Tonight we hosted a potluck dinner for our Waterloo University friends. Usually we are the 5 couples who live in Ottawa but tonight we were also joined by a couple who live in Waterloo but are up for a wedding tomorrow. It was so nice to see everyone. It’s hard to believe that many of us have known each other for more than 40 years. So grateful for Jane being the glue that organizes 3-4 dinners each year for the Ottawa crew and that we’ve had a few larger reunions at our milestone years of turning 50 and 60. Friendships are so important and I love that we have kept up our friendship with this group for so many years. We already have our next dinner booked for May plus and extra girls luncheon in April to celebrate Jane’s upcoming retirement.

I was mostly out of the house today: walk with Luna then swim then drop off the car then Costco then lunch with a friend I met at work more than 30 years ago then out to Arnprior with Roland and another friend who I’ve known more than 35 years where we spoke with the owner of a small bicycle business whom we are going to buy some new bikes from.
So no crafting time (yet) and it’s already 10:10 p.m. and we have a curling Bonspiel tomorrow morning. We’re in the early draw so we’ll be leaving home just after 7:30. However, I will try to spend a few minutes before bed but I am going to post now so will add any 100DayProject progress photos tomorrow. Maybe I’ll soon make a card inspired by the beautiful photos that Connie brought as a hostess gift. As I was walking this morning I figured that it won’t be too much longer before some spring perennial flowers will be out braving the frost on my morning walks with Luna.
