We left Victoria post surgery on Canada Day, and Mary Lois displays the fabulous flag capes she bought to go sing Jenny and Sharon Oh Canada! A good 20 people showed up to cheer Jenny and continue the tradition.
After we got home, I donned my cape and got ready to go to a Canada Day party in Parksville.
Pretty cool, EH.....????
We were invited via this coming winter's house sitters, to attend Howie Meeker's annual bash in Parksville, which also honoured Howie on his receiving of the Order of Canada for all his work in broadcasting, hockey and humanitarian work.
Over 250 people showed up to wish him well and congratulate him on his Order, and it was a beautiful day, so the lawn was set up with catered appies and snacks and a bar.
The group was diverse - people from all walks of life and many from Howie's media background.
Views from the deck were lovely.......
and people sat outside, inside and on both the front and back yards.
A sunroom was a poplular spot to chat......
The kitchen was a busy place with caterers keeping everyone fed and happy.....
The oceanside den is a favourite place for Howie and Leah to while away the hours.
A jazz trio played in the living room...............
The garden beds were ready to start veggies, but it has been such a cool spring, they were not yet in.....
The back yard and decks were full of happy guests. It was a wonderful party, which Miki had to miss this year, as it was only a week after her surgery.
