Oh Canada...

 I'm back in East Tennessee 

after spending (too short) five days in Canada

with my son and his family.

As those of you that have been following and reading my blog

may remember,

both of us have been through

some very difficult life situations

and it felt soooo good to see him again!

And my little darling boy,

my sweet grandson...gosh!, had I missed him!

And finally
I got to meet my daughter-in-law,

and she really is everything I expected!

A wonderful cook,

and a lovely person and wife and mom.

You might remember her from her blog,

now with a very nice new format. 

I also got to meet her mother, a sweet lady, I should say.

We deliberately planned this trip
to happen at the same time for both of us 

so we could meet and spend some time with the kids and grand baby

before they move to Europe

(which will happen a week from today).

As you can easily imagine,
it felt very good

but it also felt like time just flew by...

I had been in Canada before with J, my husband,

when K (grandson) was born,

almost 11 years ago.

Those are very sweet and precious memories,

and I am so thankful

to be able to have them.

Before I let you all go for now

I would like to wish you 

a wonderful Easter Sunday! 

Also, if you'd like to see it,
I'm sharing some pics 

from this trip of mine.
