This past weekend, all of our female cousins (maternal) got together at my sister's house. It was fun to catch up with everyone.



Judi, Linda & Debi arrived from Winnipeg in the middle of a snow squall. Their plane circled for 45 minutes, supposedly waiting for workers to clear snow from the runway. That never happened so they finally landed in the messy conditions, skidding along the runway to a stop. Isabel's flight from Regina landed in Toronto about the same time, in the same way. After that Pearson diverted flights to Ottawa until they cleaned things up. The Calgary contingent; Susan, Dale, Marie, Dianne, Barb & baby Atticus, got a brief tour of Ottawa airport before they were able to get on a flight back to Pearson. We were supposed to meet them for dinner but they didn't get in until 10:30 in the evening. Once they had checked into their hotel on South Sheridan way, Susy called - they were all still on Calgary time and wanted to go out!

Amanda arrived from Winnipeg early Friday morning. I had the sound turned off on my cell so didn't see that she had texted a couple of times. She was supposed to take a cab to Laurel's but forgotten her address. And Laurel wasn't answering her phone. We got her sorted though.
Julia was already in Toronto. She works for an MP who is having surgery at Toronto Western (big secret) but she was able to get the weekend off and arrived Friday afternoon around dinner time.
