Three of us attended a family party this evening for one of my aunts. Michael had a rehearsal with a brass quartet that he’s subbing for in June and then a gig at a Danforth café with a young singer-songwriter, so he couldn’t join us.

I made a card for my aunt using an article in a 1940 edition of the Toronto Daily Star, where she was written up, along with her friend Louise, for their Guide badges.

My my brother and cousin and their families were there, along with other aunts and uncles. I always enjoy seeing these aunts who have been so supportive of me since I was a child. Now they attend all their great nephews and nieces events.

After the party we dropped by to hear the end of Michael’s set and drove him home with us.
