Well, it's happened whether I like it or not. Time has a way of simply marching on. I didn't want a lot of fuss and bother, but the children decided that we needed to do Something! So on Saturday of the long weekend, Stevin and Katrina and their children, David and Stephanie and their little one(s), and John and I went to Upper Canada Village for their opening day of the season. We enjoyed a picnic lunch and learned more things about life in the 1860's. It was a hot day, and for a change did not feel any of the breezes coming off the river as we usually do.
Later, we went to Stevin and Katrina's for supper, and that's when I received my gift from my family: Blue Denmark dishes to add to my set! I certainly did not expect this, as I have pretty well given up on looking for more plates to replace the broken and cracked ones - they are not easy to obtain. So this gift was a lovely surprise!
Here is a picture of the card I received - it's called Oma's Garden! Precious faces in the flowers and their footprints as butterflies! On the outside it says "Happy 60th birthday, Oma!"
On Sunday, we had a delightful afternoon on the patio and yard, and dining alfresco. It was another beautiful day! And yes, I had help with the 60 candles and it took more than 1 breath from each of us!
