Church Picnic

It was a beautiful day for a Church Picnic held at our City Park. The temperatures were in the 80's F, but there was lots of gorgeous big shade trees that kept us cool.

There was BBQ hamburgers and hotdogs for the kids. Everyone brought a dish so there were lovely salads, side dishes and deserts to enjoy.

This is Mia, a friend's Yorkie that always reminds me of little Max from Tucson.

Lots of good conversation and company. Pictured here is my other half, Norm Grenier, Margaret and Harvey (our next door neighbors)

Our Parish Priest, Father Leandro, making his rounds, socializing. (Yellow shirt).

There were games for the kids and adults alike as well as raffle prizes. Ray and I only stayed a couple of hours because I was still suffering from a feed of renegade scallops from a couple nights ago and was still not feeling that well. So it was home to the AC and a little nap for us.

Guess Who's coming for Dinner?

Ray and I were having supper this evening, when we were joined outside by a Doe and her Fawn who decided to eat with us! They were chowin' down on the last of my Cherry Tomato Plant. We didn't mind; we'd eaten enough over the past few weeks to last us until next year.

It didn't take them long to finish the last of the 'maters off. :D

A little drink from our fountain, and they were off. See ya next time! :D

Catholic Couples Group - August 22, 2009

There are a few couples from our church, Sacred Heart in Grand Forks, that get together and meet every 2-3 months. We have visited other towns and had Brunch, Bowling, Christmas Party, etc. On August 22 we decided on a BBQ at one of the couples home. Dennis and Joyce have a lovely home on the banks of the Grandby River, about 12 km from the city. What a gorgeous setting. That Saturday was a little cooler than we had been experiencing so it was great to hang out and play a few lawn games, enjoy some cocktails and chat. We always have lots to laugh about and a good time was enjoyed by all.

Lovely pond fed from the river.












Caught Ray with a mouthful here. :)
