Marcel Bosman, our nephew from Holland, wanted to celebrate his 50th birthday with his family in Canada near the place he was born. He was born in Oakville, but returned to Holland when he was little. Marcel has never been back. The celebration was a luncheon on his actual birthday.

The food was scrumptious. All finger foods.
The restaurant was chosen by Fred. Great choice.
Unfortunately Fred, Sue, Esther and Leah could not make it. |

Every one was given some tulip bulbs to remember this occasion. So sweet (lief)
After everyone went home, we sat and chatted for a while in the outdoor cafe.
You are a very special person Marcel. It was great to share this day with you.
Happy Birthday . |

ReplyDeleteThanks a lot for the great pictures you send me! I really like them!! We didn't make that many pictures just forgot to do so!
Mum was pleased with them too!!!! I'll use them in my book of course! Wauw!!
Anyway, it was a great day never ever to forget! I just can't thank you enough.....
The other thing I just didn't thank you for was the credit card for Tim Horton's you gave us! We enjoyed it a lot and had some pretty good breakfasts and lunches! :-))
Take care and we'll keep in touch if you don't mind.... :-)
Huggs,
Marcel

ReplyDeleteHeel erg bedankt voor het toezenden van de foto’s. Ik heb ze allemaal ontvangen en bewaard op mijn pc.
Ik vind het zo leuk dat jullie dat geregeld hebben voor Marcel! Hij waardeerde het ook heel erg dat er zoveel leden van de familie hem op kwamen zoeken.
Fijn dat het toch nog gelukt is met de foto’s.
