Going back a bit in time, we all got together at Miriam and Geoff's place for Mother's Day on 10 May. 
Geoff again demonstrated that he is Master of the Braai and produced some great boerewors that was polished off before the afternoon was finished. 
We took a much needed walk past the church where Miriam and Geoff will be getting married at the end of August. 
We also passed this history plaque on the first airmail in Canada that I found interesting.

At the end of May Blue Door Shelters (where Ingrid works) put on their second annual Bed Race fundraiser. I did not participate this year other than by taking pictures, but "the kids" and their partners entered an eight member team, "Clan and Co." 
As with last year, they again excelled themselves and were presented with the winners' gold medals though they had two legs of the race where they were very shaky. 
To Ingrid's and their own embarrassment they were the worst of all the teams when it came down to knowing or guessing statistics about homelessness in York Region. 
For some more photos of the event have a look at my Picasa Blue Door Bed Race 2009 album.

This Sunday we went to the annual Aurora Street Sale. This is reputed to be the world's longest annual street sale (from Yonge St. & Wellington St. to Yonge St. & Allaura Blvd. approx. 1.5 km) and Yonge Street is reputed to be the longest street in the world.
Aurora is the next town just south of Newmarket - a very pretty and quaint town. 
One of the stalls, Curly and Company Salon, was offering free neck and scalp massage with any donations going to Blue Door Shelters. 
Ingrid was on hand for a few hours to answer any questions about Blue Door Shelters. She and Judith both took advantage of the occasion to get a massage, but I declined.

Just as we were going inside one of the largest single formations of Canada geese that I have seen flew almost directly overhead. I counted 56 birds.
