Fran’s Birthday <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy birthday is on Saturday June 5th. If it was a normal year Chris Rowntree, Donna Symington & one of my former pastors would be going to a Blue Jay game at the Rogers Centre. The year I was 70 there were about 20 of us who did that.\u201d  <\/em>Even though you couldn\u2019t go to the game, at least they won for you. Maybe you could arrange a zoom meeting with everyone so that you can watch the game together.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aaron’s Birthday <\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Aaron hasn\u2019t thought about celebrating his birthday this year but he has shared a memory from a previous year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen I turned 40 my parents and siblings organized a Limo to take me and my family to the Sunday AM Bluegrass Brunch at the Dakota tavern, and they also knew I wanted a fancy resophonic guitar so they all pitched in toward that gift that I bought myself a few months later.\u201d <\/em>Have we heard you play this guitar? Is it still your favourite? <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elaine’s Birthday<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI usually celebrate my birthday by having dinner out with friends or invite a larger group of friends over for a get together if it’s a significant one. Last year I turned 70 and had a couple of major travel plans to celebrate, including an Antarctica cruise in February and a trip to Newfoundland in July with my girlfriend from England,  who is 3 days older than me. Of course due to the pandemic none of this happened so I guess I’m still 69! I moved to a new home just before my birthday last year so I wanted to have a small birthday and housewarming party the same weekend. We had a come and go on my deck, just going indoors for apps and desserts. Luckily Doug Ford increased the maximum gathering size from 5 to 10 people a few days before the party. I had visions of drawing chalk lines on the sidewalk 6 feet apart and limiting people’s visiting time. And I had a birthday cake but wasn’t allowed to blow out the candles, had to wave them out due to COVID!  <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With regard to celebrating this year it will depend on what is allowed, maybe take out food at a picnic table?\u201d<\/em> It looks like you will be lucky again this year to have 10 people to celebrate with you.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
