July 14, 2015. Western Head, N.S. Saying Goodbye.

Our young people are leaving us in Nova Scotia and returning to their lives at home.  We have enjoyed their energy and their enthusiasm these past two weeks.  It has been a great pleasure to watch these young folks in action.  And they were a great help too.  They served us at dinner each night.  Beginning in the fall of this year, Kate and Jessica begin their University years, Kate to attend Mississippi College and Jessica to the University of Ottawa.  Sarah will be in the 12th grade while Abigail is in the 11th.   Rachel and Mary Frances will be in the tenth grade with Samantha and Allison in the 8th.  Molly begins in the 2nd grade.    It has been a pleasure being with these 9 wonderful young people.

 Ofter you hear of rude and uncooperative young people but we saw none of that.  They were a pleasure to be with and we will miss them when they are home.   Gaby and Randy, Jessica and Rachel left this morning for their long drive home to Ontario.  Christina, Kate, Mary Frances and Molly leave tomorrow to fly home to Mississippi.   Ken commented tonight that he hears of older folks delighted to see the last of the visit with their grandchildren.  But he has never felt that way.  He loves to have the young folks around.  We are both delighted they were able to come for this visit and pleased that Dave and Irene were able to share in the joy.  It has been a happy time.
