Boxing Day Brunch

Yesterday was boxing day.....similar to the US "Black Friday" day after Thanksgiving. The biggest retail day in Canada. Boxing Day is a legal holiday in Canada and people actually get together for big family meals.

We were invited to a Boxing Day Brunch by two of Becky's friends Nancy and Heather. Heather has duel citizenship but is originally from California. It was very sweet of them to do this and brunch was wonderful. We had banana buckwheat pancakes with choke cherry syrup, and sausage.

They were delightful and very friendly. We are so glad that our daughter has so many wonderful supportive friends. We also met up with some special people that we adore.

We met the Friesons at Becky and Jerry's wedding reception and formed an instant bond. Both Randal and Laura blog so we have kept up with them through "peeking in on their life" as they record it.

We met at a coffee shop called "The Living Room". It was good to catch up on one and another and Becky swears Randal reminds her of Mr. Wonderful. So you know I had to get a picture of the three of them together.

Becky was able to purchase a small chest deep freeze yesterday. Dear old Dad was instrumental in loading, balancing, and roping it in her trunk till we could get it home. It will certainly be helpful to be able to store pre-made casseroles and easy to cook food for when baby comes.

The days are flying by way to quickly. We will be leaving early Friday morning and there is still so much we want to accomplish. More later.
