Weekend of Friends

Last night we celebrated the end of the summer with a bonfire and barbeque at a friends place. It was FREEZING! We were all glad for hoodies, jackets and blankets to wrap up in by the heat of the fire. This beautiful Willow tree supplied the fire wood (it blew down over the summer) The ominous sky, dying tree and corn stalks struck me as a beautiful combination.

Tonight I got to celebrate the 15th birthday of my "adopted" family member, Josh. We had a great family dinner and a really nice visit. I spent a lot of time with the Millers in the summer and have missed them since school started. A great weekend to reconnect!

A Visit with Friends

A few of my good friends have adopted me into their family while my husband is away. I am invited to their house nearly every weekend for their family dinners. Now that Scott is home, I was so excited to have a chance for him to get to know them and vice versa. So We were invited there for supper tonight and things went really well. I even made Pavlova with fresh fruit on top. A great night had by all. Little Pim, their 5 year old, made us all name tags and drew pics on sticky notes to post on Scott, or as she called him "Jenn's Boy". lol

Visit over an Iced Capp

Today was HOT. The temperature reached 32 celsius, but the humidex said it felt like 42! I was thankful for my air conditioning today. As it was, anytime I had to leave my house it felt like I was walking into a brick wall of heat!
So when a friend of mine asked me for a visit at Tim's, I was very much looking forward to a nice, cool Iced Capp! We walked the 5 minutes down the road, sweating by the time we reached the counter. It was so refreshing! We sat and enjoyed the cool table. We chatted about everything under the sun until we checked the time... three and a half hours later! It was a great afternoon!
