80 Years Old, 55 Years of Marriage and 5 Children, 7+1 Grandchildren...

Grandpa's 80th Birthday is officially tomorrow (Monday, April 18th). Happy Birthday Grandpa!


We had a wonderful day today, despite the terrible weather and nearly landing in the ditch! It's April and as much as "Spring has Sprung"  - we know in Southwestern Ontario anything in possible!! And that sure rang true today! Crazy snow and slushy road conditions, poor visibility and ofcourse, we just took the snow tires off.

Absent: Uncle David.

I worked nights last night, so getting my rear out of bed this morning was hard! We got ready, and headed to Steve's Restaurant in Markdale (family favourite!) to meet the family. We had a really nice lunch, and then headed back to my Aunt Sandra & Uncle Rick's house for cake and visiting.

Grandpa Abercrombie, with his `Birthday Boy`ribbon - cute! 

It`s been a busy weekend, and I am ready for bed pretty soon! I start on a couple day shifts at my new job this week, which will be a nice change as I have been working all nights so far. Tomorrow I`m taking Neil`s sister Mandi back to Waterloo for the week, and meeting up with my Grandma, Aunt Shirley and Mom in St Jacob`s for a little bit of shopping. 

I`m going to my first Prim Pickins workshop tomorrow night with my sister, Neil`s sister Holli, and her sister-in-law Amber and mother-in-law Ellen! Very excited! We`re making birdhouses!! Stay tuned for the results if they are show-able!
