My birthday . . .

I have to say that I'm now 60 years old, and while I never really thought of 60 as old, I did find myself buying a walking cane this week (see foot injury blog). Somehow that just seemed to fit.

The very nice thing about this birthday was the family and friends that celebrated with me. Roy booked a private room at "It's All Greek To Me" restaurant in Dartmouth and surprised me with a wonderful gathering of close family and friends. Lovely food, lovely wine and great conversation.

I'm also the proud owner of a first generation "IPAD". I'm very much in love with it and I'm sure you'll be reading more about it as time goes on. Did you know that there is a "quilting" App for the Ipad? This is going to be a lot of fun.

Roy and I are heading to Cape Breton tomorrow for a Logan family wedding. While we won't be doing much hiking, we do hope to do some kayaking. I'll post some pics.

Foot injury

What have I done to myself. Sheesh! It was either when I was painting or when I was working in the garden, but I somehow managed to tear a ligament in my foot and it is painful. That was five days ago. Last night it swelled up again so I'm back to icing it and I'm wearing a wrap-around bandage to help stabilize it, but I'm beginning to wonder if it will ever heal. It's real pesky not being able to walk on a foot. A real nuisance!

Ottawa family

Last weekend was Lucy's birthday party. She was a real princess and had a great day. She was sad when all her friends went home. So precious.








Will is now two months old and growing like crazy -- he's a real bruiser. Lucy is always holding "my baby". She's a great big sister.
















Roy went to Ottawa for a weekend to meet little (big) Will. He had a wonderful visit, but it was all too short. We're excited to have them come visit us in September.
