Hello Everyone. How are you this day? Welcome to the TPC Blog.

I had such a fun day today. My nephew’s wife is expecting and it was her shower today. The three great Aunts went to the shower and we had such a fun time. It was my sister, my sister in law and myself along with all the nieces and their little ones.

We spent the whole day reminiscing about old times and cracking up with laughter. It’s a wonder we survived.

Like the time when…..

……my sister-in-law did a load of laundry at my parents house in Peterborough and not knowing you had to switch over the water hose to the sink the water went everywhere. My sister-in-law and my Mom were upstairs laughing with the kids and such and they could hear my Dad calling….Frances…Frances….then they looked downstairs and there was my Dad with his feet up still watching TV and yelling for my Mom to come and wipe up the water. My Dad was one of a kind alright. Instead of yelling OMG the water is running all over and running into the laundry room and switching the hose he just sat there calling for my Mom so by the time they came down there was like 3 inches of water. What would Eddie do?….

……my son was a little guy and he was really tired. He was walking around the back yard of my brothers and they have this huge pool. Everyone was around and I was watching him like an eagle eyed Mom and I saw him walking around the pool. He walked right in the water and he didn’t swim. Right in the deep end. I was over there in a flash and before anyone even knew he fell in I had him out of the water. He popped up and said “big water let’s go home now”. I didn’t remember him saying that I just remember running and pulling him out of the water and my heart going 90 miles an hour…..

……my older boy got caught in my Mom’s turn about she had for cans and she couldn’t get him out….

…..the old fashioned bathtub full of minnows where the sump pump splashed its water into in the back of the lot that stayed there winter and summer and the minnows seemed to survive for fishing once again…..

……I can’t remember all of them but there were so many things and so much laughter.

Then to top it all off there was a magician that came for entertainment. My nieces son was the most entertaining though because as the magician was doing his thing he was trying to do the same thing behind him. He was picking up the cards and throwing them and saying look disappear! He was just so cute. He also thought it fun to run up to the little girl his own age and plant a kiss on her cheek with a big hug.

Such fun the day was. Family is always the greatest.

Congratulations Rena and Adam and to my brother as the Family name continues and for the wonderful family he has.
