Four Years

Remembrance of the grandfolks
This month marks four years since both of my grandfolks passed away. My gramps passed away on the 3rd and 17 days later my grams passed away. They were married for 65 and a half years and guess you could say they couldn’t live without each other.

The picture was from my grams funeral, each candle resembled the family (the two of them, their 3 kids and the 8 grandchildren). The daffodils are from the garden where my cousins 1st child (who died at birth) ashes were scattered. He was the 1st great grandchild.

It’s weird but everyone thinks my boo looks soooo much like my grams.

I guess you can say I’m lucky I got a chance to know both sets of grandparents as an adult. Back in 2003 is when I lost my 1st grandparent now just my dad’s mom left. The joys of getting old!

A 5 Day Christmas Fest

Hope everyone had a great time with their families over the holidays. Vancouver had a foggy Christmas this year which was nice because it was not snow however driving around in very thick fog is not fun. But at the same time I would have loved to have made some extra cash shoveling the 30 driveways on my street.

Christmas is not really my favourite holiday (Halloween is) as everyone is so stressed trying to find the perfect gift but I still enjoy it because its spending time with loved ones. I got a few things I asked for and a new fondue set (from my 2 year old) which will be used on New Years Eve. Because I have a huge family, we ate like there was no tomorrow.

I don’t think I would want to see another holiday fest for a very long time. The 5 day Christmas Fest started off at my Dad’s when my brother and I went over there to see him and his side of the family on the 23rd, Christmas Eve was spent at my best friends, Christmas Day spent at my Moms, Boxing Day was at my Aunts for dinner with the whole family clan and the 27th was at another family members place. Thankfully that day we had Mexican. WAIT! There is more to read… read on »
