This post will tell a little news about two of our grown children, Grace and April.
Grace moved to Ottawa in September and has a really sweet apartment on a tree lined street.

April is still living in the States but has a storage unit in Montreal. It was full of her art and she needed help cleaning it out, so Ned and Grace and I met up with her in Montreal last week.
