Cheez Whiz I’m Almost 50 :-)

Posted on by



Well, here it is folks…the birthday present I gave to myself. Only rented, of course. But I’ve got this to carouse in for a week or so and so far I’m just loving it! The colour took me a little while to get used to, but now I kind of like it. It sure turns a lot of heads anyway!

Last night I picked up my pal Crystal and we drove to the golf course to meet Elaine and Anne…we golf together almost every week while the weather is nice. It was a hoot! On the way home, wouldn’t you know? We hit a road block…police checking for drunk drivers. Well, we hadn’t had anything because we’d been golfing for 3 hours. As I drove up, the officer asked me “So how would you describe this colour?” I said “Why, it’s Cheez Whiz!” He had a good laugh, checked us out (no, not THAT way), we started to pull away. Another small group of younger officers were standing there as we drove off…one yelled “Whooo-hoooo!” Crystal and I enjoyed that tremendously.

I’ve noticed something…I seem to be attracting a lot of young males. After the car, of course, not the driver. 🙁

Today, I drove Michael around Dallas Road and Cattle Point…it was beautiful. We pulled over and he took a few pictures of me and my Cheez Whiz. I’m loving it!

Summer of 1958

This is my favourite picture of my little family…it was the summer of 1958 and I was a year old. I don’t know who took the picture, but I just love it. I look pretty well-fed, eh? We were so happy!

The Woloshen Family Barbeque July 14th, 2007

We were made to wear these silly hats all night as the Woloshens, including the “boys” from London, England, all converged upon my sister-in-law Joanna and her husband Casey’s place in Richmond. In the first photo, we proudly display our birthday attire.

There are three of us in the Woloshens celebrating our 50th this year: my sister-in-law Donna, Michael and myself…we’d be the ones in the hats. We were treated to a sing-a-long and were well fed and teased all night…it was great!

The second picture is myself and Richard on the left and Mike on the right — the “Brits”. They showed us pictures of their new flat outside of London…beautifully decorated and right on the river with a nice balcony to watch the world (and the cruise ships!) go by. They keep trying to convince Michael and I to go and visit them before they come back to Canada for good in 3 years or so.

The next photo is of my lovely in-laws, Andy and Bea Woloshen — eating again. Sshhh — don’t bother them when they’re eating!

Then there’s my gorgeous brother-in-law Casey, firing up the barby.

It was hot under that hat…Donna kept sneaking her’s off all night, but we kept our eyes on her! I got to the point where I couldn’t take it off.

Hat head.

It’s worse than pillow head.

It was the first time all of the Woloshen siblings had been together for quite awhile, so we enjoyed ourselves very much.
