Haven't heard much from anyone since the Reunion. Madisson and Clayton phoned to let us know they had all arrived safely in Port Moody and we were grateful to them for calling us. We were a little concerned about the power steering pump on the Grand Caravan and had prayed it would not give them any troubles during the trip home. I think everyone in the family was very excited and happy to have had the Port Moody Coopers come and spend such a wonderful if short few days with us. We wish them all every success and happiness as they go back to their wonderful life experience out west. How about a post on the CoopSoup blog eh???

Thank you to all for coming to the reunion and having such a great time. I've thought a lot about how wonderful a time we had. Who knew that feeding ducks could be such a fabulous highlight at a family reunion? Aren't we glad that Chad insisted that we go to the Birds of Prey?

And aren't we happy at how fabulous a day it turned out to be for Mal and Cody's wedding. It was so threatening in the morning. Thanks to all of you for helping to make their day so wonderful.

I've had several people in the family comment that I don't post enough blogs on Warm Chinooks, but I don't always have pictures or anything that interesting to say. But maybe blogs can be more about just keeping everyone informed and involved. That's just a rambling thought. I've thought for a week that I should post something about the wedding and reunion, but didn't really know what to write. Anyway thanks once more for coming and making the week so much fun.

We're back to normal almost. Yard work (which we have seemed to put off a little more since the reunion) has recommenced. There are still lots of flowers blooming and the roses have all put out a bunch of new buds. If the frost will just hold off for a while yet, our gardens should look nice for another month or so. And we have started the newest project, fixing up the rickety old play house. About time eh? Mom envisions slides, fireman poles etc. (We're starting with a new coat of paint and a new lower level floor. Oh and a new ladder onto said floor and steps up to the upper floor). Better stop before we rebuild the whole thing.
