You know what's cool about life? It's the way when one new person comes into your life, they bring with them all the people in their life, and so on and so on. One day you could have 10 or 20 amazing people in your life - the next you can have 30 or 40 amazing people in your life. That's what's happened to me. My life got exponentially better!
I have a beautiful bouquet of family and friends who have shaped my life in so many ways. And since meeting Rich, I now have a lot more flowers in that bouquet! He also has a wonderful family and great friends. We often spend time with his mom and sister at their cottage up north...where you'll find us (well....mostly them...) playing foose-ball, or we'll get into Euchre tournaments...or trivial pursuit...all while enjoying copious amounts of wine...'hic! (it's no wonder I love them....) In the summer, their annual family golf tournament is a great time - and they're just really cool people who love spending time together. We may do a trip to Portugal with them this fall if time and $$ allows (donations accepted!) There are always lots of laughs when the mudda and the bruddas get together!
Rich's dad and stepmom live out west and they are amazing. We spent a week with them in France last summer and had a truly wonderful time. They are avid travellers and are about to embark on a trip to the Gallapagos Islands and Peru! They live life to the fullest and also enjoy copious amounts of wine...'hic! (no wonder I love them too!). Nights at the villa in France playing boche-ball with our Port wine...ahhhh....good times! We'll be out to see them this summer too.
And there are many more - the cousins - the aunts - the uncles - everyone knows the importance of family and friendship and that's what makes life so great. So, between Rich and I, I'd say we're pretty lucky people. I've increased the number of amazing people in my life just by meeting Rich. What could be better than that? You know what they say...."you can't choose your family". Well...I say "thank goodness" because I wouldn't want it any other way.

I love this blog, bouquet, is a terrific way to describe people, and places and things! like flowers, each one is different, beautiful, full of life, makes me think of roses, peonies, and dandelions, all different, all providing us with experiences. love it. sc
