My grandson Brody finished his hockey career of the under 18. Seniors night February 13, 2026 saw a celebration of all the Seniors on his Newmarket team.
Flowers in a skate used as a vase. His number 97 jersey in the background.
Coffee, hot chocolate and timbits from Tim Hortons gave family members something to drink and eat while looking around the change room.
Fun for this Nana to attend.

Valentines month bring a deluge of chocolate sweets.
I bought some treats for the grandchildren for Valentine's Day. I always give a little cash as well.
But flowers in the winter are always welcome.

I don't usually post my photo but eating with family brought me some opportunities.
On my real birthday I went for brunch at the Markham Station restaurant in Richmond Hill,
I ordered their breakfast special.

Now that's a platter full of food, Hash browns, scrambled eggs, french toast, sausages, and a slice of cantaloup.
Happy Birthday Barb.

January has several celebrations and a chance for good eating.
Lots of cake.
Looking forward to summer peaches. As with this Kerr recipe of peach and proscuitto bites.
Canascione at Easter.
Of Course a cake for me.

I am now in the habit of having a picture of the Dinners served.
Christmas dinner for 11.
Appetizers to start.
Christmas Crackers. A blessing on the meal.
Turkey, Italan sausage, bread stuffing with sage, gravy, mashed potatoes, peas, carrots, brussel sprouts, flat beans, roasted red peppers, sweet potatoes, and cranberry sauce.
Drinks of choice- beer, wine, water, sprite, diet pepsi.
Dessert was a chocolate yule log, cream cake, ice cream, sugar cookies, fudge and coffee.
A good time with family and good eating.
Merry Christmas everyone.

Adolph was an amazing cook. Loved his many dishes.
But Christmas Eve was special. He learned to make all the seafood dishes from his Mom
Then added some new ones of his own.
A community group that I attend regularly had the Annual Christmas evening.
Richmond Hill Historical Society has monthly meetings with speakers. Our December meeting is a Christmas party with some entertainement.
On December 9, 2025 it was a group from the Program Director's church.
Christmas songs.
The food was a pot luck of sandwiches, goodies and drinks.

I like to make a pickle platter. The red and white item is grape tomatoe with bocincini halves.
A cheese platter with salami and kobassa slices. Then cracker with a dip. The bell dish has hot peppers.
Trays of sandwiches, veggie platter and fruit platter were purchased from Longos.
All in all a fun evening.
