Happy 50th Daddy!

Happy 25th!

I hope you all enjoyed the lovely warm - sunny day today! I was working 9-5. I had to put the air conditioning on around lunch time today though, because the chocolate was melting! My Grandmother (on my Dad's side) is here for a visit this weekend. She came yesterday and is staying 'till Tuesday.

We are going to be celebrating Dad's 50th Birthday and my Aunt Gwen and Uncle Robin's 25th Wedding Anniversary on Monday afternoon. We thought we would have a double party now that we have more things to celebrate with them living here. (smile)

I will be back with more posts after the weekend! God bless.

Party Prep

Nana and Papa's 50th Wedding Anniversary is on August 5th. The family is having an evening party for them on Saturday, August 6th. We have been working on the invitations during the past week. Mom got them mailed out today after her and Nana addressed them together.

Goodbye Louise

Louise is going away for the summer doing a mission with "Crossroads Pro-life". Here is the link. I'll miss you Louise. May God richly bless you. I took a picture after our time together today. Here is Rosie, Tannis and Louise.

"For we are His workmanship, created in Jesus Christ for His good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them. - Ephesians 2:10

March For Life - Ottawa

On Thursday May 12th we went to the annual March for Life in Ottawa. We went on a bus with our church. A few people from other local churches came on our bus as well. We left Almonte at 8:15 in the morning to drive into the city. We went to Mass at St. Patricks Basilica first. After that the bus took us to the Hill to hear some speeches and singing. The March started at 1:30. Reports said approximately 15,000 in attendance. About 2500 more people then last year!

That is why the greatest destroyer of peace and love is abortion." - Mother Teresa

Scott

Scott had his violin jury this morning at school. It went well. Thank you everyone for your prayers over the past few weeks. We are all excited to have Scott coming home tonight.

"O sing to the Lord a new song, for He has done wonderful things, His right hand and His holy arm have gained the victory for Him."

Psalm 98:1

Gardening

This morning I was working for a lady in Almonte weeding her flower gardens. I have been helping her for the past 3 years. After working there all morning I was inspired to go to the garden center to get some mulch and a few flowers to put in our little flower bed near our chicken coop. I'm looking forward to getting it all put together. When Scott gets home from school this week we are going to start working on the vegetable garden. How nice it is to see the sun shining!
