big girl pants, blessed, Christmas, family, food, iPhone, memories, moments, parties, special, widow

came across some photos of a visit with Santa at a Rona Christmas party eleven years ago… it was such fun to take our grandkids and we had a great time…

it was before the store opened and was in the back… there were decorations and lots of gifts for all the kids with treats for everyone… iPhone pictures have certainly improved since then…

reminded me of the CN parties we used to go to when the girls were little… our dear friend Margaret took us for a number of years… they were fancy and great fun too, and the girls always enjoyed them…

I also have a dim memory of kids’ Christmas parties with my dad, where I helped him with set up… I can particularly remember the full size popcorn machine and making popcorn for everyone during the party;-)…

beloved, big girl pants, cane, family, friend, memories, parents, parties, widow

been thinking a lot of our dear friend Margaret…

she was my parents’ neighbour and our good friend since I was about fifteen…

I remember our Chinese food parties on payday Fridays… my beloved and I would go over and mom and dad would come from next door and we would have a delicious dinner…

she enjoyed the girls when they came along and loved spending time with them…

the cane I am using belonged to her…

I can remember saying to her later in her life “you have to put the cane on the ground, not just carry it”…

lovely memories…

big girl pants, parties, shocked, themed

a few days ago my daughter was texting me about a party she is having tonight…

she always gives great parties… her sister does as well…
she had prepared goodie bags, snacks and decorated her space beautifully… she often has a theme and does a great job of pulling it all together…
I was complimenting her on how well it had come together and she responded with: “Cause my mom taught me to throw a great party!”
I was shocked because it hadn’t ever occurred to me that they had learned this from me…
silly really, because for years we catered and before that we often organized parties for our family and friends… they were usually themed as well…
and, as the girls got older they would help with the prep, and even serving at the event…
not sure why this never occurred to me that my party giving ways wouldn’t have passed on to them, lol…
too funny…
