We did get over on tuesday to see my good friend June and hubby sam spent 3 hrs having good time drinking coffee and laughing!sophie was in her eliment playing with June's grandson Hayden who made us all laugh !hopefully next week before we come back we are going to take june for trip to hobby craft at teesdaide park weather permitting!
