As I watched the mist on the corn field outside my window this morning my memory travelled back to 1977 and watching the mist rise over Lake Sagamesing in Northern Ontario with Granny. We spent two Springs together at my uncle's lodge and camp getting it ready for the summer season. We loved watching Spring creep slowly up the hills surrounding the lake, at first just a veil of green and over the weeks becoming a deep lush green.The loons called constantly and a flock of evening grosbeaks came each year too. Granny and I planted a flower garden each year. One morning we were excited to see a spot of purple up the steep hill outside the lodge and I scrambled up to pick a solitary lilac blossom for the table. We were Thrilled! I remember driving over an hour to the nearest city to celebrate her birthday at a Chinese Food restaurant, stopping to pick wild daisies and black-eyed susans on the way. We always seemed to laugh alot! She loved nature and classical music,doing word puzzles and playing cards. She had a positive outlook on life and loved adventure. Even though it was her time to go, it is still sad and I will miss her. She is in a wonderful place of peace and health and happiness now and I look forward to catching up with her again in heaven. We will plant some flowers, bake some bread, watch some birds and worship the Lord together.
Good bye for now Granny. May God bless us all!
