What a beautiful Mother’s Day weekend that was. The weather was lovely. I hope you all had a great time celebrating the moms and mother figures in your lives. We enjoyed a delicious barbeque at my sister and brother-in-law’s home in Chelsea and had a fun afternoon gifting the mothers in our family. It was a fabulous day.
On Saturday evening, I joined a group of friends at Gavan’s for a night out of music and fun. Valley Mountain Band was on-stage providing us with great tunes and we all enjoyed a night of chatting and lots of laughs. It was such a fun night out, which I haven’t done in a very long time.
Birthday wishes are going out to Sheena Hudson, as she celebrates on May 23. Best wishes to everyone celebrating this week.
The Spring Vendor Market in support of Ste. Marie’s School has been re-scheduled for June 3. It was originally to be held at the end of April, but had to be postponed due to the high waters around the community centre. I am looking forward to taking part in this market with my Watkins products. Be sure to mark your calendars.
The Victoria Day long weekend is almost here and I hope you are all able to enjoy it. Let’s keep our fingers crossed for good weather. Have a terrific long weekend.

I apologize for an error made in my notes last week. I erroneously mentioned that in Velma Storie’s obituary, that her husband Harold was deceased. I am glad to report that Harold is alive and well.

I sure hope that everyone had a lovely Mother’s Day. I sure did. It was a busy weekend for us. On Friday, we went to Cornwall to visit my sister Joyce and husband Jim Quenneville. My brother Brian and his wife Lisa joined us for dinner. We celebrated Jim’s and my birthday which are this week. In the evening, we drove to Mike’s in Embrun. On Saturday, we did some shopping and celebrated Mother’s Day and my birthday on Saturday evening. On Sunday we celebrated Mother’s Day and Mark’s birthday.
