Birthday Party


JR invited five of his special friends to a pool party to celebrate his birthday. They also helped him blow out the candle on the raisin pie he requested instead of a cake.

West Coast



We made a trip to the west coast to attend a funeral service for my Uncle Don. While this was a sad occasion it was also enjoyable to see all of my Falconer relatives and to spend time with the Norgards who have recently purchased "Island Breeze"and took us sailing

Speakeasy


This year the CWC President's Gala was a "Speakeasy" We entered down a long dark alley and had to knock three times to be admitted. Everyone was dressed in period costume and dining and dancing in this atmosphere were a lot of fun.

Oxford










We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Oxford with the M'akls. It was wonderful to have time to chat with Lucinda, to give and receive hugs, kisses and love from the boys and find out about Kevin's work. We ventured out on excursions with the boys most days and gave Lucinda time to do some quilting.Jan and Lloyd joined us for Thanksgiving dinner at a local pub followed by enjoyment of pumpkin and raisin pie at Kestrel Lodge. Jan is there for surgery she wasn't able to arrange here! These are precious times we experience only a few times a year.

London








We stayed in a flat near Kensington Gardens belonging to a friend of Beth and Den and walked to see Buckingham Palace, Westminster Cathedral, Westminster Abbey,Big Ben, The Eye, The Tower and Tower Bridge, The Globe Theatre, St Paul's Cathedral
and took a boat trip down the Thames to Greenwich.We were able to get tickets to see Warhorse which is a very touching story and the puppetry of the life size horses was incredible.
