Mi- Gweetch Kokomis

Well Dorty is off to North Bay on Friday. Going to help with the first grandchild. so Kokomis finally. (Kokomis is grandmother or old-women in ojibway)
The oldest son of Dorty, Dave always said to his grandmother.. "kua-qua Kokomis". (Hi Grandma) As we grow in the language of Dorty we learn more and more words.
At work, the other night, I was saying to Dorty, as she worked on the other machine; "Qua-qua Kokomis" and she was answering'"qua-qua Shumis" (ojibway for 'Old Man'). with that cute ojibway smile of hers. Hehehe... Photo is the grandfather and grandmother of the APTN children's program "Tipi Tales".
