We were twenty five in total and what fun we had. I’m not going to label any photos, go into any kind of detail, simply show photos of some of the food, all of the people, and tell you that Marc and I truly feel blessed to be able to live this way.






There is no way anybody left hungry unless they choose to do so! Oh, and no photo of Ana’s incredible tiramisu. It stayed in the fridge till the last moment and then they knocked me over to get to it!!!


















We couldn’t have asked for a better day to share with all of these wonderful folks that we have the privilege to call friends. Marc is already thinking about next year!!!!!
Good food, drink and excellent company. Thank you so much Randy and Marc, we had a great time💕 I stole a couple of your photos ☺️
Thanks Debbie, so happy you and Fred were part of it. We had a great time, and, steal away.
Thank you Marc and Randy for inviting us to this wonderful gathering. Cant think of a better way to spend an afternoon and yes I had my dongle reloaded ! Lol
Hey Fred, really enjoyed the day and very happy that you and Debbie were a part of it. So happy to learn your dongle has been reloaded, whatever would you and Debbie do without it!!
What a lovely looking garden party! Wish we were there!
Maybe next year…
Andrea & Warren
I too wish you were here!!!
Um…what’s a dongle?? And weren’t you all blessed with a sunny day!
A dongle is a small piece of computer hardware, sort of like having the internet in your pocket. You can connect all your devices to it. It’s pretty amazing.
What a lovely looking garden party! Wish we were there!
Maybe next year…
Andrea & Warren
That would be grand!
Thanks so much Randy and Marc! We had a great time, delicious food, fabulous company and a glorious weather. What more can you ask of life! Hope to see you soon after you get back to Ottawa.
Thanks so much Donna and Keltie, we too had a marvelous afternoon and are always marveled at the folks who show up with such great food, wonderful attitudes, and how long they all hang around. We feel pretty darn lucky. Will look forward to more visits at “home”
Looks wonderful and the food! All such great friends! No wonder you go back each year! The sun, the warmth and especially the friendships! Enjoy!
Our social lives here are so gratifying and full, as well as our hearts! I’m very blessed with amazing friendships, many of them more than 40 years old!!
Congratulations on another successful garden party by my two favourite hosts! Everything looks lovely and well prepared/presented! A great turnout, a beautiful Portuguese sky, friendships being developed and nurtured and Ana’s tiramisu, all the ingredients to create ‘the best day ever’ as Janey would say!
Indeed it was a wonderful day filled with some many great things. We hit the hay last night, very grateful boys, and pooped. Yes, one of our “best days ever”
It was indeed a wonderful get together party and a Good opportunity to catch up with frenda, please send me all the photos. Looking forward for the party next year , love you all 😍😘
It was such fun. Next year you’ll have to make three tiramisu!!!
