Walk a lake

Sept 1, 2017

We are heading to the cabin at Wakaw Lake for the annual Matlock reunion. It's eight of us, the hosts, Shirley and Gary, sister Joan and Dennis from Lumsden, brother Terry and Cathy from Lumsden and Deanie and myself. This is the 27 th year. We usually have it on the August long, but the Ebert's family had a full reunion this year. 167 people at that one. They outnumbered us for the date. We are looking forward to a great weekend.

Have a great one yourselves

๐Ÿ‘‹Hi there Edward!
One of the first things I did today was check to see if September had come to the blog, and it has๐Ÿ“„. Thank you!

๐Ÿ‘ฃWe hope you and Deanie have a wonderful Wakaw Lake weekend at the 27th annual Matlock Family Reunion.๐Ÿš— Eight sounds like a particularly nice number for having conversations, sharing meals and strengthening family ties.๐Ÿด๐Ÿท๐ŸŽ† Enjoy!๐Ÿป

๐Ÿ’ŒLots of love,
Louise and David

Hi Loved,
Have a great family weekend in Wakaw.
The first weekend in September in Ottawa is the hot-air balloon festival. About 150 balloons take part and they go up every morning and evening (wind and weather permitting.) Always fun to watch.
Glad to see a September 1st blog entry.
Love, BJ

This is bound to be a birthday with a difference: ๐ŸŽ†the first you have celebrated in Postville, Newfoundland and very likely still on your own in that remote settlement๐Ÿ‘ฉ. We know it's where you want to be, though, and we hope all is well there on this special Saturday in September๐ŸŽ‚.

๐Ÿ’ŒAs we so often do on such occasions, we will raise a birthday toast before the day is through. ๐Ÿ’žWe join family and friends in wishing you a memorable birthday ๐Ÿก and another year of the happiness that is found in realizing your dreams in unique and exciting ways.๐Ÿ”ฎ Cheers๐Ÿป!

Your wishes are always very beautiful and much appreciated. You do bring out the best in people.

You are very welcome Mary Ellen. I'm glad to hear that you're thinking 'young'. (I've heard that we are only as old as we feel.) Stay young at heart and keep right on loving that hero of yours.
