35th Anniversary Dinner

Sormin's Anniversary Dinner

At the end of July, we celebrated Tim's parents's 35th anniversary with dinner at Sunnybrook Estates in Toronto. The whole evening was lovely. It started with a tour of the grounds and neighbouring building, then we went to the library for hor d'oeurve's and then into the dining room for our meal.
