The best events in life are reunions, and this past week our dear friend Kerrilynn came back to Vancouver to visit her Everything Wine family.Our friend and co-worker Rhonda was gracious enough to open up her patio doors and allowed us to take over her home. We arrived to the sounds of summer tunes and a feast of foods to nibble on.
What I thoroughly enjoy about getting together with the Everything Wine Crew is that we all know the standard procedure to all social gatherings: show up, bring a beverage to share and something to eat. If you are the one who arrives empty-handed, we'll still share with you, but know that you're being severely judged.
The other amazing thing about this crew is the sense of family we feel towards one another. Case in point, a former employee comes "home" to visit for a few days, and the other family members make sure to clear their schedules and make time to catch up. And though it's been six months since Kerrilynn had left, it was as if she had just worked a shift yesterday.
Rhonda and her husband has a boat, and their boat was currently parked on the driveway; so naturally this means that we all had to climb into the boat, and take pictures.
One thing I've noticed is that while I get mocked for constantly taking pictures at any social gathering, it's assumed that I'll have my camera and will be capturing life's precious moments. What I
thought would be a couple nice commemorative pics turned into about 85 must-have pics to post on Facebook. And I didn't take them all.One thing I know for sure: we sure have missed our "Little One" and had an excellent time celebrating her brief return to VanCity, and will continue to miss this little bundle of joy after she leaves. Then again, that just means that when she comes back again, there'll be another party to plan. What to bring... what to drink... the cycle never ends. Oh how I love a good party!
