In the last 2 weeks we have been blessed with so much visit from down South. Many of the Strakers made their way up North to spread Moms ashes at River Lake. It was a very special day. So much love and respect for that amazing woman. Her kids decided to make an Inukshuk in her honor. It was a nice way to end the “ceremony”. After we all headed back to the the cabin and had lunch and then headed back to town. Dad (from Regina), Kim and Denny (from Calgary)stayed with us. Carolyn, Parker and Kyle came down from Regina and Carly and Andrew came from Edmonton.
My Dad (from Montreal) came up for 2 weeks. It was another great visit with him. A lot of laughs and nice visits. We saw Prince William and Princess Kate, went on a boat ride, did some shopping and so much more… His sister, my Aunt Lucie and her husband Pierre came for 3 days. That was really special as they had never been to Yellowknife before. They went on a helicopter ride to see Yellowknife. Tomorrow Benji’s Dad and his wife Joan are coming for a visit. We’ve been having really nice weather and it’s just been so nice to visit and enjoy the weather.
On a side note….I got a job at Sir John Franklin as an Administration Assistant. I have less than 3 weeks left of Day Home. A little scary but really exciting. I start at the School on August 23rd.
