Renfrew pal Dan Toner celebrated his 50th birthday in August and was thrilled by the gift his loving wife Sarah gave him.....a chance to sky dive! Apparently, jumping from a plane at a death defying height is something Dan has always wanted to do.
I guess now he can scratch that one off his bucket list, but something tells me by the look on his face in the pix above, he will probably be doing it again soon.
Keira Blythin and her big brother William may be too young to drive, but that's didn't stop them from bringing their box cars to their local A&W in Niagara Falls this Summer.
Those are some mighty impressive looking vehicles kids, what kind of mileage do they get? : )
With his niece and nephew in need of rides and no longer little kids, "Uncle" Rob Dennis said goodbye to his "classic" 87 Buick and hello to a spacious 2006 Pontiac Montana. With plenty of seats and lots of storage space, there's ample room for Rob, his family, friends and whatever he wishes to transport from point a to point b.
They live in Ireland, which is often referred to as the emerald island, but our far away friends Matthew Glasgow and husband Stephen are a bit green with envy as they continue to tour parts of America. Thus far, the happy couple's destinations have included many hotspots throughout California, Arizona and Utah. Their friends back home (and here in Canada) got to follow Matthew and Stephen via their numerous facebook posts, photos and maps.
WOW, you're seeing more of America than many of its residents do. Awesome!
The park had become more and more popular in recent years, thanks to a little revamping, a name change and the some kick ass concert attractions.

MOVIN' ON UP!
After over 40 years living in a house, my mother Joan Storie has moved to a beautiful and spacious apartment. The big event occurred on Sept. 5th, when a team of movers packed Joan's belongings and transported them to St Lawrence Village, a cluster of apartments in St Catharines.
The "village" includes an indoor and outdoor pool, sauna, community events buildings and more. Located within a short drive of a strip plaza and two large malls, Joan will find everything she needs only a stone's throw away.
The apartment is pet friendly, meaning Timmi can still visit his Nana regularly or have a sleepover. Mom is also now located much closer to both my sisters and their families (although a bit further away from my place in Welland.)
Congrats on your new home mom....I think you are really going to love apartment living. With maintenance and repairs only a phone call away and disposing of trash much more convenient, you'll never have to retrieve recycle bins like we see below, ever again!!
I love this photo of Rodney and Alina Dennis. There's no need to do a DNA test to prove Rodney is indeed Alina's dad, their similar looks says it all. Wicked!
I remember one of the very first pix Jojo (aka "SS") sent of her sons, taken way back in the day when we both worked for Troll Book Clubs (Jojo at the main U.S. location, me at the Canadian location in St Catharines.) They were just wee kids then. Seems they've gone from boys to men in the blink of an eye (yet amazingly, both Joanne and myself look exactly the same as ever....LOL!)
Proving you're never to old to have fun, Terry William Lyons-Schram recently celebrated his 50th birthday with fine food, fantastic friends and fabulous fun. No, Terry didn't have an inflatable castle at his party but there was surely lots of bounce in the air that night.

Unfortunately Diane's first photo attempt was more blank scanner bed than the actual photo of her and BJ. Lovingly known to me as Endora (from 'Bewitched') I (Uncle Arthur) posted a message that her pix would look better if it had been cropped.
While I could have tried to write an explanation as to how to crop her scanned pic, me being me, I took it one step further by creating a "how to" video clip for her.
In case you too have wondered how to crop scanned pix, here's the DIY video Unkie created for Endora...

School's been back for a few weeks now and here we are posting pix of June graduations. Erin Papple and her brother Patrick are seen here after their graduation ceremonies. Erin is now cooking up a storm at Niagara College's Culinary School while her brother continues his studies in high school. WOW, where does the time go?
