60th Wedding Anniversary

My Grandparents; Edwin & Veva Clegg on their 60th Wedding Anniversary.

My Grandparents were celebrating their 60th Wedding Anniversary this April. It jus so happened that I was tracking off on the day before their party, so for me the timing couldn't have been better. Ryan rode down in the car with my parents and little brother on Thursday night. I worked all day on Friday and Jess drove Evan and I to the airport that evening. Friday night we had the party! It was a lot of fun and I was glad that I got to go. The only grandchildren that weren't able to come were my sister, Jess and Mikey. Jess had Emry just a few weeks previous and Emry was still on oxygen, not to mention only a couple of weeks old. Mikey had previous plans to attend a race.
The party turned out really nice. Marsha and Jean did the flowers for the tables. The food was catered by a local taco shop. Mike & Robin did the drinks. Michelle and I helped put the video montage together. A few of us got up and told some funny stories of Ed & Veva. We danced, we ate cake, and we called it a night!
More to come on the trip to Califonia later.


The Anniversary Cake! It was beautiful and quite tasty too!The Lakeside Community center just before everyone came. It turned out so pretty!

Spode Dish Factory

I went with a few friends on a mommy-field trip to the Spode Dish factory in Malaysia.  We had the best time and it was an experience I won't soon forget.  We met at Becky's in the morning and got our three car caravan ready to go.  We said a prayer, did a cheer and were off at about 9 am.  We crossed the border without any issues (except for toll top-up cards) and hit the road.  In about an hour we arrived at this little side-of-the-road pottery market.  It was typical of a third-world place. True Outlet shopping.  There was a nice aluminum roof and some big fans to keep us cool.  The plates were very dusty from being outside so long but there were so many lovely treasures.  We all had a good time just wandering around searching for new dishes. I was looking for a set of every-day dishes and anything else was a bonus in my mind.  Spode is a European brand that outsources production to Malaysia.  Their retail cost is pretty high...

Skiing

This winter has been AWFUL so far.  I just KNEW it would be too!  We've had two very mild winters back to back and I knew that meant we would have to pay for it this year.   The inversion has been so bad this year that since Christmas it's been above 30 degrees like 3 or 4 times!!! Most days, it's been in the teens or lower.  I've been substituting for a teacher who was on maternity leave since December 10th.  So many inside recess days, I thought I was going to lose my mind.   My long-term job ended on Friday and with Martin Luther King Junior day on Monday, I just really wanted to get out of the inversion.  I tried to convince Colin to go to Las Vegas with me but we decided that wasn't very realistic, still cold there too.   Then I proposed skiing and we both decided it would be really fun to take the boys!  I was really pretty nervous about teaching both of the boys but the day was so amazing I couldn't even believe it.  ...
