Thursday December 28, 2010. Each year shortly after Christmas we (my brother and sisters) get together for what we refer to as a siblings day since we are not all together for Christmas. We also try every year to have our as close as possible to December 28th since this is our sister Lorna's birthday (and we try every year to celebrate our respective birthdays together).
This Lorna and her husband Paul went to Toronto on Boxing Day to be with their grandchildren and also to celebrate the one year birthday of their grandson who was born last year on December 29th. Lorna planned on returning December 28th, so we planned to have the siblings day then and at the same time surprise Lorna with a birthday dinner.
Sharon got the house keys from Paul before they left and on Thursday Joyce came down from Shawville and her and Sharon went to to Paul and Lorna and got things ready. Barry was working that day so he and his wife Marian would be there after work. I left around 2:00 to go and pick up a vegetable platter and some flowers and arrived at Joan's place around 3:00.
We arrived at Lorna's just after 3.30 but Lorna and Paul had just arrived from Toronto a few minutes before us but it still was a surprise for Lorna because she didn't think we were bringing Joan since this dinner was taking place in the evening.
We sat around and had drinks and talked and then Lorna opened her gifts and around 5:45 we sat down to a dinner of lasagna and ceaser salad with chocolate cake for desert. Joan was getting tire and at 6:30 we left and I put Joan to bed at 7:00.
