All About Family

I was talking to our son Jason the other day and he was telling me how much fun they are having with their son Aiden  at the local park. Now that brings back some memories.

Later we had a visit from our daughter Pamela and her fiance James. They are all about the final plans for their wedding now less than 9 weeks away.

A little later still Mar and I take the dogs for a walk around 50 Point and see Mr & Mrs Goose out for a stroll with their family.

So what’s this all mean you ask?

Beats me, maybe let’s just put it down to random thoughts coming together.

If you are out and about in the Niagara region this weekend drop in to the Thorold Arts and Crafts Fair. It runs from 10 to 4 both Saturday and Sunday. You’ll catch it at the Thorold Arena at 70 Front St. North in downtown Thorold.

Marilyn would love to see you.

 

Looks Like A Party

So I come home after a hard day at work to find a party going on.

Seems  the whole park is still a little wet from all the rain we’ve had lately, our site is the driest (relatively speaking) and it’s Friday afternoon so just like mushrooms after a rain, up pops a happy hour. Looks like even Angel is having a good time.

Marilyn has taken advantage of the crowd and set up her Art display as a “dress rehearsal” for her show at Thorold next weekend.

It was such a gorgeous evening that a group of us sat outside til almost Gringo midnight (9 pm), something we haven’t been able to do until now thanks to our crappy weather we have all had this spring.

One day, back in February when we were still in Mexico, we we were in Coppella with Bob & Marjorie. You remember Copella, that’s the old mining, mountain town famous for their architecture and  great cream pies.

As we walked through the cobblestone streets of the village, Marilyn suddenly grabbed the camera out of my hands, dropped back and snapped a couple of pictures. Now you see why.

Don’t you just love the Bougainvilleas?

You can see this picture and many more of her favorites and even visit with the artist at the Thorlod Arts and Crafts Show, May 28 and 29 at the Thorold Arena.

It’s be a great chance for us all. Someday we’ll all be able to tell the great grand children that we knew her way back when she was just getting her start.
