Loooong Weekend!

Howdy Doody faithful readers!


So sorry we have been MIA recently! We were up in Vernon (42 Degrees) for my family (Finnerty) reunion. It was hot! Got to see alot of people I haven't seen in almost 15 years! My Auntie Bev did most of the planning/prep and she did a great job. A lucky bonus, we got to see my cousin Eugene! Haven't seen him in more than 20 I'd wager! He lives and teaches in Thailand. It was good to reconnect with people and to meet new Finnertys too!

This long weekend had us travelling through Abbotsford and up Mt Sumas for the Mussellam Family reunion! It was really fun. I ate alot, then, ate some more! The first Mussellam reunion I attended was at Silver Lake, Kelowna back in '95! All the kids I chased, played hide and seek with, and taught poker too are all well into their 20's! They have gotten so much older! Miraculously, I haven't aged a day! hahaha I got to see some of my very favorite Mussellams and Maeve and Madigan got to meet some Mussellam cousins in the same age bracket as they are! So, we are going to try to see more family this year. That is my new year resolution. Yes yes, I realize it is August.. a little late for resolutions.. but thats my goal and I'm stickin' to it!


Big Shout out to Chay and Aaron, CONGRATULATIONS on you bouncing baby boy. And by bouncing, I mean GIGANTIC! Gage was born Sunday Aug 5, 2007 weighing in at a wopping 9lbs 2oz! Way to go.. she gave me a run for my "biggest baby in the family" race.. but fell short by 2.5oz!
