Final Good-Bye

In Loving Memory of Eleanor Watson
August 9, 1924 - August 17, 2009

Life is busy................

Our family is spread all over Western Canada & as a result it seems the only time we all gather; sadly, is for funerals. As sad as it was to say our final good-byes to my Auntie Eleanor it was wonderful to connect to cousins, Aunts, Uncles & extended family I haven't seen in many years.

I missed taking photos of many so this is just a few that I managed to get.

Family shot - again missing many.

I wish he acted as angelic as he looks in this photo - oooh looks are deceiving. :)

I hope they always like each other.

Having fun dancing & swinging her hair.

Brandon & the littles.

Sweet little birthday girl - absolute joy over a cupcake, I LOVE that.

I can't believe how big she is getting. What a change from last year.

Catch Up Posts

Roxanne an old high school friend popped in to visit - I hadn't seen her in years & it was wonderful to get together again.
