We, Mac, and I as well as Valerie, Gaye, Maureen (three of our four daughters) our Grandaughter Brianna and her sweet Finley our great grandaughter age 4 mos. Gaye's son Chris, Donald husband of Maureen, and their son Noah...were the Team called McConnell Memories...joining us too were our good friends Bruce and Jean Lovell for the walk at the Port in old Montreal.
Our usual walk is a lovely quiet one along the river in Chateauguay, but this was special, at first Mac was hesitant, a little angry, with all the noise of the band, the balloons, the cheerleaders, and hundreds of people - all dressed in blue...but gradually gradually, he became animated, enjoyed the wonderful ambiance of music, fellowship, super sunny weather and fantastic vibes..and to top it off a picnic lunch where Gaye and Valerie both won prizes of tickets to movies and the science center - what luck.
Although we have had many days walking around old Montreal in the past, there was nothing that jogged Mac's memory, his mind was so busy making sure of his footing, and when he did look around, his comments were mostly about the sweet little children running around the picnic area...and wishing he had a pair of sissors to cut the long long pony tail of his Grandson Chris.... later after a nap at home he only remembered the day when i mentioned our baby Finley and Chis's long pony tail...
