Two weeks ago we (my husband, youngest son and I) along with my parents went on a vacation to Quebec and Ontario to visit relatives (my Mother's in Quebec and my Father's in Ontario). We had a good trip and it was wonderful to see so many relatives (some I hadn't seen since I was 9).
Here are a few pictures -
Quebec -
the church in St Gregoire, Quebec
my cousin's farm (with our rental car in the front)

angora goat farm - L'Angelaine

These statues represent Alberta's Famous Five who fought to have women declared "persons" under the law (October 18th, 1929), which was the start of equality for women in Canada.
we went to see The Lion King on our last night in Ottawa
at the National Arts Centre
it was amazing!
I started working on my tatting again (it is great for traveling)
and when I returned home I started a pair of socks with the mohair I bought at L'Angelaine

On a sad note. The night that we returned home (August 3rd) my mother in law passed away. Four of her children had returned from her youngest daughter's wedding in Alberta the night before. When we arrived home my husband (the youngest of 7 children) went to see her, she recognized him, about an hour later she slipped into unconsciousness and passed away a few hours later. It was like she was waiting for her daughter to get married and her children to return home. She had been sick for a while and it was awful to watch her suffer. She was 84 years old. The funeral was yesterday.
