Trevor & Dana’s Wedding Reception

On Saturday night we atteneded Trevor & Dana’s Wedding Reception at The Ontario Heritage Centre. We had a great time! Although the evening included the clichéd bride playing guitar and singing a song to the groom, and the tired ol’ midnight snack of gourmet grilled cheeses…. wait a second! I never saw someone say that before.

Dana has been taking guitar lessons and took centre stage at the reception to perform her interpretation of the Rolling Stones classic, “Wild Horses.” As she said, the guitar playing is something new; but that girl can sing!

The midnight snack saw a chef set-up his cooking station and make grilled cheeses on one of three types of bread with any one of a wide variety of cheeses.

Here’s a look at some of the people I mingled with throughout the evening:

What? Lost her mitten?

It’s not even offcially winter and it’s already happened.  The event I dread each year has come early.  I lost my mitten!  Not both, but just one. With maddening regularity I manage to misplace at least one each winter season. 

No amount of cheap mitten buying or attempts to hold on to them seem to work.  Many have suggested mittens with strings, but since I’m no longer 5 I think I need a different approach.

 The National Post used to have a Lost Mitten Registry, but it never brought any of my mittens back.

So now, my lovely pair of velvet gloves is reduced to one sad, black dust rag. 

My fingers are crossed in an attempt to hold on to a fantastic pair of red glov-ittens.  They’re mittens and gloves all in one!  Hopefully in the spring I can report that they are safely stored away for the next winter.
