Thursday Throwback – Three Weddings
This year two of my three children have and will be celebrating their 10th wedding anniversaries and one celebrates 15 years of marriage. All three were very happy days and full of wonderful memories.
9/10/11
Our youngest daughter was married first and her anniversary date is always easy to remember. She and her now husband were married on September (9th month) on the 10th day in 2011. It was a beautiful late summer day and the outdoor wedding took place in a vineyard.
In 2016, our remaining two children decided to tie the knot. Andrea and Josie were married on their 10th anniversary of their first date, February 10th. It was a small wedding with family and close friends. They were married at City Hall and had the reception in a lovely Italian restaurant.
Five months later our son, Brendan and his beautiful wife, Azadeh were married in Assisi, Italy. The destination was chosen because it was the one place that all the families could attend without any visa restrictions. Also Brendan and Azadeh had a connection with the owner of the resort and they were able to book the entire place just for their guests. It was a magical place and a wedding that we won’t soon forget.
Thursday Trios – January 29, 2026
…looking through the archives
All these trios came from my 2016 archives but one photo is clearly over 40 years old. Can you pick out which one it is?
Shadows Cast in Venice
…thanks to Becky B for hosting November Shadows https://thesquaresofb.com/2025/11/10/shadow-square-10/
One of my favourite places in the world is Venice and I feel privileged to have visited there 9 years ago. With climate change and rising sea levels I’m not sure that I’ll see Venice again.

Weekly Prompts Weekend Challenge – Bridges
…thanks to Sue W and GC for hosting Weekly Prompts https://weeklyprompts.com/2024/01/20/weekly-prompts-weekend-challenge-bridge/
Ever since I started teaching the unit on Bridges from the grade 5 curriculum I’ve been somewhat obsessed with them. I love bridges but I wish I had more photos. The following bridges are from Venice, Florence, Loire Valley in France, London over the Thames, from Ontario, P.E.I., New Brunswick and Nova Scotia.
