I am sorry but besides I am still on antibiotics, so I’ve been feeling quite tired. I’ve spent the week resting as much as possible, so there are only two events to tell you about.
On Wednesday, we celebrated all the July birthdays; since mine was among them, I naturally had to attend. Fortunately, the entertainment was lovely this time: a fun female singer performed songs from the 60s and 70s and really livened up us oldies —they were waving their hands enthusiastically and even singing along. It was truly funny. I received a very sweet card signed by the staff. Aside from that, there was a delicious birthday cake!

On Saturday was wonderful weather and I felt much better ! Fortunately ! My son and family came back from Italy and stopped in Waterloo to visit me. They had a long way behind them, first 800 km til France where they spent the night and then 400 until Waterloo where they arrived at noon.
It was so nice to see them all ! With this nice weather I I thought it would be best for us to have a picnic in our park. My son bought ready-made cold salads that tasted excellent. We sat under our 200-year-old tree, and dog Leia was so happy to have such a huge property to run around on which is exactly what she did the whole time. We enjoyed the Oriental rice salad, and they told me about their vacation.

I am so glad you were able to have a visit from your son and his family. Toby is SO TALL! (like my grandson!)

Dear Ingrid, I am sorry you aren't feeling very well and that you have been feeling tired! I have been feeling pretty tired with all this heat and humidity.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to you, dear friend! Your photos are beautiful, I am so happy you had a visit from your son and his family!
And you look gorgeous in these photos, dear Ingrid! Your red sweater and lovely necklace, and that beautiful colourful blouse/top! You have very good taste. Thank you so much for sharing!
Wow! Toby is so tall! It looks like he takes after his dad. Belated happy birthday to you! The party sounds fun. I hope you feel better soon.
ReplyDeleteDiL is the same height as you. She must feel a bit invisible at home at times.
ReplyDeleteThe boys do look like big strong bodyguards. I love your pretty tops.
ReplyDeleteIt was so nice that you were able to enjoy your family visiting . It's lovely to have so much space to use. It makes such a difference not to feel confined.
ReplyDeleteHappy belated birthday to you! So nice that you were able to enjoy the outdoors with your family. The boys sure do look like bodyguards next to you and your DIL.
ReplyDeleteBelated birthday wishes! How lovely to get a visit from your son and all his family. It looks like you had a really nice time. And Toby is so tall! Hope you're soon feeling better. This heat we're experiencing probably isn't helping you so yes, just resting is good advice.
