Two major adventures today - we were up early to attend church service at our former parish, St. Luke's Anglican. It was here that Dorothy and I were married, January 20, 1979.

| St. Luke's - est. 1890 |
 |
| We appreciated sharing communion, and thought of our friends back at St. Thomas, Sherwood Park |
We assumed we probably would not know anyone but we soon met Lorraine, who had attended our wedding; and Ed, who managed a meat shop we used to shop at when we wanted that special roast for a big occasion. He is an engaging character and told us stories about his new career in the scrap metal business. We were also welcomed by many others, including the rector and the rector's wife. It has been many years since we were members of a church in which the rector's spouse was actively involved.

Debra, the rector's spouse, is actively involved in church activities.
She is originally from Battleford, SK |
 |
| Franklin, with the rector, Rev. Dr. Ian Ritchie |
 |
| Paul, and our Grandson Andrew and his friend Mackenzie |
The second big adventure started with Paul hosting the family to a sumptuous dinner at Aqua Terra, a fine dining restaurant at the Radisson Hotel in downtown Kingston, in honor of Carylanne's birthday tomorrow..
 |
| our Grand-daughter Kristen and our Grandson Brayden |
And of course, the birthday girl and her mom
Then, it was off to Paul and Carylanne's home for cake and to see Andrew's impressive 180 gal. salt water aquarium
 |
| Dorothy considers fishing as a new career path |
 |
| There's a lot more than fish in this complex and difficult to maintain environment. |
 |
| Andrew enjoys his hobby and has become expert in marine ecology. |
 |
| It might look like Puss 'n Boots but it's the house cat Charlie |
AND, we got to present the scrapbook we made for Carylanne, documenting some of her highlights so far.
So, with full stomachs and warm hearts we completed another day of adventures. Thanks to all for the encouraging comments.
