Elaine's BBQ

Another Post!!! Two in one day!! How can you all cope???

Elaine held a birthday party at our new house and invited approximately 50-60 people! Kindness knows no bounds here, as neighbours arrived with cakes, sweets, food and their good nature!!!!

Here is a picture of a cake below that our good neighbour Margret made for Elaine:

All of our friends and neighbours really thought we put on a good feast, and our good friend Bob provided some great music as well. A great day with great people and great food!! What else can we say but......
GREAT!!!

The Surprise

Well,

Another update for the Emery blog, and this time, it is not all about us (Brian & Elaine).

We surprised a good friend of ours, Bob, to a surprise makeover for his basement. Brian & Bob went to Niagara Falls for a boys weekend, while unknown to Bob, his whole family and lots of friends were fixing his basement and installing flat screen TVs, hardwood flooring, etc.

Checkout some of the pictures from Niagara below:

Brian the 'mad cyclist' in Niagara.......







All in all, a fantastic weekend and the look on Bob's face when we returned to his house when the makeover was completed was fantastic!!! We love ya Bob and you deserve it!!!

Spark Up The BBQ!!!

Well,

It's about that time here in Canada that BBQ season is here (we are lying)...it is BBQ season all year round!!!

We bought our first Canadian BBQ which cost about $800 CAD (about GBP 370). We have never BBQ'd (sorry about the grammar...just lazy!) before, but we got through the first one without any problems....
We have just finished our 3rd BBQ and check out the food...we mean....photos below:

Brian cooking up a storm....well...some meat anyway! Notice the beer in his hand...customary when cooking a BBQ!



'The Man' in action....careful Brian!!! Don't burn your sausage!



Gotta go...food to eat!

Stay tuned for more updates.
