Ottawa scenes.
We had three wonderful days with Barbara and Stephen staying at their house in Ottawa.It is always such fun when we get together!
After our lovely evening with Christina and Bruce , we had a quiet day, just enjoying being in a house again and getting various things done ie the blog catch up for me!
We had an early dinner and then went off to a very good performance by the Ottawa Symphony Orchestra.
Stephen had managed to get four tickets .Christina joined us also , she was helping organizing the event.We enjoyed the works of Italian composers and we particularly liked the Pines of Rome by Respighi.
The next day we prepared for our big reunion dinner. Barbara and I got to work in the kitchen I worked as sous chef. My favorite role! Our mutual friends, Lana and Tim had come over from New Zealand and we had all lived in Paris, France together back in the late 90's .Our sons attend the same school there.
Later Graeme headed off to have lunch with an old family friend who lives in Ottawa , and Barbara and I went to the Ottawa river to see the Ottawa Rock Art John Felice Ceprano does using the natural rocks he finds.He says there are always different compositions every year..
This work looks a bit like the Inuit Indian Art.
Lana and Tim arrived around 7 pm bearing NZ gifts for us all. Jon , Barb and Stephen's son and girlfriend joined us for cocktails .We had a great catch up and shared a lovely meal together. We worked out this was a 25 year reunion.Lots of photographs were shared of the grandchildren . It was a special time for us all.
Over and Out,
S and S.
