aunt sarah + the beaches

last friday night matt and i went out to dinner with aunt sarah. who's aunt sarah some of you may say. well she's basically one of our adopted grandparents when we lived in scotland 20 years ago. darren went to her house for lunch nearly every sunday for lunch and she would often have all three of us there or be with us for whatever reason. she's come out to canada to visit her nephew and some family out here. so they came and picked us up and we al went out to dinner on friday night. it was a good time. so nice to see her.

today at work, it was a hard day. we went down to the "beaches" (for the confused and/or geopgraphically challenged, toronto is located nowhere near any sort of ocean, we are on one of the great lakes, however, you can't swim in lake ontario it's so badly polluted...). we had a great time down there. it was volunteer appreciation day. we have over 70 people who volunteer in community ministries and so we went and has a barbie and played beach volleyball (my team won 2 out of 3 games) and got a little, ok, a lot, of sun. what a great day. the only thing that would have made it better would have been to have been at a real beach where we could have swum....oh well.
