We had safe flights all the way and have been reunited with our adult children.
We already had an appointment with an eye surgeon in Edmonton and he is willing to try a crosslinking treatment on my eye(s) to slow the cornea problem (it is already very bad on the right eye and is beginning on the left). When will this work into our schedule? We do not yet know.
We have been able to purchase a car - van (2003) in very good condition. We received it on June 11th, just before the BIG event!
Ju planned a shower for her sister - after I came from Brazil and she from Grand Prairie. I was happy that I could be here, and also that we could plan for Rob's Mom and sister to be with us then.
The rehearsal dinner was not traditional - both families had many out-of-province guests coming, so together we planned a big BBQ picnic in a riverside park in Edmonton. It was a good time to meet each others' families and friends.
June 13, 2009 - Unforgettable! We "gave away" our star and gained another son!
It was a great time for a family reunion as many of Robert's family came from Ontario and Gladys' two sisters and brother (with some of their families) traveled to be with us also.
More family pictures will be posted as they are available!
After the wedding we had two days with Mom and Marg Lundy to do some visiting and sightseeing. Mom moved away from Edmonton in 1937, 72 years ago, and has not been back since! Today we visited the street where she used to live and stood where her home used to be, and we walked the aisles of the King Edward School where she studied for grades 1 - 9! We rode the street car across the High Level Bridge, bringing back many memories for her.
