Toronto Bound

My dear youngest son Michael has decided to become a Torontonian. I hope he likes it there. I'm sure it will be a very exciting place for him, but I hope he will remember all the good things that Vancouver has to offer and will decide eventually that he is a B.C.er. We had a family dinner for him on Sunday to wish him a bon voyage. This is a picture of Jim, Mike and Mom

Wedding

Last Saturday was the wedding of the son of my best friend of 41 years Sandra. She has a beautiful house and wooded acreage and the wedding was held in her back yard. They had big white tents with strings of lights and japanese lanterns throughout for the reception. A creek runs through the back of the property with a footbridge over it and the ceremony was held there. At the part where the question "doe's anyone object" a voice came around the side of the house "now just hold on" It was Nearly Neil a Neil Diamond impersonator. He sang a verse of a song and then said he would be back later. The guests were cracking up. It had been an emotional ceremony up to then with the parents welcoming the bride and groom into their respective families and this was a needed comic relief. The ceremony was concluded and then after a little while we had a wonderful dinner of pasta's and salads made by Sandra and her helpers. After the speeches we had Nearly Neil back to sing for almost 2 hours and then danced the night away. It was so much fun.

Won a prize

A few weeks ago our little town had a Carribean festival. It was great fun with Carribean style food and dancing and music and crafts. My hubby and I went to the ice cream shop and instead of my usual anything with chocolate I decided to try whisky cream flavour. Oh man! It tasted like whiskey, but in a really good way. It's always good to try something different. They had a booth for Avon (cosmetics) and they had a prize draw that you could enter. It was a gorgeous case with tons of different things in it. Well, I won. Even a watch!
