The Reason

Well, the reason for this lovely trip, accompanied by blue blue skies and sun shine, was to visit my Grand daughter. ( she is "Grand" in more ways than one.) Christa, as you may know by now, is the daughter of my son, Steven and his wife Janet. She was borne on 25th October 2000, which makes it easy to remember her age.
She spent 9 weeks with a family in Geneva, to improve her knowledge of French, which, as much as I can determine, is pretty fluent and, so I am told by her hosts, nearly flawless. Last year the host family's daughter, Elodie, spent the same amount of time in Toronto, actually Newmarket, as an exchange student guest in Steven and Janet's house. What a lovely idea....   I only wish that this practice had been in place when I went to school.

Here's the proof: Youth can fly !!!

and after a tiring flight, they rest in a tree.

Just like the birds.
