Wow… my “baby” is 15 today. That whole “time flying thing” is getting more and more out of hand! He just wanted a few friends over to eat his favourite meal (chicken parmigiana) and have a cake shaped like a Game Boy. Well… he must comply! He truly was not too demanding!

It has been a week of meeting up with friends from waaaaay back, volunteering at school, running around and hanging around! The pictures taken outside after midnight, under a heat lamp are total rubbish but I care not.. they show we were having fun with our selfies!

Gratitude List
-
It is so wonderful to get together with old friends from elementary (!) school and walking downtown Montreal after midnight on a Friday night.
-
Being able to sit on a terrasse on October 24th without a coat on (yes, yes, there were heat lamps, but still…
-
Helping out at the school, getting to know the students and staff, feeling useful.
-
Having a friend (yes, Patti, I am mentioning our get-together) inspire and encourage you and let you know she believes in you is so heart-warming.
-
Watching hubby and son working together instead of arguing is beyond the best!
Ah, that’s a lovely post!

That cake is awesome! My husband is surprised that your son wanted a Game Boy color, rather than an original Game Boy or a DS. LOL
