Still in Ontario...

I have some time between visits and games to write a quick hello; I'm taking advantage while it lasts. We're still in rainy Ontario for another day or two and, but I can't speak for Teenie, I am looking forward to a bit of summer sun in Vancouver.

It's been looking a lot like this at my parent's place in Oshawa, Ontario...


But a few main events have already taken place. Trevor and Mandy's wedding was a big party, with a few minor moments of drama (which will be funny in about 2 to 5 years) but for the most part it was a beautiful night of two very different families coming together to dance the night away.


Because I'm Aunty Bwina, I got to take care of the nephews for the first chunk of the night. They were a bit hyper, and obviously very excited because of the attention they were getting...which makes them even more excitable...so I did my best, and so did Alex and Rod. It was 3 adults on 2 kids and we barely got them to sit long enough to take down one meatball.

I'll have more pictures in the coming weeks from the photographer and from my own collection. It being my brother's wedding, I didn't want to be the one behind the camera, so I don't have much.

We'll get back to business soon enough though. I need to beat my dad in cribbage a few more times before I get on that plane.


My friends Linda, Lisa, Layla and Laura turned 30 on Monday. It didn't pass without a big bbq at their mom's house with 50 to 60 people. It was really nice to see everyone and catch up. I'll try and get pictures from them too. SIGH. I haven't been good with taking pictures lately.

A Brief So Long

Fernie, British Columbia

Tomorrow I head out for Ontario for 7 days, where, hopefully - cross - my - fingers - hooray, I'll meet up with Albertine who is visiting her family for a couple weeks. I'll be saying "so long" to Fernie for a little while and "so long" to the blog for a week. I have been enjoying my morning blog these past few months but once I'm back in Vancouver, it will all be back to normal...as normal as normal can be.

My brother Trevor is getting married Friday night (I'm so excited,) and my good friends Layla, Linda, Lisa and Laura are all turning 30 on the 11th (I'm so excited,) plus, I'll have family and old friends to catch up with and some good home cooked meals to devour. I hope you enjoy the next week. If you need us, just email info@blueskiesanddaisies.com and we'll get back to you as soon as we can.
