Yesterday walking along the river and seeing 3 domesticated geese and their 3 babies, plus mallard duck with babies, and enjoying the flowers, and the trees and butterflies and bees...started us thinking and talking about Mac's mom Elizabeth McConnell, she had a budgie bird called Topper, Mac mentioned how she would put a lettuce leaf filled with water on the kitchen table, Topper would then take a real energetic bath water flying all around. He said people don't seem to have birds like my mom, she raised canaries - and they really could sing. Surprise today we were invited to a friend's home and there she had two budgies but he really didn't pay too much attention, being more intrigued with her little shiatsu GiGi..what a fun dog - especially for Mac.
We also went over the train bridge yesterday which brought to mind a story Mac likes to tell about how his dad used to put mac on his knee, mac would have been younger than age 4 - as sad to say, that is when his dad died. They would rock together on a big rocker and pretend the rocker was a train, his dad would say, All aboard, montreal, lachine, dixie pointe claire, Valois, now all off, as Valois was where mac's paternal grandparents lived. A lovely fun memory for Mac. Endearing, but probably not enduring sad to say.
