The hostesses with the mostestDi Nancekivell (having had to leave a sad and ailing Tom in Vermont) and Helen and Graeme Rutledge hosted a wonderful party for us on the Saturday of the long weekend. There were about 40 – 45 people there, many of whom had come to the Lake especially to help celebrate the fact that we’re in the last stretch of construction. It was a marvelous affair and those of you unable to be there were missed - and you missed a fabulous party!
'Aloha' to the LakeWikipedia says that 'aloha' means ‘affection, love, peace, compassion and mercy’ though it has also come to be used as an English greeting for ‘hello’. The lei I was presented said all of that: our family was certainly surrounded by love, peace, compassion and mercy, and we were well and truly welcomed home in a most amazing Lac des Iles way.
Party time!
A truly wonderful party!
Graeme made a lovely toast
The new cottage will have many treasures given by treasured friends
