Next weekend seems like a potential time as it&#8217;s the first weekend since mid-May that hasn&#8217;t been action-packed or full of insanity.<\/p>\n<p>But I don&#8217;t want to leave you empty handed if you&#8217;re taking the time to read this. After posting so many photos over the years to <a href=\"http:\/\/facebook.com\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a>, I&#8217;m finally starting to make a better shift over to <a title=\"Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/vmiddleton\/\" target=\"_blank\">Flickr<\/a>. The photo quality is so much better (and I have a <a title=\"Go pro\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/upgrade\/\" target=\"_blank\">Pro Account<\/a> to boot) and I don&#8217;t have to worry about rights or ownership because <a title=\"My Flickr Feed\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/vmiddleton\/\" target=\"_blank\">Flickr<\/a> is much more reasonable than <a href=\"http:\/\/facebook.com\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>There was a wedding shower for my sister-in-law and her fiance and it was up near <a title=\"Google Map of location\" href=\"http:\/\/maps.google.ca\/maps?q=dorset+ontario&amp;oe=utf-8&amp;client=firefox-a&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;hq=&amp;hnear=Dorset,+Haliburton+County,+Ontario&amp;gl=ca&amp;ei=7okeTJbxNt_nnQeQtICKDg&amp;ved=0CBUQ8gEwAA&amp;z=9\" target=\"_blank\">Dorset<\/a>, <a title=\"Gov't of Ontario\" href=\"http:\/\/www.ontario.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\">Ontario<\/a>. My husband&#8217;s aunt and uncle moved there last year and their new home is beautiful. It&#8217;s a bit of a drive to get there, but the afternoon was lovely and a good time was had by all. It also gave me an opportunity to take lots of photos (especially since I only knew around half of the guests, so it kept me nice and busy).<\/p>\n<p>More photos are available for viewing on my <a title=\"VMiddleton's  Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/vmiddleton\/sets\/72157624102947057\/\" target=\"_blank\">Flickr page<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 252px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a title=\"The happy couple\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/26814432@N07\/4712677846\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/farm5.static.flickr.com\/4020\/4712677846_25f06a9e4a.jpg\" alt=\"The happy couple\" width=\"242\" height=\"350\" \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">The happy couple<\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 254px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a title=\"Aunt Lorraine\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/26814432@N07\/4712683988\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/farm5.static.flickr.com\/4030\/4712683988_8d5407fe2d.jpg\" alt=\"Aunt Lorraine\" width=\"244\" height=\"350\" \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Love this photo of Aunt Lorraine<\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 360px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a title=\"Heather\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/26814432@N07\/4712734344\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/farm5.static.flickr.com\/4067\/4712734344_e380e8cb7f.jpg\" alt=\"Heather\" width=\"350\" height=\"233\" \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">The bride-to-be<\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 360px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a title=\"Siblings and cousins\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/26814432@N07\/4680735490\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/farm5.static.flickr.com\/4005\/4680735490_faab4eff01.jpg\" alt=\"Siblings and cousins\" width=\"350\" height=\"242\" \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">L-R: Aunt Darlene, cousin Chris, his wife Margaret, Louise (my mom-in-law)<\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 360px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a title=\"Louise &amp; Willie\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/26814432@N07\/4680099745\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/farm5.static.flickr.com\/4059\/4680099745_d600ea22ef.jpg\" alt=\"Louise &amp; Willie\" width=\"350\" height=\"233\" \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Louise with Willie the adorable puppy (there were actually SIX dogs in attendance!<\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 243px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a title=\"Keeping their eyes on the prize\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/26814432@N07\/4717016313\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/farm5.static.flickr.com\/4051\/4717016313_6c6a43cd53.jpg\" alt=\"Keeping their eyes on the prize\" width=\"233\" height=\"350\" \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">In the back is Sam and Cooper is in front as they keep their eye on the prize.
