Growing up thousands of miles from any aunts, uncles, cousins or grandparents, I am always charmed at Doug's family gatherings. It seems, in Waterloo, with the snap of fingers, dozens of related people can be called to one place to celebrate their relationship. Tonight, Carol hosted a delicious dinner for about 20 people plus various small boys, who moved too quickly to be named. The warmth, friendliness, concern and conviviality of mere mortals was spirited to this one place with such ease and intention.
Dean, who is coincidently, attending the SSA Conference (statisticians) at U of Guelph, was able to join us.
The dishes are done, the food is out away and we are watching geriatric rock and roll on PBS - a sort of British Invasion type of retrospective. "Mrs. Brown, You've Got A Lovely Daughter...lalala"
