A Visit to My Grand Pa

 

Once a week, I visit my Grand Pa. This time I got my plants back that he babysat for me. He took really good care of them, they had never looked so healthy.

 

My plants and his plants. :p

I gathered a bouquet of feathers on the way to his place. :)

My Grand Pa's Birthday

 

In July we celebrated my Grand Pa's 84th birthday. As time goes by, I see him more and more like a mischievous kid. He has this sparkle in his eye and he's always up for anything.

 

 

Birthday Boy

We just got back from Toronto today. I ran to the lab to get three rolls back and gave them all of my rolls from Toronto.

I'm so sleepy right now I could pass out. So I'm trying to keep busy blogging about these pictures from last July.

It was my Grand Pa's birthday and we celebrated at m parents'.

My Mom BBQing. Always exciting.

I hope I did a better job with the Toronto pictures than I did with these. They are so blurry. But I still need time to get around this camera (Olympus OM-2).

I love this outfit. I got the skirt when we were sorting out my late Grand Ma's clothes. It's actually a 'jupe culotte', mix between pants and skirt. I took for myself a bunch of her clothes and it's so nice to wear them and keep her memory alive somewhat.

Haaa... Champagne!

My tired brother.

My Grand Pa and his birthday present. Greg and I got him 2 cushions for his living room. I think he likes them. He put them to use right away.

Tomorrow I'm heading to my parents' for a family meal and to get my cat back, they looked after him while we were away and on monday my Grand Pa and I are going on one of our road trips with the camper. I still don't know where yet. My Grand Pa seems to have figured out a destination but I kind of want it to be a surprise till the last minute.

My Grand Pa's Pictures

My brother gave me two old cameras. A Voigtlander and a Foca Sport. I used the Voigtlander and my Grand Pa kind of fell in love with the Foca Sport. He shot a roll on our trip to La Flèche and finished it in Bretagne on a second trip. So here are his endeavours.

Ok, the camera is old and the lens quite damaged as you can see. But I think he had a blast nonetheless.

 This is not photoshopped! :) There was a thick pane of glass between us :)

A day at my Grand Pa's

Twice a month I go visit my Grand Pa. I've already said numerous times how I love him and that he's such good company. Always great talks, advice and food. So twice a month I go have lunch with him and then we go visiting some place or another, we come back and drink tea. And it's always a blast.

This time he made me Tartiflette, which is potatoes, cheese, onions and bits of lard and wine. It's of course delicious.

The view from his house.

 Selfie in the car window.

Going out.

I love how young he is at heart. He's always up for a cheesy pun and he rocks at using electronics, which is not the case of most people his age or younger (my parents for example, they can barely set the time of the dvd player).
