HAPPY 10TH BIRTHDAY, ALEXANDRA!

 
A new outfit for Alexandra' birthday. 

 
Cousin, Jocelyn, more than pleased to be invited to celebrate Alexandra's birthday on the BIG DAY - February 19.  Alexandra had been celebrating since the previous Saturday having a birthday party with school friends and then a special dinner with her other grandparents. 

 
We went to Montana's in Newmarket for a birthday dinner after shopping for her present at the Upper Canada Mall.  The waiters appeared at the end of the meal giving a snappy rendition of "Happy Birthday."  Not sure why they put the horns on Alexandra's head but I'm sure they are of great significance.  If anyone knows why, please feel free to let me know.

OSCAR'S LAMENT


The Little Dog
 
The little dog so sad he be
My folks are leavin' won't take me
Their bags are packed
And ready to go
I like the airplane
Don't they know?"
 
If I whine, they're sure to hear
They'll pick me up  take me there
Oh, they're walking out the door
I will see them nevermore.
