A birthday

A few photos from our lunchtime celebration of my big 3-0 birthday today. Yep, I'm really an adult now.
We had a great time together with people we hold dear, which is what makes life special. In the first photo, I'm opening a gift from Sue, Gord and Mary with a gift card to the Glen Ivy Day Spa - after my spa trip with Kelly and this upcoming trip, this could become a regular addiction for me! Uh oh!
On the left are Andy and Jen, our friends who came out to visit us in October 2007, and on the right are JT and Jim.
Across the table are Jenny, Dean, Gord, Mary and Sue, and you see Gord taking advantage of one of two portable heaters the restaurant staff brought in to warm the freezing room they tucked our rather large party into. (And, it was freezing today - the low was supposed to be 25 last night, and the high was just above the freezing point.)
Then you see Andy and Stace, and then Cora, who is suffering from a cold and spent much of the three-hour lunch on my lap, asleep.

On Sunday we will drive to London, where Stace, Cora and I will stay in a hotel near Heathrow before our flight home on Monday.

It was so nice to see you all, and to be with you on your birthday Lisa.
The photos came out well, a great keepsake.
We hope you have a safe journey home, and hope Cora will be OK.
Look forward to following the progress of the new house.
Will be in touch soon
Jenny & Cougs.
