Last Night's PARTY!!!

Last night we had a going away party at our house for Jenn and Jeff as they are moving to Toronto next week. Man, oh man...what a time it was!!! There were about 40 people here, including Jenn and Jeff's friends, family, some of Kenny's friends from work and one or two of my own friends. It was so much fun! Too bad it was a going away party, but at least everyone came to say their farewells to Jenn and Jeff. I'm not going to get into THAT right now because I'll save that for later. I don't feel like being sad today. I'm feeling the effects from last night, and that's about enough to deal with for one day.

I wrote a little poem (or whatever you want to call it) for Jenn and Jeff that I read to them at the party last night...here it is:

Before you head east, way out yonder

Here are some things for you to ponder

This poem not once did I rehearse

The one about you moving to the "Centre of the Universe"

Opportunity knocks, and you must fly

Before it all passes you by

Who will I call ten times a day?

I know, I know, you'll only be four hundred dollars away

Thanks to technology, we can stay in touch

The distance between us will only feel like this much

The fun you'll have will be like out of a book

And when you see him, say "Hi" to Dan Cook

The concerts, the games, you'll be living the life

You'll be the envy of Kenny's wife

Who's going to make fun of my poker style?

No one to laugh when I have chips in my pile

I still don't understand how to play that game

But the times we did were fun just the same

The kids have become so darn close

It's the family times we'll miss the most

But we'll save and we'll save and we'll plan and we'll plan

So we can take them all to Canada's Wonderland

Jenn, I'll call as much as I can

Because, you know, I'm your biggest fan

Jeffery, Jeffery, you're one of a kind

I'll keep you as my brother in law if you don't mind

Jarret and Amy, well what can I say?

Those two little beauties brighten anyone's day

We all wish you well, good fortune and luck

But please don't cheer when the Leafs have the puck

So long, farewell, it's not the end

It's the start of a new life, a new job, and new friends

My intention was not to make anyone cry, so I tried keeping it light and fun, but of course as soon as I said "Jarret and Amy", I had trouble. But I'm not going to talk about that any more. I'll deal with it all next week when I have no choice. Should be fun.

Anyway, finally whoever looks at my blog has something new to see. Now that things are seemingly back to normal for me, I promise to update more. I miss the therapy.

See you all soon.......
