We spent the day doing all sorts of chores that needed to be done, laundry, grocery shopping, etc. but most of all catching up on what our lives and families were doing since the last time we were together. Aukje and Brendan are getting ready to sell their home and move into a retirement home. They have been living in their home for over 20 years and they were now taking on the daunting task of scaling down their earthly belongings.
We also discussed the plans for the upcoming wedding of their son, Arthur in February. The wedding is to take place in Toronto and the reception is in Burlington. A lot of things will be taking place in their life in the next few months; Brendan is slated for a hip replacement surgery, the move into their new retirement home and now the wedding of their son!
The day sped by. We drove to the construction site of the new retirement home and discussed which suite they would like to pick out. Our conversations crossed many topics and soon it was time for supper. Brendan barbequed hamburgers to go along with mushrooms and all the fixings.
Tomorrow we would be on the road again so we took the necessary “family” photos and then got ready for bed.
