Grandma Rinn Comes to Ottawa!
Mom, Dad and Grandma Rinn came for a visit from Sunday to Tuesday! They arrived Sunday late afternoon and came to see my condo since Grandma hadn't seen it yet, then we all went for dinner at a restuarant in South Keys. On our way, we passed Aunt Netta's old house which is still standing, but has become a flower shop. After dinner Mom and Grandma navigated Dad into their old neighborhood and I saw the house they lived in on Vancouver St. when Mom and Aunt Marie were little girls. The old fields have now become subdivisions or commercial businesses and the dirt road Mom used to walk across to school is now a major city street, but otherwise, not much has changed in 50 years....
We took Grandma to her friend Eileen where she was going to be staying for the two nights they were here. You can see how happy Eileen was from the picture below. She has been waiting for Grandma to visit for a few years now and was thrilled to see her!
We left Grandma there and headed back downtown to Mom and Dad's hotel. I met up again with Mom and Dad after work on Monday for dinner. We said goodbye that night and they collected Grandma on Tuesday morning and headed back to Thamesford. Being the awesome parents that they are, I will be seeing them again at the end of the month when they help me and my new roommate move some new furniture into my condo. Of course, with the Queen in town, it wasn't too hard to get our Queen to come back :)
