The Meridian RV Park office staff were able to recommend a driver to take me to the Phoenix airport. I was also able to book him to come and pick me up as well. He is a retired gentleman who does this for cash on the side. It was nice to know that this was a reputable individual whom many park folks use on a regular basis.
Once home it was a busy week. Final party plans, housecleaning, grocery shopping, ordering Jane’s birthday cake, and heading off to Staples to print Jane’s birthday collage and get it framed. There was also finalizing plans with my neighbour Bobbi for the paint and sip event Saturday, as well as the restaurant Mill Street & 5 American House for Saturday night dinner. All was well in hand when Jane, Gary, Nick, and Thomas pulled into the driveway Saturday morning.
The paint and sip was a great surprise and tons of fun. The picture we painted was of the Chambly basin and Jane recognized it right away and was very pleased. Afterwards, back at my house, we gave Jane her picture collage gift frame. This too went over well. Then all of us headed off to Waterdown for dinner..
The following day we all headed out to Vanessa’s for Lilah’s birthday party. The house was full of family and friends and Lilah was a little shy yet very happy and comfortable. She had a great time opening gifts and eating her cake. After all, isn’t that what it is all about!
