Pinery Flea Market, very warm day and an early birthday party for me, just because I could.

Where are we today ?
 clic a pic to enlarge it
    Very mild last night and at 5 am 60F (15C) sun coming up and today is going to be an awesome day. Sunshine to start then a short rain shower, and I headed out for a nice walkabout just after 7am got my first mile in. This being Sunday of the holiday weekend and my Birthday is actually Tomorrow May 20th. I had planned a surprise birthday party for me, well I planned it but surprised I lived to be 70 years old, wow ! Nothing fancy just some cake and ice cream with a few friends here ar Rock Glen resort. Who to invite? hmm , Well I picked up a cake for about 20-30 people and that was it. The problem is we know most of the people here in this campground and did not know who all would be here. well over 100.... Ya know all of Canada gets to celebrate tomorrow for my birthday, the holiday Monday, heck I sure am glad that y'all will enjoy this holiday for me.
Tomorrow is the day, but think I can party whenever I want
it will be for a while yet
       This morning at 9 am we headed to the Pinery Flea Market in Grand Bend again, we were there last Sunday, you can check that posting HERE I took a lot of pictures,  but rushed through as it was so chilly. Gotta get there early as usual this being the first long weekend of the summer it will be very busy and lots more vendors as well.
busy campground this weekend as always
on the way to Grand Bend saw a few vendors selling firewood
 for the summer campers. They are stocked up
      Into the Flea market shortly after 9 am busy but no too busy yet.
wine tasting from local winery
     A few new vendors today always nice to see, a couple of street food trucks set up.
Wood fired pizza
Jerky etc.. here
      Back home by 10:30  a light lunch then I picked up some ice-cream for this afternoon at Gerry and Melindas. We headed over at 1:30 to get things together for 2 pm. Ok 2 Pm we had a major downpour of rain. Nobody else here yet so inside their sunroom.
Tucker on Suzi'e's Knee as always.
Gerry and his side kick
    The rain stopped, sun came out and our friends began to arrive,  Turned out pretty good weather for a just long enough . Temps into the high 70's F feels like 88F so humid.
Joe and Nellie dropped by but had to go home for company 
     Soon I got my cake and ice-cream out to share with our friends as they arrived.
a nice cake 1/2 chocolate/ 1/2 white
with a very nice whipped icing, not too sweet
Custom made right at the Foodland in Forest just for me.
yummy cake to share
this pic did not our out well
        Cut it up and everyone could help themselves we had lots.
oh my this was awesome!
I was pleased with a very nice turnout between the rain drops
about 25 good friends
much too windy for a campfire, gusts to 40 mph (65KPH)
and much windier later
Suzie was surprised when Alya wanted her to pick her up
        Now just before 4 pm the winds picked up and skies clouded over, time for everyone to head home before the downpour and higher winds.
the storm in coming back
         We got home without getting wet, preheated our Weber Q made up a salad and grilled a nice pork tenderloin to a perfect 145F. about 15-20 minutes.
not nice weather now again 
not long to do grill this, so moist and tender
cut with a fork and melt in you mouth, and we shared
a cheese bun from the bakery at The Arkona market
     What a fun day and shared my first birthday celebration with some good friends here , Cake and ice cream and a sunny 90 minutes just enough time to chat with everyone.
      Not gonna see a sunset tonight I am sure, more storms and wind coming. No matter we had a wonderful day already. Now to relax for the evening and then party on tomorrow, just because I can!
       Thanks for stopping in for a visit and hope you had a wonderful day as well.
