This year Mom and Dad celebrate 52 years of marriage. Wow!
Every year we say, "This year, we are going to keep it simple." Yeah, that never happens. . . ..
Mom secretly makes extra dishes and Dad takes an early morning walk to pick wild flowers to fashion into two amazing bouquets. Cream puffs of amazing proportions are whipped up, potatoes peeled and the list goes on.
The 6th Annual Talent Show was a roaring success. Acts included:
- 'Oh Canada' sung by Emma and Jackson.
- 'As Time Goes By' sung by Ty's Great-Grandpa.
- Grandma Loenen shows the bears and sweaters she knits for children in third-world countries
- Grandpa Loenen demonstrates how to be Superman with a talk and demonstration of his wooden pulleys that he made for the Lady Jayne (wooden sailboat).
- Marianne and myself presented the "Sister Act: A Day in the Life of Hotel Lake". Shaelynn and Yvette were our 'arms'.
- Kestrel shares an amazing mental math trick followed by the now famous disappearing watermelon trick. She cuts up a watermelon and everyone lines up for a piece and voila, the watermelon has disappeared!
