The big event that really capped of the summer for the family came in late August. Parker and Jaclyn's engagement party! Lots of people came to stay for a few days (including Wendy's brother and our nephew, and Wendy's best friend). The party itself lasted most of the day and was a big hit! We had lots of food, games, Adam ran the BBQ, and the drinks flowed. One of my friends makes spectacular cheesecakes, so we commissioned 4 because Parker and Jaclyn quite like cheesecake.

Later in August the flowers were still spectacular in the back yard. Ruby, however, seemed to get bitten by something (she snaps at all flying insects). She had to get some ice and a collar to keep her from licking her paw.

On the Labour Day weekend we went for lunch in Oakville with our close friend Anne. It was a great time and a great restaurant (the Oakville Pump and Grill).

Wendy hosted a cribbage tournament last weekend for some friends and neighbours. It was a lot of fun!
My third surgery of the summer came in early August, but this one was just my routine vocal cord tune-up. It didn't go so well, as I had pain on swallowing for over a month. All in all, the summer for me was one of constant recovery, followed by health problems, then more recovery, followed by more problems. Kind of glad it is over. This fall will hopefully see less health issues... although I am having a prostate biopsy at the end of October to determine if a new spot that we found on an MRI late in the summer means more surgeries or treatments. The saga continues!
