Today my mother is 92 years young. Age is trying to catch up to her but it still has a ways to go.

We decided to meet my mother and brother in Stratford and go for a walk along the river by the Stratford Festival Theatre. The river is home to many geese, duck and swans.

I think the geese think they own the road. Ed and I laughed as we watched a number of guess stopping traffic. After a few minutes the traffic would sneak by. When the next set of cars approached the geese would run out onto the road. I think it was a big game.

The birds are very use to humans. I think you could probably pet them. In fact, a couple of times I thought the geese were going to attack because I didn't have any food with me.

What do you buy someone who is 92? This year I did the card, flowers and dinner thing.

From Stratford we drove north to the village of Millbank. There are a number of Mennonites living in this area so you usually see some horse and buggys when you drive into town. Millbank is also the home to the famous Anna Mae's restaurant. This restaurant serves very good Amish food. We all enjoyed our dinners. As she was leaving my mother said that this is what a birthday should be --- a nice outing and dinner with family. Think she enjoyed her birthday.

I could resist the chance to sit in a buggy.
