I should rename it 'the Reid test'- and Langley passed! It could accommodate our little family and the Von Trapps of the 21st century (without the Nazi's after them, of course)- Sharon, John, Ailsa, Heather, Claire and Laura. AND we were one room down, so the next time they come it will be great!
And little Laura is fantastic, a happy, chilled child who will spend hours doing lots of really slow backwards caterpillars. Great!!! As usual it took Mae a minute or two to adjust to the volume the Reids carry with them, but she Ailsa and Heather get along great. Even Sharon and I didn't fight!! (Everytime Mae has some sort of falling out with a classmate I tell her that Sharon and I used to fight all the time, and I think she doesn't believe that we really got through it)
It was really nice to see them all, spend some time at the beach, spend time chatting and eating a drinking and can't wait to see them at Easter!!

If you have room for a family of 6 then you for sure have room for a family of 5, right?! One day I'd like to make it there! Glad to hear about your great visit.

Dana, THAT would be great!! And the Reids could visit and stay in the camper!!! Honestly- your kids are at a perfect age to enjoy all that is going on this area so get your ass over here!!!
The only reason our relationship works Jen is because I overlook everything you do.
Marge, I mean, Sharon
:) No, it was lovely. Thank you for a great chilled couple of days in your sweet house. Looking forward to returning the hospitality.
yeah ..you guys still have secret fights...:) Sounds like a fun time!
Jealous. Jealous jealous. At your proximity to teh Reids, at their proximity to you, at little girls visiting and getting along, at childhood friends still so close... and hanging out at the beach too.
Sorry, that last comment was not by an anonymous annoying person. It was by this annoying person. I didn't mean for it to be anonymous... I thought I had signed in.
Cowbreath. You know who you are.
Yeah, well your mother can't do laundry!
That's not an insult to Joan by the way...old grade 6 fight...actually an insult to Rita.
Not actually an insult to Rita (who is the best launderer I know) but an insult to the tightness of pants...I thought Jennifer said it, but now I'm thinking Sharon might have...
no way, Sharon said it!!! I remember it well!! And, after all these years, I realise she is right (sorry mom) and that I picked up the gene. Damn.
ha ha ha ha ha ! Life is much freer and more fun when you don't fret about the finicky details of doing laundry. I should know, I have inherited the finicky laundry gene.
Salt, rinse, salt, pray a novena. Rita, you can do laundry.
I'm so embarrassed that this is how my sister fought.
