Old friends ... and new ones, too!!

For over 20 years we rented a cottage a Balsam Resort. Over the years we met some characters from Sarnia & Ottawa who have become good friends. We haven't been to Balsam Resort for a couple of years so we decided to have a reunion weekend of sorts.

That's me, my lovely wife Maryann, Pete,Terri, Ron, Debbie, Judy & Gord.
Although Balsam Resort is a great family resort near Coboconk, Ont operated by John & Judy Beall, we had a lovely weekend hanging out with no kids this time.Swimming, eating, fishing and reminiscing while enjoying a few cold bevvies around the campfire at night.

We also met some new friends:

Of course, I had to share my love of balloons with these 3 lovely young girls from Buffalo NY. I also made some balloon sculptures for their boy cousins who were out fishing. Their mother told me that they went to see a clown at their local library. The clown said "I only make dogs. Don't even think of asking for something else" Sad, isn't it. That someone would make balloon sculptures and not want to improve their repertoire.
I really like the look on their face when they get a balloon creation unexpectedly. These girls had fun with their balloons. And the grown ups enjoyed watching as well. That's the cool thing about balloons ... there is no age limit.
