time flies...

It's true, it really does fly by when you're having fun!  And the last few weeks for me has been FULL of fun.  

First off was Bryan's birthday - 50th to be exact!  I had been told no party or anything elaborate, but oh well... a party it was!  Nothing fancy, just a BBQ with friends bringing tons of food.   The highlight though?  The cake.  You see, Bryan works for a company that does work with Google, and he's just fascinated by the magic that Google produces.  So this was his cake, produced by a local cake designer, RMC Cake Creations (thank you Rachael!) and it was AMAZING!   Such amazing talent.  

The next few days was spent with family in from Winnipeg and it was fantastic.  Great weather, great meals and most of all, precious time with my sister-cousin (she really is the sister I never had), her baby boy and my Auntie.   We had a blast and I was reminded just how fortunate we are to get to spend time together, even if it's just for a few days once a year.

Fast forward to last weekend spent in Picton, Ontario with great friends (she, also celebrating her birthday) at the Great Canadian Cheese Festival!   Great location to stay if you're looking to make your way around one of the most beautiful areas in Ontario overlooking Lake Ontario.  Lots of cycling, lots of wineries (my personal favourite, Sandbanks Estate Winery - the baco noir is delightful as is the rose.  I mean, why try and decide?!  Another favourite, Buddha Dog for the most amazing gourmet hot dogs with the toppings to match.  Oh and homemade basil blueberry lemonade - YUM!  B and I each got the flight of 3 - the server picks the toppings for 3 hot dogs - one sweet, one savoury, one spicy.   They've got a good thing going here - we will definitely be back. 

And this weekend, a great fundraiser BBQ for the not-for-profit I volunteer for The Hub, a recreation association aimed at making fitness accessible to everyone in the surrounding communities.  Our first objective is re-opening a pool and the BBQ fundraiser was held today as part of Doors Open to educate people on what we're doing and give them tours of the facilities.

Pretty cool 3 weeks and though it definitely has flown by, I've truly enjoyed every busy, exhausting moment of it all!
