Family Fun

We got to do some serious visiting when Adria was in town recently.

With Dawn and Ross and Malima here to visit their Auntie, we had a wonderful lunch at the new Middle Eastern restaurant in Unionville.

Adria and I spent a couple of days in our hometown, and we met our first cousin Rita and her sister-in-law Sophie at Point Breeze for a delicious lunch.

Then we spent an overnight with our great-aunts (our maternal grandfather's half-sisters) and returned to Point Breeze the following day to celebrate Aunt Marie's 85th birthday.  Around the table from left to right we have Aunt Jenny (age 94), Aunt Alice (age 93), Aunt Marie, the birthday girl, who was married to the three sisters' brother, and Aunt Harriet (age 95).  Harriet's daughter, our cousin Janet, is standing behind her mother. The three sisters have so much fun together and are game to try just about anything!  Aunt Harriet suffers from dementia and Janet does a wonderful job taking care of her. The two younger sisters are getting physically frail but their minds are still pretty sharp. Aunt Alice in particular is quick with a funny comeback. It was so good to see them!
