Happy Hoemaker 2026-07-27

Happy Tuesday! 

Am very late in posting but just got home at 5:00 pm Monday night after a weekend away at sis' house.

I worked a few hours telework during the week but mostly was a quiet vacation week.  We did go to the Pier one day to sit for awhile.  SIL fell on her face while going in her house and is quite scratched.  Other sil got more results and will have chemio, radiotherapy and operation all of that will start soon.

Friday was town celebration of Christmas in July, dh spent day there as volunteer to help decorate and set it all up.  I had gotten all our Christmas hats out as well as a snowman homemade-costume (for Xavier) and some red tutus for me and Anne-E.  DH and I also had Christmas sweaters on.  It was very nice, lots of games for the children, free hot-dogs and finished off with outside cinema presentation of Christmas vacation.  DS (had put on his Christmas shirt and elf hat) and 2 grandkids joined the 'Family Category' for Christmas disguise and won a 75$ gift card at local grocery store.  Not many people came for the celebrations though and that was a bit sad because alot of work was put in that activity.  I fell and twisted my ankle at the end of evening and spent the weekend with a swollen ankle but it didn't hurt that much so all was fine.

Saturday went to sis' house for the weekend.  A very HOT, HOT weekend.  Took a small ferry with sis and bil and walked through the streets of Old Montreal on Saturday afternoon and got some ice cream in the evening.

Sunday did errands with sis in the morning and sat outside in the shade chatting in the afternoon.  Brothers and their family came by in the afternoon and for supper.  Had a very nice time with all of them.  Nephew got picked by a hockey academy and will be going to Michigan next school year.  He is 16.  

Monday 1 brother and nephew came for breakfast with us at sis'.  A cousin and his wife also joined us for lunch at sis.  We left not long afterwards and got back home at 5:00 pm.
