Remembrance Day

Today we went to the Legion in Norton for an indoor Remembrance day ceremony. As a cadet, Carrie and one other cadet had the honour of standing at attention at the front, facing us, for the entire service, except for during the wreath laying, at which time she had to move and arrange all the wreaths due to the limited space. We hadn't known she had to move the wreaths, so the first time she bent over to move one, we thought the heat had finally got her and we wanted to go rescue her. She made us proud.
After the service we went to Saint John, and visited Grandpa's grave, and also checked out the repairs to Uncle William's stone, which Mom had noticed was deteriorating a bit. Uncle William would be Mom's great great Uncle, or my kids great great great great Uncle. But Mom has his chair. In storage somewhere. Until her house is ready.
Then we came back to Midland and enjoyed a nice meal at our new neighbourhood resturant.


Oh, we got 112 eggs in our first week as egg farmers, 29 yesterday and 41 today. We haven't sold any yet, but I think I've eaten eggs every day since the hens came.
