Thursday, June 14,2012 Our Anniversary and the Big Gap

Well as one can see from today's title, it's our anniversary today  60 years..today - Funny thing Mac mentioned this morning, "you know there seems to be a big gap, I can't remember, you're sure we haven't been apart for a long time?"  No that's for sure we haven't been apart, and today is our anniversary sixty years now i answered.  Well says Mac, time for you to find someone else and i will too...well how about that i said, where should we look, then we both laughed.

Later we had a lovely lunch as Jacob, our grandson joined us.  Jacob will be leaving tomorrow, to go to Calgary to join his girlfriend and LIVE there, boohoo.  We then had a conversation about moving out west, I reminded Mac that when he was working for CN he went out west to Edmonton for six months, surprise - he remembered.  But that was all he remembered, he could not remember what he did for CN, or what position he held there.  I said do you remembe skiing every evening after work as the hill was nearby...he just kind of looked - then said, yes...but I don't really know if he truly remembered that

He was very keen though on the info that Jacob mentioned, that is,  that the NFB has a good little movie called  August 26th in St. Henri.  That gave him such a happy look - then the discussion about our neice Rosemary, Jacob's sister , Mac  said,  we have someone we know now living in St. Henri.   I said - yes Jacob's sister.  Jacob said, "yes she is moving, but will still be in St. Henri..Mac said, I think on the other side, i added yes near the canal.  Jacob then proceeded to tell us a little about the movie.  I plan to buy it for Mac, should  make a great anniversary gift.  Especially since we were talking to a friend the other day about her trip, and he said I only want to take one trip, 'to Saint Henri.'   so we'll do that and see the movie too.

Our walk today to the library and back, Mac said, this is really unfamiliar as we went home via St. Francis rather than the walking path..he said it's been at least a year since we took this street.  Well it's been some time as we usually take the walking path through the fields..so he is taking note, which is good.  On the way home I celebrated our anniversary with a Chocolate Milkshake..Mac celebrated in his own quiet way, saying happy anniversary and squeezing my hand and giving me a kiss..told him he had to give me 60, later says Mac.
