Re: Centre Island - What a meet!
It was an absolutely amazing time!!!
I don’t know where to start …thank people first for all their efforts or tell you guys about the highlights?
Heck, lemme thank people first and then I’ll keep adding the highlights as I remember them…so…
thanks to everyone that made it more or less on time,
to everyone that brought more than the required amount of food,
to everyone that spent hours at the grills to keep the supply coming,
to everyone that cleaned up afterwards,
to danial and uncle stalker that brought items for “khel kood”,
to chegum for taking digs from me about the botiyaaN and for passing up his guppy t-shirt so that a new guppy could have it,
to smilestar for the most amazing pathan-kay-dhaabay waali doodh-patti chai at the most suitable time and for staying by my side till the very end,
to DM, furqan, adeel, faizy and chegum for being Lords of the Fire and taking care of the most important part of any bbq,
to Farah for keeping Mehnaz busy while we got folks to sign her birthday card,
to everyone for being such great sports in the games that we played.
to everyone for signing my photo mat…can’t wait to select the pic that will go in that frame,
Highlights
Watching Jal_Pari take a nose-dive behind faizy and hearing him turn and ask, “Was that a kho?”
Watching faizy do a “leap frog” jump over desi-angel’s sister’s head while playing kho.
Watching Adeel & Tehmina drop their egg at least twice without breaking it. And the thing bounced a couple of times before coming to rest on the ground! I was wondering if one of them had actually replaced one of the raw eggs with a hard-boiled one.
Listening to Faiza reminding Amir to throw high on every pitch of the egg and then watching it get smashed in Amir’s hand.
I know Haseeb was one person on the team that won…who was the other person?
Waving to hayaa, Mehnaz, Faizy, Amir & Faiza from the choo-choo train as they were seen struggling with their life-jackets & paddle boats in the mid-afternoon sun.
I’m sure I’ve missed stuff that I will later post…just so tired today…yes, I’m getting old.
And to all of you that keep calling me headmistress, I’m not talking to you people anymore!
