It’s been a long time since we updated this blog. In mid April we took part in a family gathering at Milena and Derek’s place. The idea started with an Easter egg hunt for the kids. The parents and relatives enjoyed watching this, but got more involved when it came time for the barbecue and the wiener roast. It was good to see everyone again – with the exception of a few who were not able to come this time. Towards the end of this enjoyable time we were invited to pose for the traditional family photo. It’s always surprising how we all continue to look so young!
In May Eileen and I had to make a trip to Alberta for the funeral of a sister-in-law who passed away in Medicine Hat.
Also in may we were invited out to the “Ristorante Le Due Cugine”. This was actually at our daughter Monica’s home in New West where she and her cousin Kendra served us a delicious and elaborate Italian Dinner.
