Way to go Peter. It was our 60th, but Peter’s efforts made the evening. And folks can see his creativity at http://johnandmarybulloch.com.
One of the first delights was a musical performance by Kelly on her flute and Katie on her violin. Paul was supposed to play his electric guitar, but they could not get it into the car driving to Canada from Boston.
And, of course, Mary and I had to do a little dance. Not bad for 83-year-olds. Such a wonderful evening, with over a hundred family and friends joining us for good memories, good fun, good food, and serious booze.
So many family members and a great shot of Mary with her cousin Tom Staples. The Staples live in Collingwood. Tom’s mother is Mary’s father’s sister.
And of course the workhorse for the evening, brother Peter, with me at the special dinner for the out-of-towners held the following day.
There is a fun shot of Robert and his family and other cousins. What we tried to do is make sure all the cousins were there. We had Verity from Mexico, Deirdre from Edmonton, Kaytie, Kayre and IB from California and Tom’s son James from Vancouver.
Way to go Michael and Deanne. Michael was such an affectionate little fellow, and now they have the dearest three-year-old boy Devon. An active little person that reminded me of Robert as a child.
And, for family on Mary's side, what a great shot of Jennifer's four and Roland, Deirdre's son. And it is Kelly again. Having fun.
Of course, we must have a picture of our grandchildren, Paul with sister Katie and the out-of-town visitors on Sunday at a local restaurant.
Pretty proud of daughter Kelly. Both of her children have her creative genes in art and music. Kelly gave a most touching tribute at the function which can be seen on the website.
And the love of my life, my wife Mary, obviously touched by the affection flowing from the whole family. Some people are just blessed, and I am one of them.
