NANA AND FISH AND GRANDMA ORVIS LAUGHING!

I found this pic among my messes! It was taken in Aaron Park--we'd gone down for the day and had a picnic while my Mom was over from England to attend my graduation from Lakehead University--got my B.Arts that year (1977) majoring in English, minor in Psychology.
The boys had caught a fish and asked my Mom to hold it--horrors!! She gamely did but handed it back very quickly! It was a HOT May day--can you believe it! She was over for about a month and even went a ride in the J-3! She kissed the earth when they landed--we all laughed--she was a very funny person! My Mom was born on March 6th 1904 and died in January 1982 of breast cancer.
Grandma Orvis is sitting in the background and they got along really well. We'd all gone to England when Shelby was 8 months old and stayed at my Mom's in Brighton. Grandma Orvis stayed with her cousin later on near the Epsom Forest just northeast of London. She had corresponded with her cousin for years and found it wonderful that she could see her at last!

Today is another cloudy cool day. We went to the R.T.O (retired teachers' lunch) earlier today and had a nice spread of cold cuts!
