VICTORIA DAY

Last night we were at Shady Lanes for their annual Victoria Day party and as usual it was great fun. John had the big bon fire going and the water boiling for the corn boil. Probably the best part of the night was seeing Nick having fun without any booze in him.

We had corn, hamburgers, hot dogs and water and lots of fun. Mikki was her usual entertaining self, played soccer with Nathan, and gave Linda many anxious moments by running past the fire on many occasions.

There was some doubt whether the rain which lasted all day, would spoil things but it stopped in time for the party. The wind was quite cold especially for Lisa who came there half dressed but the rest of us dressed for the occasion, even Nick had to put on extra clothes since he had no alcy in his system to numb the cold.

Nick and Andrew were in charge of the fireworks and did a great job of it while Mikki announced what the name of every one before it was launched plus worrying Linda to death as she kept running past the fire with the info.

It was a great night, Nathan had fun playing soccer,TJ and Pam had a good time, most of the grass was dry and not burning, of course the fire was in the fire pit.

The cold wind finally took it's toll shortly after the actual fireworks.

The main thing was everybody had FUN.
