and her children Devon and Catherine visited for a while too. Great to see all of them together.
While they were here, Kevin, Diane, Cory, Matt and Adam along with Adam's girlfriend Kristine visited. It sure was nice to see all three of those boys - men now - here again at the same time. Although they have grown up and it's been a long time since they have been here they haven't forgotten some things - like bingo!!! Come again soon!
Junior and Nora came for a couple of weeks. It was nice to see them and they enjoyed themselves too but it seems like Nora vanished whenever the camera came out. I don't have even one photo of Nora. If anyone out has one please forward it to me. Otherwise I'll have to scan an older photo that I have.
Along came Tracey, Leo, Josh and Emma for a couple of weeks. It was nice to see Josh and Emma. As you can see Emma is a little cutie and Josh is growing up pretty fast. I think Josh is more like Tracey while Emma is more like Leo - not necessarily in looks but personality. Great kids!!
Last but not least, Lucy came and at the moment is still here. As you all may or may not be aware, Lucy celebrated her 60th birthday August 4. So I guess we'll have to celebrate with her while she's here.
Gladys and I are heading out this Saturday, Sept 6 on our European Vacation. We fly to Dublin Saturday and join a tour for the first week. It ends Friday Sept. 12 and we fly to London that day for the next week. We'll be staying with Cheryl's friend Nicole in London and Cheryl is coming for that week so we are looking forward to the trip. Should be fun. We'll let you know how it goes when we get back.
Thank you all for visiting this summer and hope all goes well the fall. If you have any thing that you would like me to publish or photos please forward them to me. I would love to have them.
Below are a few of my pleasant memories of the summer. As you know what I publish here is for my side of the family. We also had some of Gladys's family visit this summer and one of her niece's, Renee was married so we had a busy summer.
Included is a photo of downtown St. John's. You should all try to visit there. Plus a photo of Cheryl with her two cousins, Kevin and Karen who call her Aunt Cheryl. As well there is a photo of Gladys's mother whom some of you ask about sometimes. One photo of Gerard and Pat was taken while Pat visited Gerard on his was down in July.
Enjoy!
