Oops! I guess I won't fool anybody by dating this June 1 and claiming in got lost in the mail. I've been pretty busy at work but that's no excuse. I could say my computer crashed and I just got back on line, yeah, yeah, that's it, my computer crashed and I just got back on line. Or! Or! My dog ate my keyboard, oh yeah I don't have a dog. How about my new diet has weakened my resolve, my nutritionist has me on a no sugar diet, it's eliminated 97 per cent of what I usually eat. My resolve isn't all it's weakened. Or... maybe I'm getting nastalgic and wanted to remember the beginning of Ed's Edition, when we had 1400 comments on the first post. The truth is I've been... I can't think of the word...It means something like, to put off until another day or time; defer; delay. Also postponing, dilly dallying, dawdling, shilly shallying, loafing and a number of others. Anyway, whatever that word is I'm really good at it.
Have a great day
Loved

It's great that you didn't post on the first. This way we got a really funny opening to the June Blog. Thanks Loved One.

I agree Loved, a drop of a delay led to a bucket of delights. Cheers!

BTW...Thom,
Check the May 1 posting for your June 7th birthday wishes.
No matter what the posting, we're enjoying a wee dram in honour of your 48th. As they say in Italy. . . cin, cin!

Laughing out loud!
Loved, you are loved.
Same goes for the whole clan.

It's nice to be back in Canada for holiday time with family. We're in BC this week. Go Canucks!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JOSEPH!
It is hard for us to recall the last time we saw you in Regina. We can hardly imagine that you are 15 years old today.
We wonder whether you are still interested in stuff about Scotland and especially in seeing one of those strange-looking Highland cows.
Anyway, Joseph, congratulations on this 15th birthday celebration. We wish you a great day with your family and friends. May you have many more birthdays and a lifetime of new discoveries.
Lots of love,
Louise and David

We have not forgotten that this is a special day for you Tricia. It's 3 years since your third bone-marrow transplant and we are marking the occasion with a toast to life. Cheers!
As we reflect on this 2011 milestone, we are once again reminded that each new day, however "ordinary", is a gift; and all we have to do is unwrap it.
Lots of love,
Louise and David

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, LORRAINE AND THOMAS!
Since your wedding four years ago today, the summer solstice has added meaning for us.
On this June 21st day we celebrate the joy of a new season right along with the anniversary of a very special couple in our lives -YOU.
Today we will be driving from Calgary to Kelowna, enjoying the beauty of the mountains and feeling the freedom of summer's warmth. You will be in our thoughts as we make our journey and at the end of the road we will raise our glasses in a toast your happy marriage. Cheers!
Congratulations and best wishes!
Lots of love,

Oh Happy Day! We have arrived in Kimberley and we have found an Internet connection.
We are having a great holiday, with ideal weather and lots of fun things to do with our time. Not being able to go on line has not been a hardship but it has been an inconvenience.
Now we have all the comforts of home!
Ooops, I got so excited I pressed enter twice!

We did not forget your July 4th birthday, Amy. In fact, we were relaxing in the warmth and steam of Radium Hot Springs as we celebrated your 33rd. Cheers!
We hope you and the family had a wonderful Canada Day weekend and a nice birthday celebration in Toronto yesterday.
Congratulations and many happy returns of this day!

As we made our drive from Radium Hot Springs to Kimberley, we remembered you on your 23rd birthday.
We hope that you are having as nice a day in Saskatchewan as we are enjoying in sunny British Columbia. The fact that we are able to greet you on the blog is "the icing on the cake" for us.
Have a great birthday celebration with friends and family.

Here in Kimberley we are continuing to enjoy the golfing holiday that Paul arranged for David and himself. It has been lots of fun for me as well.
After today's round on Shadow Mountain, the three of us will toast your good health and happiness. Have a good birthday. Cheers!

Somehow we missed posting wishes for your July 7th birthday. We hope you had a very good day. How could it be otherwise with Presley and Corson there, to share in the celebration?
Tonight we will raise a toast to you at 32. May the coming year be one of your best and may it be filled with good health and happiness for you and your family.

Today you also beat Louise to the age of 69 by 20 days. Congratulations!
This morning we saw a sign that read, "I plan to live forever . . . . so far, so good. We thought you'd appreciate the humour as you celebrate 69 years of the good life. Here's to many more. Cheers!

It's not really necessary for us to post a greeting on the blog because we are right here in Westbank with you on this special day. That doesn't happen very often, does it?
Anyway, we wish you many happy returns of this day as we celebrate with you.
Let's do this more often, eh! Cheers!

Belated Birthday Greetings, Brian!
Your July 18th birthday did not go by unnoticed. In fact, I had no problem filling a glass of wine for raising a toast in your honour that day.
On the other hand, locating a computer for accessing the Internet was not so easy. On your special day, I was at a reunion in Chautauqua, NY with two friends from my youth. In the midst of our fun, I wished you as many good memories and as much happiness as we were finding in our celebration of friendship across the years.
I hope your birthday was a happy one. May the year ahead be one of the best for you. Cheers!
Love and warm wishes,
Louise

Happy Anniversary, BJ and Bob!
I cannot believe that I am lucky enough to be spending this anniversary day with you.
It began with our pre-arranged meeting in Buffalo, NY for a delightful drive back to Ottawa.
I met your reliable GPS, "Gypsy" who calmly and accurately guided us home.
In the course of the day we had lunch together, stopped on the roadside for an afternoon coffee break and shared supper in your Ottawa home. Together the three of us watched the return of rabbits, birds and squirrels, grateful to have you home again.
Thanks for making your Anniversary Day so special for me, too.
May the coming year gift you with many joyful days and an abundance of life's surprises. Cheers!
Lots of love, Lucy

Belated Birthday Greetings, Shawn!
Somehow the 22nd of July passed me by without notice. In fact, I was spending my first full day in our nation's capital with Betty Jo and Bob.
Now that David has joined me here from British Columbia, wwe will take time to raise a belated birthday toast to you at 36. Cheers!
We hope your Friday celebration was just the beginning of a happy weekend with friends and family. Good luck in the year ahead!

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY WEEKEND,
ANN-MARIE AND MICHAEL!
Your July 23rd anniversary is still on our minds today. Two days ago, I arrived in Ottawa from Chautauqua, NY and now David has joined me here from Westbank, BC.
Already it is past the time for us to pour ourselves a wee dram and salute the two of you on your 17th wedding anniversary. Before this day is finished we will do exactly that.
Congratulations and best wishes for many more years of personal happiness and family joy.
Cheers and lots of love,
Louise and David

You can always count on the birthday greeter to come up with a poem or prose on that person's special day. What happens when that special day is that of the birthday greeter, well, let me say "Happy Birthday Louise!" Thank you for the greetings throughout the year. I would raise a wee dram as a toast, then of course I would be toasted. Perhaps a slurpee is in order.
Have a great day

Happy Birthday Louise.
I hope this is your best birthday ever. I loved Ed's greetings to you, and I join him in raising a toast to you. Not a wee dram or a slurpee, but a cup of coffee. Buon Compleanno!
Love,
ME xoxoxo
Thank you for the special blog greetings on my birthday. I am honoured by your kind thoughts and generous salutations. For my part, I WILL drink a wee dram in a toast to you in return. Cin cin!
