The first day after the conference, we still hadn't had enough of each other, so a few of us went to Drooler's house for a back yard bonfire. Knittery Kate's kids were in attendance, as well as The Chatty Sister, Uncle M, Mr. and Mrs. Crazy Hair Dude as well as ioi and family. We sang songs, ate S'mores and popcorn till everything was sticky and had a really good time. It was a nice way to relax after the busy weekend.ioi's daughter Dolly, all cozy:

Bon fires, so much fun! We had a fire pit at our old house and the two times we used it it rained on us! My faves now are out at the cottage...we had some pretty good ones out at your farm as kids too though. Those are good memories!
ReplyDeleteYes I really miss those bonfires we would have out in the country, whether it was at Ashley's, the Denzin's or our place, they were always a lot of fun.
ReplyDeleteI miss playing capture the flag too. :)
I've enjoyed those same bonfires over the years after conference, at the farm, at the cottage, at D&L's house. Though I preferred to stay by the fire rather than run around in the dark looking for a flag. =) But it was always entertaining to hear the crashing through the bushes and the hollering! Glad that you are continuing the same tradition out west! -SF
ReplyDeleteBy the way...happy belated 5th wedding anniversary to you and the Mr. =) -SF, again!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much S! We had a nice anniversary because we got to spend it with the many friends and family at conference. Our piano was our gift to each other, and we are really really enjoying it. Thad already knows a song off by heart, and I am working my way through a hymn book. It is nice having more music in our home.
ReplyDeleteWho is SF? Do I know SF? It sounds like I should, am I missing something?
ReplyDeleteOk, here is a hint, SF is engaged to someone with the same last name as you. :)
ReplyDeleteI must be really dense, cuz that didn't help any. Ohhh, my old last name? Is she from NY and moving here?
ReplyDeleteYes.
ReplyDeleteDuh, I forgot about the last name thing. LOL
I wondered about that last name bit!! =)
ReplyDeleteWas she at Regina conference last year? and is her mom-in-law to be (good)crazy and from California?
ReplyDeleteHi SF! Now that I know who you are, I am looking forward to you moving here and getting to know you better, after all you will be a cousin-in-law or something like that, or wait now that I think about it we have connections already, wierd, well we'll really, really be related!
ReplyDeleteSo much for my anonymity. =) I'll have to assume a new identity!!! And yes, I'm looking forward to being in SK someday soon!
ReplyDeleteHi Chatty. You wanted a date for your counter. Since I'm dealing with a range, just go with Sep 7th. There's very little chance of it being later than that. :)
ReplyDeleteAnd as for SF... I strongly suspcected, but thanks to familymclean, I don't have to ask you myself. :) But I'm not sure if I know familymclean... do I? I've been to her blog, but I can't place her.
You probably met her once while in SK, but if you can't place her by looking at her blog, where she has posted pics of herself and her sister then you probably don't remember her.
