Kira

My granddaughter thoroughly enjoying herself about six months ago. I used my digital camera to record her dancing to music.

How do I feel today- alot of tiredness and some stress- happy to see Deidre having a great time in highschool-she received one award for having a b average-a certificate -based on last years academic achievement. She also had received a honourarium to go to the International Peace Gardens for her volleyball sports camp. My grandchildren came for a small version of a thanksgiving supper yesterday. Deidre helped serve the meal to Kira, Kylie, and Kylie's friend Lauren, and David dropped in for about ten minutes, ate and went home. Cora came and chose not to eat-she and David used their personal problems not to sit down and share thanksgiving dinner with me but I took it with a grain of salt for the most part. they should have sucked it up and respected my dinner but I let it go and enjoyed being with deidre and the kids.

Here I am at the library downtown and finished my appointment with my insurance lawyer-things are being lined up and no more to say about that. It has been a beautiful summer like day and the golden leaves on the trees add to the texture and colour and whimsey of downtown Winnipeg. I thought there might be some teachers down from the north for a teacher's conference but perhaps I got the dates wrong as it was only a rumour I heard. I was very sorry to hear of my former boss's death-Nelson McKay -such a gentleman who always spoke with kindness and courtesy and teated all so well. He was my Director of Educatio and my vice-principal at Gardn Hill, Mb. and he hired me more than once. The last time we spoke was in front of the sheraton Hotel about a year ago. I always appreciated his friendly smile and warmth and the coolness he had-if he ever got upset it was not revealed to us. Save a spot for me Nelson.
