Montreal was our destination to see the doctor (for me). We are lucky to have a driver as Mac finds going up and down metro stairs or escalators a bit tricky these days. So after the appointment and a lovely lunch with our daughter Gaye, we started our walk around Westmount and NDG. City sidewalks were wet but a pleasant change from Chateauguay, looking at the gardens, smelling the roses and chatting about changes in the area.
We passed Grey Ave and Cote St. Catherine, where our son Les and daughter in law Jane used to live. That is where our first grandchild Rosemary was born, and how fun it was for me to visit after teaching at Mackay School nearby. I asked Mac if he remembered, but sad to say, no..but I remember walking with Rosemary in her stroller...Also remember walking to the Metro grocery store on sherbrooke - must have been Fall. I bought a huge cabbage and while shoving it into the basket under the stroller, somehow I managed to lose my lovely gold ring from mcgill..Asked Mac if he remembered having to buy me another, but NO memory there.
So although we have walked and talked around these city sidewalks many times in the past, they didn't bring back any memories for Mac, just for me. One thing all this walk and talk did do, is make us really tired tonight so it's goodnight from both of us, we're off to bed.
