I added a new plug-in today called Image Wall. This plugin allows visitors to browse posts or pages by their images, displayed randomly on an infinitely scrollable Image Wall. The images link back to the post or page on which they are attached. The image wall is available on the left side-bar menu under Pages, Image Wall.

Curling Final 2….continued
Congratulations to Angela and her junior mixed curling team. They won a nail-biter in the final played this afternoon at the Brampton Curling Club. It was a close game that came down to the last rock. It has been four weeks since they were originally scheduled to play. Here they are shaking hands after after watching their opponents last rock miss its mark. The final score was 4-3 in six ends.

The final score, St Michael stole one in the third and fourth ends, but Mount Carmel stole one in the sixth and final end. Angela’s skip called a good game and made a great shot in the fifth end to setup a draw for 2 points to tie the score heading into the final end.

Good (Old Hockey Game) Friday
We headed out to Carolyn and Danny’s for Easter dinner, as has become tradition it involved a game of road hockey. Here’s Brad unsuccessfully trying to go 5-hole on Alex.
There was a tune-up game before dinner and another one that followed dinner, although we were moving a little slower.
Final score was 10-9 for Team Brad, Eric, Uncle Richie against Team Alex, Emi, Claudia, Angela, Uncle Danny.
Also on tap was a celebration of 60 years for Danny, here he is putting on his birthday bling.
Anyone needing drywall work done? Danny now has all the right tools and then some.
Happy Birthday Danny!

Thanks to Carolyn and Danny for a great dinner.
Happy Birthday Angela!
Angela had a few of her girlfriends over on Saturday night to hang out.
She had a hard time trying to blow out her three candles, because she was laughing so hard.
Here she is opening a few presents this morning.
Since the penny has been phased out Susan put a nickel in the wallet. That led to Angela remembering when she lost her first tooth and she got 25¢ under her pillow, all excited, only to find out her friends at school were getting $5 under their pillows.

Happy Birthday Angela! You’re turning into a fine young lady, you make us proud!
Shanna’s Trip Blog
Shanna, David and Jesse headed off on their trip to Vietnam yesterday.

Shanna is going to be updating her trip on a WordPress.com blog. You can follow their adventures at http://cochrane3.wordpress.com.
Sushi Girl
Claudia has been determined to try her hand at making sushi. Finally today she sat down and washed the rice (5 times as all the recipes stated), cooked it and mixed up the ingredients. She used crab meat and takuan for the centres, we didn’t have any cucumber. Her first one was a little big, but she got the hang of it and we had it for dinner. She did a great job. Here she is with her finished plate of sushi.
OFSAA Update
After a few days of uncertainty, ROPSSAA finally made a descision and are allowing the St Michael Senior Girls curling team to compete at OFSAA. While it is good that the winning team is going, it was unfair to mislead the Mount Carmel girls and say that they may be going instead. Regardless it was still a great season for Gillian and her teammates.
This should also mean Angela’s final will go ahead as well.
