This part of Florida has many , many restaurants. There must be thousands in our area. And Florida is flat. Ken and I have never fallen in love with Florida, perhaps because there are no hills, however the foliage is lovely. And there are lakes everywhere you look. And fountains too.
Being with the young grandnieces and grandnephews on the cruise was a delight. I have never lived in the same city as these young folks so have only seen them for short periods at holiday times, but on the cruise, we were in the same place for a full week, so we had lots of time to talk. All seven of Irene and Dave's grandchildren are energetic, good looking and hard working and are a credit to their parents and grandparents. I only wish my parents could look down from heaven to see the group together. They would be pleased, I am sure.
Being with the young people was like looking at a slice of live at this instant of time in their lives. The youngest Alana is at University.at Waterloo. Katy has graduated with her Masters degree and is working two jobs. Brendan and his wife Marnie teach school in Korea and are expecting a baby. Ariel is finishing her PhD. while she teaches at McGill. Rachel manages a tea store and is considering switching to real estate. Elise is at UBC in her second year, while Eric is a graduate student in Engineering at UBC. He will work after this degree, says he. These seven young people are industrious and ambitious as well as being gracious and grateful to their grandparents. At this time in their lives, I felt honored to spend time with them, all thanks to Dave and Irene and their 60 years of marriage.
