Yes this has been a whirl wind year. Our year off began with Andrew and Emily's wedding in Newfoundland. I was fortunate enough to have a long road trip with Andrew as he had to pick up the marriage license in Cornerbrook. All our meals were selected from the site You Gotta Eat Here! Amazing foods on our travels. One memorable moment was sharing the tiny cabin on the ferry. We were both so tired we Kaye's down on our miniature twin beds and were fast asleep instantly. I woke up and turned the tv off and the next thing I heard was the loudspeaker in my ear, 'one hour to shore, drivers wake up!' The trip was great. The wedding was beautiful!
We spent a week in Manatoulin Island at the camp. We canoed with Bob, Barb, Becky, Jean and the dog. Lovely time rug hooking, swimming and visiting.
In September we held a reception for Andrew and Emily. What a nice way to get family and friends together!
Next we were off on our Aussie Adventure. You will have to check out our blog for this. First we spent a week with Dad and Gillian in BC and at the end of the trip we spent a week with Lisa and Ian! We had such a marvellous time!
Christmas came and went quickly. Alan and I joined in with the Christmas songs with the choir.
January we were off to Belize. I will write more on this later. An amazing experience volunteering with the schools and churches.
As soon as we returned I began my university course from Queens, Family Studies Part Two, and I just finished two weeks ago!
I have been rug hooking throughout the time off and have completed two rugs and almost done the third. More details to follow and pictures!
Now I am sewing Lisa's wedding dress. After a slight glitch of not enough fabric, the dress is over half sewn and I am currently procrastinating and must get back at it! I hoe to have most of it seen by Friday! All I can say is it looks amazing so far! Glad Lisa is coming home from Calgary for a final fitting as FaceTime fitting was challenging with the bodice and a thank you to Canada post for getting the bodice back and forth successfully!
I am sewing in the church basement. Lots it tables, light and no kitties to help! A special thank you to Barbara and Jodi for helping with cutting out the dress. Barbara a special thanks for keeping my math and measurements on the straight and narrow!
More to come, the year isn't over yet and I have not even mentioned all the amazing success Dancer and I have had in dressage and in natural horsemanship.
I will put links and pictures in later... Off to work on the dress!
