Proud Godmother (that would be me!)

MONDAY, AUGUST 6, 2012

Drove to Gwen's home near Oakbank - she is my goddaughter, my best friend, Olga's daughter. Olga passed away in 1988. Gwen and Brian have 5 acres, a beautiful home and a large garden. How do I know she's Olga's daughter? Duh! Just the yard and garden would tell me that.- checked out the garden, picked some beans and then watched most of the BC/Toronto game - After a lovely dinner of chicken, ribs, fresh potatoes, zucchini, onions, dill, beans and cucumbers from her garden, Gwen & I drove to Belair and surprised her aunt and uncle, Jean & Monte. Had tea and a very nice visit with them. On the way home we had a heart to heart conversation about her Mom and other things. What a great day and evening! Thanks Gwen & Brian for a great afternoon and evening!.

Invited to Darren & Michaela's for dinner - Darren is also my godson - the son of Dan's sister Dorothy. Darren, Michaels and their family, Steven, Nicholas and Jessica are big football (Bombers, of course) fans as well as hockey fans (Boston), so we had a lot in common. Cheryl joined us for a great dinner of roast beef, yorkshire pudding, potatoes with carrots and bacon, salads and buns. Terry came from Yorkshire and loved yorkshire pudding, so we enjoyed them in honor of him. After dinner we watched DVD's of Dan, Evelyn & Leonard - shed a few tears, but mostly laughter. Thanks Darren, Michaela, Cheryl, Steven & Jessica for a lovely evening! Thanks to Cheryl for guiding me back to Fermor Ave.

I feel so blessed to be Gwen and Darren's godmother - they make me so proud!
