Nova Scotia visits

At the end of August, Lisa and Max traveled to Nova Scotia to begin the process of moving Max to the University of Waterloo. We spent a week adjusting to the 10 hour time change from Vietnam before flying to Toronto. And what a wonderful week it was! We were able to participate in a couple of activities that we hadn't planned on!
First was a family reunion of sorts: Uncle Don's 80th Birthday party brought family from all over the province to Mush-a-Mush Lake. For some of Lisa's cousins it had been as many as 9 years since being together. Lots of great food and story telling!

There was also a gathering of friends from the Class of 1983, which Lisa was thrilled to be part of! A delicious meal of seafood and a special time of re-kindling friendships.


We also were on hand to say goodbye to Max's cousin, Brett, who was returning to university for her 3rd year of Nursing at Dalhousie (Yarmouth campus).

Nana and Grandad now have two grandchildren at university.

It was also a time for Lisa to help her sister, Shelley, learn how to manage the pain of a broken arm. One thing a nurse surely knows how to do is medicate properly!
