Mother's Day

 A lovely Mother's Day yesterday with a lunch and dinner I didn't prepare. We also went for a nearly 6 km walk around the neighbourhood which I greatly enjoyed. I have not walked on some of those paths since I used to run with my youngest over by the creek. It has certainly filled in and the trees are huge now. What a great way to spend mother's day. I never thought about being a mother in my youth; I did have other plans. So my daughters continue to amaze me as they are busy in their chosen careers - very very busy. 

The day simply flew by but I did attend Church online and the new Bishop of the Ottawa Diocese was officiating at Holy Communion. Having grown up in Huron Diocese there are a number of differences between the two in terms of services which probably do not exist today as I have not been at Church in London, Ontario for many many years - probably the funerals of my parents were the last time that I was at an Anglican Church in London when I think back. I did go a couple of times with my mother as well before she passed away.  

Not one match accomplished yesterday.  I will do some today but it is basement cleaning day and soon time to start the robot at its task. There are a number from Living DNA in this next few that I am looking at. Quite a few Blake, Buller, Pincombe and Rawlings as many many of those cousins remained in England. Most can be put into these four grandparent lines readily. 

Solitaire puzzles are next.
