We decided to give her an HD flat screen tv for her birthday, and she loves it. The highlight of her party was speaking to her niece in Australia, via Skype. She was amazed that she could see her and speak to her!
I spent the majority of my visit with Nan, talking, laughing and visiting with family. There is nothing better than the feeling you get with family. I just wish we all lived closer! It is sad to think of how much we miss of each other's day to day lives, being so far away. But, I guess it just makes the time spent together so much sweeter. I did spend four days with my brother and his family. His wife Jessie is just the sweetest girl you could ever meet. She made me feel so welcome! And my adorable nieces were fabulous. They begged me to stay in Saskatchewan the night before I left.

My step-niece Celice, Audry and Deanna Are they not the sweetest?
Celice, Audry and Deanna. It was Audry's seventh birthday.
All in all, I had a great time. It was so wonderful to see everyone, and being there for Nan's 90th meant more than I can say. It was soo hard to leave, but Nan confided in me before I left, 'I might come to visit in the Spring.' And, if I know my Nan, she'll be here!
Your nan sounds like a fun lady. Glad that you enjoyed your trip to our beautiful province!

ReplyDeleteHello! Love your blog. Thanks for the comment @ SparkPicks. What a great idea to use Skype, my Gram would love to video chat with relatives!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun trip. We just had a birthday party for our next door neighbor's 92nd birthday. His wife is 87 and they still live in a home and do all their yard work. What a wonderful thing that Nan can still be independent.
