I can hardly believe it myself, but here I am posting 2 days in a row!!! Erin is working away at some art projects, so I thought I would take a few minutes to check in. Believe it or not, a lot can happen in less than 24 hours!!
Last night Gord and Erin went to my neice Anestasia's 19th birthday party. We decided long ago that since she was now legal, the only suitable gift would be some booze!! I went to the liquour store yesterday afternoon and picked her up a gigantic bottle of Corona in a gift pack, and a six-pack of holiday shooters. Just what the new 'I can now drink legally' girl needs!! I guess they had a good time. Erin absolutely loves her Aunt Rita, so Gord tells me Erin spent most of the evening with her. Rita is absolutely amazing with kids (that's why I think it comes naturally to her daughter Emily too) and I don't think Erin minds being doted on too badly!!
I think I mentioned yesterday that I was taking Dee out for a belated birthday dinner (to make up for the one she had to pay for herself!!). We went to the Brigadoon restaurant in Oxford Mills - one of my favourites. If you have been, you know what I am talking about. If not, you should make a point of getting there one day. Dee called me from Ottawa yesterday to see if we could add a couple of more people to the reservation - hey, the more the merrier when you are eating good food and drinking good wine!! So we were joined by her friends Liz (who I have known for some time now) and Terry. We had a great evening. I'm glad we had an early dinner reservation because we were not out of there until about 7:45pm. I had a fabulous chicken dish, Dee had prime rib, and the other girls had a different chicken dish. I think I am going to take Gord there for our anniversary coming up in a couple of weeks. We then all went into Merrickville for the annual Christmas in Merrickville event. They run activities all day and the shops stay open until 9:00pm. We took a stroll about and picked up a couple of things, then Dee and I said goodbye to Liz and Terry and we went back to my place for a bit. Erin was sleeping by this time (as was Gord - a little tired from all of the fresh air pheasant hunting earlier in the day!!).
A little TV - glad to see the Senators won again - then it was off to bed for me too!
This morning Erin and I made some cookies - check out her serious face in the pics!!! She actually likes to eat the raw cookie dough better than she likes to eat the actual baked cookies!!! Gord is skeet shooting right now, and I expect he will be home soon. Not much more exciting in my weekend, other than to pick up some groceries and to do a bit of work work tonight.
Anyway, enjoy the cookie pics, and until next time.....
