How Not to be a Monster-in-Law

As I mentioned in a previous post, my son recently got engaged.  I wanted to start the relationship with my future daughter-in-law off on the right foot, so on Saturday I drove to Waterloo to have lunch with Christie.  

 

We talked about:

• how I hope to never be a monster-in-law
• how I would like to be encouraging and supportive of them
• what she should call us
• what we both would like from the wedding
• if she would mind if I blogged about wedding details (and she doesn't mind - phew!)

We had a lovely lunch and I have to say I'm one lucky future mother-in-law. 


I took a few photos in Waterloo for my bloggy friends - and no I didn't take any of us eating.

I took a photo of this building because I loved the colour of the shutters with the brick.
 

And a photo of this lovely red caboose in front of the Perimeter Institute (that's the dark building behind it) because I knew you would want to say hi to the physists.  The Perimeter Institute is a centre for research and education in theoretical physics and where Stephen Hawkings is the distinguished research chair - yep, big brains hang out here. 

And finally, I took a photo of this lovely twisty chimney down the street from Christie's house - just because it is so lovely, and twisty. 

And then I went home.
