We had a slow start to our day before getting on the road. Relatives of Ron were on their way through to the maritimes and were stopping at Mike and Ellen’s for a visit. Mike is Ron’s second cousin. We drove to Prescott and pulled into their driveway. We hadn’t been to this home before and it was a beautiful property along the St. Lawrence River.
We spent the next few hours reconnecting, meeting and waiting for others to arrive. It had been a long time since I had seen everyone. Ron had seen some at his mom’s funeral in 2022. Once everyone had arrived, there were 16 of us ranging in age from about two to ninety-two.
There was a lot of catching up. Phones came out often to show pictures of a story that was being told. Questions were asked about other family members and memories were shared of years gone by.
Around 5:00, the barbeque was started and the men took care of the burgers.
The visiting continued around bites, going back for seconds and sitting back contented. Cake came out for a few birthday people and then the question was asked…chocolate or white?
It was a really nice day and very special to be with family.
