Another fabulous week has come and gone. Canada celebrated it’s 148th birthday, the United States celebrated their 239th anniversary of independence, my boys passed their school year, enjoyed more music and friends and so much more!
Gratitude List
-
Beyond happy both boys passed their school year and quite respectably, too!
-
Thanks to Eric for grilling my veg, to Anouk for putting together the canapés, playing waitress at the party and then coming back to help and to Emma for coming as soon as I cried “help”! Without the three of you, I would not have made it. The guests enjoyed the food (hope the customer did, too!) Gilles? 🙂
-
If Leonard hadn’t told me Adam Cohen was playing one of the free shows at the Jazz Festival I would have totally missed it! So glad I decided to hightail it to Montreal and that Leonard was able to squeeze me in (so I could hang out with him and Steve)
-
Really glad I stayed for Cohen’s second show as I got to hear the few songs I missed! Woot! And he played my favourite. Can you guess which one it is? 😀
-
Two weeks in a row and two totally different groups from high school. How cool that so many people, on such a spur of the moment, made time to get together for a meal and many, MANY laughs? One even driving for 9.5 hours to do so… Of course, I did offer him a guest room for the fee of grilling veg…
Beautiful happy faces!

It’s been a little rock and roll and whenI’ve had a moment, I’ve “flushed” the junk mail and put aside the “will-read-laters”!
No worries, I’m not dissing you!
