Becky and Georgie
A week ago Saturday, MPW and I were fortunate enough to be invited to Georgie’s Surprise 60th Birthday! I was going to post this sooner, but I was trying to raise money for the RONA MS Bike Tour. Georgie is the mom of my friend Becky (my personal dog whisperer). It was held at a lovely restaurant named Pepperwood Bistro. The food was delish, the company was swell and the guest favours…yummy!
Of course, some of the guests *ahem* MPW and Max, couldn’t wait to dig in, which was fortunate for Brian who was visiting from Ohio. Apparently, there is no such thing as NIBS south of the border, which was quite shocking to the rest of us. So of course we had to make him try them. Here is Brian’s first taste of NIBS and according to him it was like, “Twizzlers…only…more!“.
Brian picked a great weekend to come up and visit Krysta and Jay (You may remember Jay as the Gentle Giant). Brian actually met Krys while they both taught in Japan and it had been 6 years since they had seen each other! Of course Krys and Jay were excited to have him up for the weekend and excited to play host as well. Becky was intent on getting Georgie there, so she needed someone to hold down the fort and direct guests at the restaurant. Krys is like a second daughter to Georgie, so she was happy to step in and help, and it was a job well done!
And of course the lovely lady who was responsible for the surprise was Georgie’s lovely daughter Becky. She had printed special menues, had a gorgeous cake made (couretsy of a former coworker and baker extraordinaire Monika Bakes) and got the birthday girl there, despite the fact Georgie has walking pneumonia, so again another job well done.
Thanks again for the lovely invite!
Yeah, That Just Happened!

Yay Jenn! Thanks for the lovely write-up! It was a fun night!
And yes, Blond Duck, she doesn’t look, or act, 60. Good genes and a young heart.
She’s the best mum in the world, and deserved nothing but the best for her big day!

I think you should be proud that it’s “out there”… look at the first comment on this post, mom. A complete stranger was shocked that that was your age, said you didn’t look it at all.
Own those good genes of yours!
