R & R

Well, May is just about finished and it has just flown by. Lucky for us, Gavin and Connie decided to get married in Mexico and so we had a holiday away from the Canadian scene. The wedding was like a fairy tale. Connie looked beautiful and made us very proud. Of course, Gavin was very handsome also, but the bride always steals the show. What a terrific couple. We are so fortunate to have another son-in-law to welcome into our family. (We just wish they lived closer.) Gavin, we know you'll take good care of our daughter. Mexico was fantastic!!!! It was very busy. Eight days just went way too fast. The girls day proved to be very relaxing and fun. Mala and Lori had everything organized and went off without a hitch. May 7th, the wedding day, went just as smoothly. The ocean in the background, the breeze blowing and a couple in love exchanging vows. I wouldn't trade it for the world. Congratulations and maybe now you'll be blessed with a beautiful, healthy baby. We're waiting for grandbaby number two. Ha, ha, I know there's time.
Unfortunately there were the two mishaps.....one with Darin slashing his finger open....razors must be enclosed in a secure holder....and poor April with the palapa collapsing. Hopefully neither will have any lasting effects.
After a days rest in Medicine Hat, we continued on to Regina to see Kim, Bill and Addyson. Unfortunately they couldn't join us in Mexico. A decision they had to make keeping Addyson in mind. No shots, the heat, Mexico, only a decision good parents can make. Sorry, you weren't there, we did miss you and did think of you.
When we returned to The Hat, we continued on to Olds for Uncle Clarence"s 65th birthday. The Lemieux Family was all there except for Uncle Johnny. I didn't realize there were so many guitar players....let me see....Uncles Clarence, Guy, Henri, Aime, Auntie Colleen, Clayton, can't forget Auntie Peggie on the spoons...there was 3 going at all times. Was funny, cause it had a few on-lookers wondering where the players kept coming from. Oh, forgot to tell you, there was a piano and your father picked out Happy Birthday by ear, needless to say Uncle Clarence had his turn on the ivory keys too. Fun, Fun, Fun.
Oh and I did forget to tell you, my marks were waiting when I got home. Yes, I did it. I now have Year I Optician under my belt. Got an A+. Actually mark wise, I got 92%. The average for Alberta was 64% so I think I did rather well. 94% was the high for Alberta. Ok, that's enough bragging for now.
Everybody working on the camping plans? I know I have the days off.
