Algers

The theme of the summer has been “Family”! This past weekend we drove to St. Catherines to celebrate my Grandfather’s 90th birthday. It’s been a while since I’ve seen so many Algers in one place and it was nice to catch up. I have to admit that as far as Grandfathers go mine was pretty hip. While other Grandpas were playing cards or sitting quietly in an easy chair mine was exploring Australia, riding motorcycles, raising horses, digging us a swimming hole, roller skating or ice skating. And he was always offering rides on tractors or snowmobiles - even though we often declined due to the volume coming from these particular machines. He also took us to cut down our own Christmas tree on the farm (of course Grandma always had hot chocolate ready for us when we got back – I still miss her so much!) and let us help once in a while in the wood shop.



























Sadly, my Great Uncle Cliff (Grandpa’s brother) passed away earlier in the summer. Our thoughts and prayers are with you Auntie Wynne XO.
