The wedding today was right out of a brides book or a romantic novel. Blue sky, white sand, blue water with shimmering crashing waves. The flowers, the candles, the dresses, the food, the table linens, the champagne flutes, the ambiance and beautiful villa and of course the attractive wedding party and beaming parents!

Ian shuttled the girls over at 1, returned shuttled the men over at 2, returned and shuttled the parents and grandparents over at 3. The vans came for the guests at 4 and I looked around and saw Ian running through the lobby in his shorts and t shirt. He had returned to get the father of the grooms pants because he forgot them, (4 trips in ALL) and he still had not showered. He was not frazzled. Continue reading →

Oh what a glorious Labour Day weekend! Jean and Bill brought the nice weather with them and they were here just in time for the long weekend festivities. They were on their way back home from visiting with John and Rosemary in Markdale. On Saturday we went to Chris and Donna Masterson’s 4Oth Wedding Anniversary party that was held at their farm on Fairview Line. It was so much fun to see everyone enjoying themselves and celebrating with Chris and Donna. We got to meet Chris Jr’s fiancé and hold baby Zoe. Chris’ band The Pub Crawlers entertained the guests and Julie and Jeff got to show us some dance moves. Roesch’s Meats and More catered the delicious pork BBQ. Link to some pictures from the Masterson Party.

We met Jason and her there around 11 am and we had a very nice and relaxing Sunday brunch. It was humorous that Martha and Jason had the similar ideas for birthday presents. Thank goodness for return privileges and Martha still has the receipts. Best wishes and hugs to our little girl. Love Mom and Dad. Continue reading →

bd_thai_meal.jpgWith the corn harvest finally completed for the year, Tom was finally able to leisurely enjoy his birthday. Jackie visited for the afternoon and surprised her dad with an antique razor. Laura gave him some Proraso shaving soap, chocolates and a gift certificate to his favourite eatery. So you know what that meant, Martha didn’t have to cook! We all ate royally at The Rice and Noodle enjoying spring rolls, tom yum and coconut soup, lemongrass chicken, shrimp fried rice, cashew chicken, red curry beef, chicken pad thai and steamed jasmine rice. Truly a feast for a king! We returned home and cut into Laura’s famous Swiss carrot and almond cake. It was a fun celebration had by all. Happy Birthday Tom! A few more pictures can be found here.

They texted each other and wished each other a fun time. Brian met us for dinner and he then took us back to his dorm to show his grandmothers and parents where he will be spending the next 10 months. Happy Birthday boys.

oldies but goodiesWhile in Florida, Martha had a big problem with her upcoming 54th birthday. She has never fretted about aging before, but now with retirement in the near future, this mile-marker seemed to hit home. She said all she could think about was the old Beatles song with the lyrics “Will you still need me, will you still feed me, When I’m fifty-four.” Luckily she told Eileen her dilemma and concerns who promptly laughed and said not to worry, the correct lyrics are “…when I’m 64“. Disaster averted! Tonight we are invited to Jaclyn’s house for a birthday dinner and celebration.
