Recovering Now
Hi, all
after a very busy weekend, I of course was immediately placed into bed, suffering from a sorta cold/flu sorta thing. We had that extreme weather change from winter to summer & back to winter over about 4 days. I find I usually catch something then...
Of coure it doesn't help when I refuse to take out my heavier coat and run around in a light coat while it is snowing....
Aside from that, still hacking and coughing.
Saturday went very well, we had Roanna's Mom's 60th Birthday, most of the people we invited came, we had a few unable to come since they were sick and a couple of others who had previous engaements. Though in total I think we had 20 people.
We kicked out Madeline, & decorated the house, set up the games we played, and got the food ready, we were pretty organized and we were even able to go back home and catch a nap.
Everyone played name that tune for a bit, with songs from the 60's & 70's, Richard (Roanna's brother) took care of this, and as a "prize" everyone got a CD that he made with alot of the music on it that was played during the game.
We also played a sixties trivia game, with some prizes for the top team, (we had made some mugs with a photo of one of Madeline's paintings she had given me as a gift.
It turned out pretty well, except the cropped the photo from the bottom, so you couldn't see her signature.
Silly enough though, I forgot to take a picture of the cup, we only had them in the house for, like, 4 weeks.
We also had a jar of jelly beans contest, guess the number, Funny enough the first person who guess the number, won the jar.....
We had a pretty big spread of food, and I got to try out my chaffing dish that Roanna got for me for my birthday.
Crab quiches, cheese quiches, veggie tray, crackers, cheese & meat platters, meatballs, chicken & pinapple kabobs, beef kaboobs, and off the table a big shrimp platter.
Champaigne & cake finished off the night. We ordered a beautiful cake from Cakeworks, a place in Calgary, they were the company we used for our Wedding cake years ago. They are still open, and still delicious.
Madeline putting in the first cut.
Well, like I said, after that I have been in bed since Saturday midnight. Finally starting to feel better, unfortunately Roanna thinks she may have caught whatever I had.....
Talk to everyone later
Ian
