So I’ve been a craptastic blogger as of late. I’m not going to give you any cool excuses, because really, I don’t have any, but I had a great weekend and I’m going to tell you about it.
On Saturday I went to a wedding. My mom was at a different wedding in Halifax, so my dad and I went to the one in Toronto. It was someone my brother went to school with since Kindergarten, who was teaching English in Japan at the same time as him, and who has always been a friend to the whole family. She met her husband Tariq while she was in Japan. He’s a super nice guy and I know they will have a fun life together. This was the first Muslim wedding I’ve been to. I thought the ceremony was really interesting, and honestly not that different from some of the more traditional Christian weddings I’ve been to. I spent the night talking to Lambton County farmers who are kind and fun, but there was one dud in the group, and she was beside me. It was a great night.
Sunday I went to Forest to experience Lambton county in person. Lemmers’ mom threw her a baby shower, so I went and hung out with Lemmers, Maggie and Kathie. Showers in general aren’t exciting, and this one was no exception, but Lem made me do stuff and that helped pass the time quickly. I’m making a blanket for young Galaxar, but I only have two blocks done, so I promised that the blanket would be normal bed-sized and done by the time Galaxar makes it into that bed. Lem got lots of lovely baby things, and everyone was nice, but I still think showers are boring and … I’ll get into it another day. After the shower, the ladies I went to high school with met up with all the men folk of the group and had fun at the Tim Horton’s. After that I went to the homestead to wait for Mom to return from Halifax. I spent a couple of hours hanging out with my parents before they leave on their great adventure.
It was a long drive home, and I didn’t get much sleep either night, but I guess that’s what week days are for. It was a great weekend, and next weekend is sure to be just as fun.
