Weekend in Grand Falls

Friday night we headed north.....we had supper, packed and left around 5:30PM. It was a difficult drive in the rain, the road was SOOOOOO black and it was hard to see at times.

Saturday was a busy day. We startedwith a big breakfast of pancakes and bacon.Then we rolled away from the table and put the christmas tree together. Before lunch, Paul and I took Mom to town; they were having a clinic for the general public to get their H1N1 shot. Both Mom and Paul got theirs....I had received mine at work the first week they were out. Then we took Mom to the library and she got a library card and took out a couple of books and movies. That afternoon we decorated the tree and house.

Paul's birthday was on Sunday and because we would be travelling, we celebrated it on Saturday evening. Mom made a lovely meal and cake and ice cream followed.

That evening we had a serious game of cards, double deck rummy, and Oma was the winner. Unfortunately the birthday boy was the loser.

Sunday we went to church with Opa and Oma....chatted with John & Giselle and Louis & Carmen after mass. We had breakfast at the Big Stop in Grand Falls and were on the road around 1:00pm. It was a beautiful but cold day.
