Fifty-Three Days

It was recently pointed out to me that I hadn't posted anything on my blog since April 3rd.  Wow.  I guess since our renovation is (almost) done I figured there wasn't anything to write about.  So I went through my photos and picked out a few pictures that represented the past fifty-three days.

Joe and I celebrated our 26th wedding anniversary with a bottle of 2002 Dom Perignon champagne, a wedge of Stichelton blue cheese, foie gras, Spanish sardines and a few crackers.

We hosted my mom, sisters, brother-in-law and our kids for the Easter weekend.  Even when it is chilly, we force our guests to sit outside and enjoy the fresh air.  Such nature lovers.

Ever since our kids were small we've had an outdoor Easter egg hunt.  Now that our kids are in their twenties, nothing has changed in that department.

We celebrated my father-in-law's 77th birthday.

Will's 1980 Oldsmobile Royal Brougham was finally removed from our driveway.  The car was donated to the Kidney Foundation.

I met Molly in Vancouver for lunch one day.  We went to 'Nelson the Seagull' at 315 Carrall Street in Gastown.  Delicious, delicious sandwiches.  And great coffee.

My friend Donna held an art exhibit for her sister who is an accomplished painter.  I went to show my support for the arts.  (That's code language for I didn't buy anything.)

Joe and I attended two 'wine and food pairing' events here in Squamish.  The latest one was held at Kozo Sushi.  The food and wines were incredible.  Such good value!  We are looking forward to the next one in June.

We had the fam damily up to celebrate Mothers Day.  This time the weather was sunny and hot.  Again, we forced everyone to sit outside. We kindly passed around hats and sunscreen for our guests as they sat in the blazing sun.

Young love.

The family that plays together, stays together.

And THAT, my friends, is a small sampling of the past 53 days.  Fun, food, friends and family.  With a little mirth and merriment thrown in for good measure.
