Surprise surprise❣️ ❣️ ❣️

My mom knew she was going to Lakeside, but she DIDN’T know that she was going to be staying in our old cottage. Laura managed to rent it for the week. When we arrived, these three were sitting outside to welcome us. My mom was overwhelmed with joy and happiness. Speechless.

What a great opportunity. So many memories there!

The lightest trip to Lakeside ever?!

I had the privilege of taking my mom up to Lakeside to join Laura, Ian and Caroline for a day or two last week. At least I still found a use for my trailer hitch. My dad would have been proud ;)

I guess I made a good impression on Pebbles?

She even jumped up into my lap and laid there for a bit!

When I showed this to the kids, Andy said, “Are we just gonna ignore the fact that dad created a new CheezIt flavor?! Hahahahaha

A weekend of hard work

We pizza and a game of giant Scrabble with John and Savannah after wearing ourselves out helping them get their basement useable again all weekend last weekend. I even won the game; probably only because Julie joined late 🤪

A pretty view from John and Savannah’s kitchen

Especially with her stained glass projects. Janice would be happy to see that Savannah is cultivating her gardens.

100 years when Janice was born

We uncovered this Bible Janice bought when she found it was 100 years old when she was born!

We’re digging up good memories in John’s basement

I netted a Minion during our dump run! 🤪

Fun seeing John working with his Grampy’s tape measure❣️

John has a cool jelly fish lava lamp!

Cool Journey pics

Ok, today’s post is just some cool pics from the Journey concert Julie and I saw a weekend ago. I hope my camera did it justice. We were all the way at the opposite end of the arena from the stage. We liked our seats, enjoyed the show, and relived memories from the mid to late 80’s when we first met 🤪

They even broke out a Cincinnati Cyclones jersey at one point hahaha.
