Today we set straight out for the nursing home to see Tante Marguerite. We went over with Mariette and Lise. Pierre was already sitting with her and she was up and dressed, sitting in her wheelchair waiting for us. Her roommate, Emma, is turning 104 in April, so, at 93, Tante Marguerite is the baby in the room. We talked in a little TV room for a while and then it was Tante’s lunchtime, so the rest of us headed to the Timmy’s down the street. Mariette and Lise went back to the house and Pierre had to go to work after lunch, so it was just the four of us who went back to visit again. We had a good time, promised to
visit again and then went to see Félix and Berthe. Félix is related to us through marriage. His first wife, Anna, was Mariette’s sister, but she died really young of cancer. They were our cousin Lianne’s parents. Lianne was the cousin we met in Sydney before we took the ferry to Newfoundland. Félix took us down to the ocean, right where Little Brook, the stream the area is named for, empties into the bay. Back at Mariette and Michel’s, we had a visit from another of Jocelyne’s brothers, Albert and I did some drawing. For dinner, we ate an early Thanksgiving dinner prepared for us by Michel. It was scrumptious. Dad showed some more pictures that night and I did yet more drawing. Peace out m8s.
