In Memoriam - Avril Isaacs (Paddle Your Own Canoe)

A heart of gold,

a smile of pure joy,

a kindness that

extended to all she knew.

A beautiful Funeral service for Avril Isaacs

was held on Saturday June 26th at 10:30 EST. 

at St. Martin of Tours, Mississauga, Ontario. Canada,

attended by family members and friends.

Mass Celebrant: Rev. Fr. Gijo Muthanattu, O. Carm (Pastor)

Avril will forever be remembered by her husband, Vincent, of 50 years, her two children Giselle (Christian) and Geoffrey (Karen) and her five grandchildren whom she was so proud of, Ariel, Michael, Safia, Tyler and Lauren. Sister to Yvette (Malcom d.) Andrews, Robin (Brenda) Werkmeister, and Christopher Werkmeister. She will also be fondly remembered and missed by her friends. Avril was an amazing, strong, genuine and courageous person, kind and generous to those around. These qualities are present in the grandchildren she helped raise and whom she loved unconditionally. Everyone who had the good fortune to meet and get to know her, knew how she always made them feel loved.

STRAWBERRY MOON IN JUNE

 

STRAWBERRY MOON in June last evening was hard to capture. The sky was cloudy as the full Moon rose gently above the horizon. June’s full Moon - typically the last full Moon of spring or the first of summer - is traditionally called the Strawberry Moon. This name has been used by Algonquin, Ojibwe, Dakota, and Lakota peoples, among others, to mark the ripening of strawberries that are ready to be gathered. As flowers bloom and early fruit ripens, June is a time of great abundance for many. Photo by Tony Fernandes

Hard to find Cookbooks

The above clipping appeared in Navhind Times, Goa, written by journalist Frederick Noronha about my wife's Recipe Book “Savour the flavour of India”. This Recipe book, along with my book “Goa - Memories of my Homeland”, were first published in Year 2004 in Ontario, Canada. The 2nd Editions of both books were published in Year 2005 at Pilar Printing Centre in Goa, India. These books were available at Broadway store in Panjim, and at various Book stores in Mapuca & Panjim. You could even grab a copy at the Dabolim Airport Book store. Unfortunately, they are both sold out, although Frederick Noronha did offer to publish them as he owns a publishing company.

However, in Canada these books can be ordered online through Edna's Pickles website: www.ednaspickles.com

Also available are 2 new ones:
