Alex turns 45 in Venice

Wrights and Drewetts fêtent in Venice

Alex Wright turned 45 this past April - the 18th I believe, and to celebrate she planned a family vacation to Venice. She, Peter and Fraser were accompanied by Liz & Rob, Ashley and jeff, Lynne and Aunt Pat & Roy. What fun. Of course the less fu part was that their trip coincided with the volcano blowing its top thus putting a full stop to air traffic in the 'hood. Once again Mother Nature was reminding us just who is boss. Lynne kindly provided the following photos, but I happened to steal a quick look at Roy's library of photos, and I must say, there are blog worthy indeed.

I experienced some difficulty in uploading the photos Lynne had forwarded to me, but this file uploaded while the others refused to. I am an expert blogger until operations go wrong - I am so quick to jump ship it is truly shameful! I am a fair weather blogger. The end result is that only one of Lynne's photos would upload, but I promise to post more someday... I think we all get the "picture" though - it was a fabulous trip. Happy Birthday Alex.

Aunt Dawn in Anguilla

To round things off, I thought I would post the photos Janis McKeag sent me. Aunt Dawn was in Anguilla over spring break. They are wearing their Easter bonnets; Grnadma would be so proud!

Pip, Janis's husband is seen here giving Aunt Dawn a hand with his luggage. Pip will be back in Canada in July when Scott Reece needs a BBQ chef for his lakeside wedding.

I will sign off now so that I can tune into the last period and a half of the Montreal - Pittsburgh game. Go Habs!
