The Young And The Old

Our family celebrates everything but last Friday we were called upon for a double Header. Darcy was off to University and Doris was celebrating her 93rd birthday. For Darcy it was a big step as she will be on her own (not really) for the biggest step in her life. The beginning of a educational adventure that will leave her filled with a lot of questions and not many answers. It is often the most exciting event in ones life. She is taking it in stride and I know she will do well. We had to get together to give her a big sendoff. Before she left the house was a shambles with all her gear packed and ready to go but order will be restored come the next day.

Doris on the other hand was going nowhere . She is contented to be right here in the mix of things with family and friends. At 93 she has lived a full life and has had her share of travel and adventure. She just came home after a three week visit to her old stomping grounds in New Brunswick where she was given a early birthday party with her family and friends there, She looks and acts more like 39 than 93 and we treat her that way. All the best to both of them. D and D are important blocks in our family and it was a privilege to celebrate with them on their special days.
