Just in case, we advise that everyone bring an umbrella so they can walk around a bit without soiling their fancy clothes!<br /><br />SEE YOU ALL SATURDAY! Directions to the White barn from Toronto are below: If you are coming from elsewhere, type <span style="font-weight: bold;">2791 Bleams Rd.</span> (New Hamburg, Wilmot) into Google Maps.<br /><br />Love to all!<br /><br />El Calvino,<br />WebmasterJon-Erik Lappanohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02778576301029344480noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5287919956567869472.post-84900023195840738712009-07-22T07:42:00.000-07:002009-07-22T07:48:13.703-07:00Get Yourselves to the White Barn!<span style="font-weight: bold;">Heading in the Right Direction!</span><br /><br />From Toronto:<br /><iframe marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" src="http://maps.google.ca/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=Toronto&daddr=2791+Bleams+Rd,+Wilmot,+Waterloo+Regional+Municipality,+Ontario&geocode=%3BFTX4lQIdpW4x-ynrjDzJuQcsiDEGp6gWf-Za5w&hl=en&mra=pe&mrcr=0&sll=43.670233,-79.794668&sspn=1.064863,2.831726&ie=UTF8&ll=43.526646,-80.016174&spn=0.955881,1.757812&z=9&output=embed" scrolling="no" width="640" frameborder="0" height="480"></iframe><br /><small><a href="http://maps.google.ca/maps?f=d&source=embed&saddr=Toronto&daddr=2791+Bleams+Rd,+Wilmot,+Waterloo+Regional+Municipality,+Ontario&geocode=%3BFTX4lQIdpW4x-ynrjDzJuQcsiDEGp6gWf-Za5w&hl=en&mra=pe&mrcr=0&sll=43.670233,-79.794668&sspn=1.064863,2.831726&ie=UTF8&ll=43.526646,-80.016174&spn=0.955881,1.757812&z=9" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255); text-align: left;">View Larger Map</a><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">For detailed instructions, google map "2791 Bleams Rd." and follow the computer machine's instructions!

Essentially, they are asking for a financial bail-out - an investment towards their future plans as a fiscal and genetic conglomeration.<br /><br />They did attempt to go to the Bay and start the registry process, but Jon-Erik suffered a severe panic attack, and had to be escorted from the premises after trying on numerous raincoats and crying "Where are the plates?! We need to find the plates!"<br /><br />So, please extend your hearts and pocketbooks and make a donation to the Lapatch Foundation for the Destitute and Romantic, it will be very much appreciated, and will help start a life for the happy couple!<br /><br />In lieu of financial donations, we will also accept: a handcrafted gift (photography, artwork, song, or otherwise), a hearty handshake or hug, or a contribution in our name to a charity of your choice.<br /><br />Much love,<br /><br />El Calvino<br />(Webmaster)</span>Stephanie Patchhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17359226250434193825noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5287919956567869472.post-65307831541921219452009-05-15T06:13:00.000-07:002009-05-15T13:36:52.375-07:00WEDDING SHOWER: We've got to get ourselves back to the garden<span style="font-weight: bold;">DESPERATELY SEEKING SHOWER:</span><br /><br />THE GARDEN “JACK AND JILL” WEDDING SHOWER ON JUNE 7th, 2009<br />1:30 -5:30 pm<br />(Rain Date of June 14th)<br /><br />To see the location of the wedding shower on a map, click on the following link:<br /><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="http://www.mapquest.com/maps?city=Stratford&state=ON&address=91+Matilda+Street">http://www.mapquest.com/maps?city=Stratford&state=ON&address=91+Matilda+Street</a><br /></span><br />For personalized, detailed driving directions, visit <a href="http://www.mapquest.com/directions">http://www.mapquest.com/directions</a> and enter both the address you will be departing from as well as the destination address (91 Matilda Street, Stratford, Ontario, N5A 6R9).
