B & K Broiler - Top 10

Our 10th Annual B & K Broiler birthday party celebration is coming up!  B for Brian, K for Karen but you knew that already, right!  Our birthdays are only eight days apart, his end of July, hers beginning of August.  Yep, you guessed it, the August long weekend, birthday party celebration and you're invited!

What started out as our 1st B & K Broiler was before we were married, we had moved in together, bought some new patio furniture and decided to have a party, the guests helped us assemble it.  The 2nd B & K Broiler was a month after we got married, came back from our honeymoon, decided to have family and friends over and show off our pictures.  It then became a tradition.  Each year gets better than the previous.  We've both had our 40th birthday celebration B & K, didn't embarrass each other too much, yeah right! We've had family and friends drive from long distances, fly from other provinces and even fly from within Ontario.  We've had young friends, old friends, new friends and even friends to be celebrate with us. I remember each B & K had sleepover guests, some too tired to drive long distance, some drank too much, wouldn't let them drive and some just wanted to stay, couldn't kick them out if we tried!

Last year, family flew in from Ottawa and when we picked them up at our little Welland airport, they insisted on taking us flying, over the falls.  Who could turn that down even though we knew guests were showing up shortly.  What a spectacular view. I remember getting a text from one of our friends asking where we were, I text back to say "look up, we're flying over, be home in 10 minutes".  It was a great B & K!

So this year, what to do? We've gotta make it a special one, do something different, its our 10th Annual.  The name B & K Broiler comes from my handsome husband, I think it was the year Burger King introduced a new burger. The weather has always cooperated and so again it will this year. Our family is flying in from Mississauga and has offered to take our guests out flying, if anyone is interested.  I can't imagine anyone declining this great opportunity and so I can only bet that Ned (the pilot) won't be at the party much!  

B & K as we are called, have so much more to the meaning than just Brian and Karen. I did a quick google search and was surprised to find a few interesting business, restaurants and more.  Wishing actually that we could claim each one as our own, wouldn't that be nice, take a look at this list of B & K's.
