Patti and last night

Ive spoken to Fred he said patti is home and feeling better. They were able to put the stint in thru the IV in her wrist. Amazing eh? Last night Aunt Nora and uncle Rudy had a get together at there house. My sister Mary and i took my parents up to stoney creek for it. Bernie and Jackie,Mike and Karen,Aunt Mildred, . It was nice to see everyone. Rosalie who mistakenly thought i just turn 50. She confused me with Denis weho hit the big 5-0 in September. Im only 46. I will be forgiving Rosalie sometime in the next 30 to 60 days. Pat and Marge, Maureen and Uncle Dan all cancelled because they were not feeling well.It was great to see everyone who were able to attend.

My Daughter Colleen

Colleen has applied for and has been accepted to dance in a tour group across Canada starting Feb until April. I know she will be in BC,Ontario and Alberta as well as pretty well every province, and YK and some northern states. The group which you can google is "The Magic of Ireland" which travels worldwide. I am told that they are a smaller version of Riverdance. This is an incredible opportunity for her after 14 years of dance so of course we are all excited and so proud. I just got a new computer and don't have excel so I can't figure out how to post her itinerary. Any suggestions?

Flourless Decadent Chocolate Cupcakes

Hi folks, Colleen asked me to share this recipe. It's a flourless (gluten free) chocolate cupcake recipe from Chef Michael Smith. For fun he puts the batter in ice cream cones, here I recommend cupcakes - or even mini cupcakes cuz these babies pack a chocolately wallop. 8 oz dark chocolate, chopped 1-cup butter 1.5 cups brown sugar 1-tablespoon vanilla 6 eggs 1-cup cocoa Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Melt the chocolate and butter together in a medium bowl set over a simmering pot of water. Remove from the heat and stir in the sugar, vanilla, eggs and cocoa.  Mix well.  Place paper cupcake cups in cupcake pan and fill with batter, leaving a small space at the top to allow for the rising of the cake.  Bake for 15-20 minutes.

A Small World.

The chaplain at the high school i work at is a deacon. So Deacon Brian said to me on Monday, "Hey i met your uncle" and im like i dont think so. I dont have any uncles in Niagara.He said no i was saying mass at St. Pats in Hamilton. So know im thinking he might be right. Apparently after mass this man came up to him and introduced himself saying hi im Dan Ford. The Deacon replied replied,"no your not, Dan Ford works at holy Cross in St.Catharines. So uncle Dan said that would be my (favorite im sure) nephew.

Scooby Dooby pat, Where Y'at

Pat as Colleen has said it looks like you need to re-invite some folks back onto the blog. Start with Dad. Give Dad a tutorial on how the blog works and then give the same tutorial to ALL our relatives who have not put anything on the blog. Go ... do it now before you put it on your TO DO list and it gets lost in the shuffle.
