Paula’s 50th

November 29, 2008 by jaypalter

We – Paula’s loyal friends and family – gathered on November 29 to celebrate her 50th birthday. Leigh-Anne outdid herself with a stylish setting and wonderful food and drink. And Paula glowed all night. Anyone who knows Paula and knows Paula’s friends will know how much pleasure it brought all of us to celebrate with …

Turtle food

A funny thing happened during our trip to the zoo today. Funny things always seem to happen when David is around.

Epcot, Crush and Viking dudes

March 13, 2008 by jaypalter

Epcot was an enjoyable day. The park was more enjoyable than I was led to believe. The modern design was interesting, though dated in places. Lots of attractions for the kids. Next time, we’ll spend more time at the country exhibits. However, for the kids, Crush the talking turtle dude was a highlight. Of course, …

Edan, Eva and Ella

March 4, 2008 by jaypalter

Three girls with names starting with E. A coincidence? Maybe it had something to do with the water in Willowdale and Thornhill when we were growing up. Doug and his daughter Eva made their bi-annual pilgrimage to Toronto and Ben and Ella were at the top of Eva’s list of social engagements. Lucky for us! …

Hanukkah Party 2007

December 8, 2007 by jaypalter

Lots of planning went into this year’s party, like any other. The latkes were tasty, the food was oily, and the company was chatty. But, can you tell me why the party always concentrates in the kitchen? Leigh-Anne’s thoughtful party favours were a hit with the kids. But my favourite moment was the candle lighting. …

Honouring Mhel

September 9, 2007 by jaypalter

In September, we said goodbye to Mhel and hello to Reycie. Mhel joined us on 2 July 2003 – the day before Ben and Ella arrived. Actually, right around the start of this blog, in case you want to refresh your memory. She has played an vital role in not only caring for Ben and …

Old Friends

June 1, 2007 by jaypalter

Old friends are so important. They help us to remember – where we came from and perhaps where we are going. What a difference a couple of decades makes…

Convocation 2007

May 24, 2007 by jaypalter

The month of May was a momentous one for the Palter family. Leigh-Anne finally received formal recognition of her amazing achievement in obtaining her Masters degree in Business Administration. It was a beautiful spring day on the campus. I love this picture of Leigh-Anne and her classmate and fellow troublemaker James Miller – both because …

Our Teletubbies

May 14, 2006 by jaypalter

The big and little twins spent the weekend together on the farm, while mommy and daddy enjoyed a luxurious weekend away. Twins that play together stay together. And they really do bear some resemblance to the cute (but oddly named) British foursome. Don’t you think? Many thanks to Shushan and Weswie for opening their home …
