Friends, Gourmet Dinner, Veteran's day and Dine'n'Dash!

Looking over the last month, we had quite a number of dinner parties and a breakfast!

Mark and Linda along with Malcolm and Ashleigh came over one weekend. It was great to catchup with them again, especially since visiting could only be one sided during the visa saga.


 Ashleigh and Shantel

Shantel loves reading and Taleesha is the 'happy' recipient!

We also had our annual gourmet dinner with the Rock/Hillview Road residents! Always fun!



Two little friends, Ruth and Katelyn came over one morning to play!


Shantel finished her soccer games. She had fun although she did seem to dance on the field rather than run after the ball!

Shantel is the third pink girl from the left.

Oldest and youngest!


On the 11th of November, it was Veterans Day (Remembrance Day in Australia!) and the kids had a day off school! So we had a breakfast together with the deMooys (minus Rick!). We had bacon and eggs, sausages, tomatoes, mushrooms, waffles, dutch rusk with sprinkles, yoghurt and fruit! 
We had a very relaxing morning!



Umm......yeah! A selfie!


And for those who might want to see me, another photo! 
(I'm usually like to hide on the other side of the camera!)

Bernice and myself made a big batch of sausage rolls! It's been awhile since we made or had these! They were very good!



Just this past Friday was Dine and Dash! We hosted appetizers and had pumpkin soup, sausage rolls, honey and garlic chicken wings, deviled eggs, dip and crackers, prawn cocktail and a veggie platter. We then went to two other places for dinner and dessert. It was a fun evening and socialized with lots of people!



This morning (Sunday) we woke up to a snow dusting on the foothills. A very pretty sight! Below is the raspberries with Sumas Mountain in the background. And with the rain we've had in the past few days, 'our' waterfall is running again. Another pretty sight!





And we have a new face around here! Anthea has a boyfriend! Marc B! Welcome to the family Marc!  We wish you both a beautiful friendship as you learn more about each other. 

They look pretty happy, don't you agree!


Well, that's about it for our update! 

This week is wreath making! And next week we hope to celebrate Thanksgiving.

The weather is getting colder! Nights are around 1-4 degrees Celsius!


Thanks for checking in!
