John,
I had my dentist appointment this morning, I had to go there for a bonding to get some of my
back teeth rebuilt because I grind my teeth. The appointment took almost a good hour. Hopefully
I won’t have to have another one of these again or at least not for more than five years.
I hope to get out with my mom tomorrow afternoon. We plan to look in a store that’s just a
few blocks South of Semiahmoo Mall called the “Bow Wow Boutique,” they have lots of dog and cat
stuff. We plan to look there tomorrow and see if we can find any dog or cat ordainments for our
Christmas tree and then we will walk back up to Semiahmoo Mall where we plan to get some
scratches at the lottery kiosk for my two friends, Mac and Kris, and for Carol who use to work
with me to give to them for Christmas and get an Orange Julius for my snack. Remember it was
the food court in Semiahmoo Mall where you and I had A&W a few weeks ago? It is this same food
court where the Orange Julius is. My favorite drink that I get most times when I go to Orange
Julius is the strawberry one.
I talked to my friend, Mac, yesterday and it’s a good thing we chose the 16th out of the two
Sundays that my other friend, Kris, had available because sometime around the 20th of this
month, Mac has to go into St. Paul’s Hospital in Vancouver to get his heart zapped. He’s the
one who has a heart condition. If this dinner will use up some of your time, it would be a good
way to make up for this week’s lost session and if there’s still time left after that we could
possibly make it up during the Christmas holidays. The cats CD-ROM game (Catz 2006) that
my dad ordered on-line for me for my birthday finally came in the mail today, now we’ll have
something to do one of the next times you come. It’s the same as the old dogs program that I
showed you upstairs in my bedroom last week except in this program you adopt and raise cats
instead of dogs. This is also the program I showed you a printout for a few weeks back.
My dad picked out some more songs last night. On the list I sent you before, some of the
home movie titles were out of order. The Microsoft Word document that I sent you before is
still correct up to title #71 . I put the list at the end of this message from title #72 to the
end including the songs my dad picked last night. Don’t forget to bring
your Christmas CDs on Thursday and we can see if any of the songs on them
will work in any of the Christmas titles that don’t have music yet. "I Got You Babe" by Sonny &
Cher was a good choice for my parents’ wedding because right where they sing the line “I Got
You To Wear My Ring,” my mom and dad are cutting the cake and we can see mom’s ring sparkle.
And we listened to the other song you sent us, mom was really impressed with Di’s singing.
I’ll see you Thursday at 1PM.
