Tom:

I for one would appreciate it if you were able to bring your laptop. I won't be lugging mine as I'm 'travelling light'. That way you can share any research tips with those of us that have not had as much luck in searching as we'd like. I'm always asking 'where did you go to find that?"..so still have lots to learn.
thanks,

Rehearsal over...check...rehearsal dinner...check.....tomorrow is the big day....it'd better not bl**dy rain   >:(

Even with a set menu at the rehearsal dinner at a different restaurant, it took ages for the food to arrive so I feel better about doing the standard menu because it really doesn't matter does it  :-\ I think I'm in stress mode  ;D...Next weekend I will be my usual normal sane self....maybe  8)

mab........ ;D

Yes...so I'm told but we have had rain everyday this week so far.  They are getting married at U of T and the parking is quite far from the chapel  :P ::) Fingers crossed..... :D

So I'm now officially a MIL  ;D....it was a wonderful day...the weather co-operated and it was a very moving ceremony that they wrote themselves ......many tissues were used by all ....I'm still blubbering as I remember stuff.......  :'(  ....and I added my new daughter-in-law to my tree  ;D

Off topic I know but whatever...... :)

So it's getting close to our get together and I wanted to put this post close to the top again just in case there are any late joiners to our meeting on August 24th  ;D

Hi everyone,

Just letting you know that I am still waiting for my grandchild to be born anytime (Due Aug 25th).  Not sure if I make the trip to meet you all rootschatters at restaurant on Sunday.   Of course my daughter and grandchild come first.   If I am not there on Sunday and I wanted you all have a blast good time.  Enjoy yourselves.   ;D

Regrets..Sorry friends I can't make it Sunday. I'll miss seeing everybody but duty and my bookeeper are calling!! Vacations didn't leave me going in the right direction, perhaps you can forgive me its a three hour drive?! I was looking forward to meeting more RChatters and seeing those from last year. Have a great time!!
