On Wednesday, it was just beautiful outside. This lovely warm weather is very welcoming.
We were saddened to hear of the passing of Leona Richen (nee Harkins). She was the beloved wife of the late Guy Rochon. Our heartfelt sympathy, thoughts and prayers are with her children Jewell, Jane, children, grandchildren, family and friends.
On Saturday evening, we took in our granddaughter Mikeala’s (Maison Des Arts) dance recital in Orleans, Ont. The dance routines were fantastic and they are so talented. Congratulations is extended to the dancers and teachers for a job well done.
On Sunday morning, little Zoey Valiquettte, daughter of Shannon and Tyler Valiquette and granddaughter of Paulette and Yvan Pelletier was baptized. Fr. Tim Moyle officiated the sacrament. The godparents were Amy and Andrew Pelletier.
I hope everyone enjoyed their Mother’s Day, as much as I did. After mass on Sunday, we drove in to Ottawa, Ont. and met Rhonda, Mark, Jacob and Bella at the Byward Market. We enjoyed a tasty brunch, then we all toured the tulip festival and we visited the grounds of Parliament Hill.
This coming weekend is the first long weekend of the summer. The campers are gearing up. Many people will be planting their gardens, and working in their flower beds and lawns. I hope that everyone has a safe and a happy long weekend. Hopefully the weather will be nice.
