Tonight began our celebration. Andrew, Christina, Kate, Mary Frances and Molly joined us at Positano's in Bethesda. We drank sparkling wine from Italy and toasted each other all evening, especially to Family...and friends!!. But that is another story for a later date. Positano's is a splendid place to take children. The food is excellent and in addition, they seem to love having the children, so of course, the children are always on their best behavior. The evening was very festive and pleasant. Every night our circle of friends and family will grow, while the whole clan will be together in Nova Scotia, helping to celebrate our 50Th Anniversary. We will have a grand party.
So now we are ready. Our vehicles are in the garage and the bags are packed. The boarding passes are in my pocket. Andrew will pick us up at six o'clock, for our 8:50 flight direct to Halifax. Mr. Gaskell will pick us up at the airport at noon or shortly after. Soon we will be home by the shore. It seems ages since we were there, but actually it has only been two weeks. But it has been two busy weeks, both at work and at the farm. Now the fun begins. Tomorrow night we dine with the Ely Family at their home next door. Their three children and spouses and children will all be there, along with Gill and her sister and her two grandchildren. Also the Mitchell's. It will be noisy but we will love it all. Then later that evening David and Suzanne, Sarah, Abigail, Allison and Samantha will arrive. Andrew and family come on Saturday, along with all our brothers and sister. The party will just roll on and on. Now we have begun the festivities.
