Happy Birthday

Theresa celebrated her birthday yesterday and it turned out perfectly. With best wishes from her mom and myself the day became a flurry of activity. Theresa's close friend came over with a beautiful rose and an invite to lunch. With a little spare time they shared a small glass of white wine and some good conversation. They were off to their favourite lunch restaurant.

We had planned to do something active and chose to go for a bike ride along part of the Cross Canada Trail along our lakefront. The weather was hot but a nice breeze cooled us as we stopped many times to see the large areas of wild flowers. Of course we took a few pictures. Arriving back at the car we decided to have fish and chips at a Bronte, family owned business and were not disappointed.

Before leaving for home we went to the Oakville Marina and walked out on the pier. There were hundreds of people there fishing, watching the International Boat races, just sitting and enjoying a wonderful evening. I suggested ice cream to complete a great day but Theresa suggested we stop and buy a large box so were could enjoy at home. We did just that and arrived home to find out we missed a visit from daughter number three and her two sons. They left a beautiful bouquet of flowers. So Theresa began the day with flowers and ended it the same way,with flowers. In between all this activity she read E mails and took calls from the family and friends. Daughter number two and family completed the day with calls from Ottawa.

Birthdays are important to us and I was so happy to see another one begin and end on a high note.
