Starting one’s day off at 6:06 am on a Sunday is not always my favourite but when you open your eyes to a granddaughter snuggling in with you, all is right with the world. It has been a long time since I have had snuggles and Emmy is just a treat. I can honestly say, I had a great day. The three of us had breakfast, played Go Fish and Mario Wii together. Laughed a lot, especially when Miss E told a joke which always ended with wacka wacka. She made chocolates and played with all the toys in the tickle trunk I made for her Aunties many years ago. After lunch we all went to Rae and Roger’s to visit around the fire outside. We took a few pictures and had roasted marshmallows and then donned masks and had their new exchange student, Max come down as well. He is in quarantine but is allowed to be outside, appropriately distanced. It was the first time our whole family including Bill and Deanne, Ashlée and Jake has been together probably since Christmas 2019. It was lovely to have a visit but also really cold. After Jake left to take Emmy home I went for groceries and them came home to make dinner for us and Ashlée. We have all agreed to stay appart from others for the rest of the week as we are able. I ‘twas great to spend time with them this evening. We ate, played crib and Ticket to Ride, laughed until Ashlée cried and just enjoyed each other’s company. Also made a batch of nuts and bolts but realized too late I was out of worstershire so I made a substitution with sugar, soya sauce and lemon juice. They turned out perfect great I think but could do with less butter maybe. They seem sweeter than they should be. Could have been the banana cheerios…. I remembered too late to purchase a ticket that tonight was the streaming of an encore presentation of a CCT show. I do have access to watch it as I had to convert it for the streaming company but am just too tired tonight. I shall leave this with a few pics from the day.
