John,
My dad took a sick day off work today. There’s also been a lot going on around home today,
first I think that my Canon printer downstairs is going. Most of the times when I turned my
printer on lately, it flashes a yellow light instead of a green light (it won’t print anything
when the light is yellow just so you know). The first time it did this a couple weeks ago, all
it needed was for the computer to be rebooted and then it worked again but just yesterday when
it did the same thing again my dad rinsed the ink head under some hot water in the laundry tub
hoping that unsticking any ink that been gumming up inside the head would fix this for good. It
printed just after this without any problems but an hour later the same thing happened yet again
and we couldn’t get it to work again since. Might be time for a new printer downstairs unless I
can get a replacement head for my Canon i550 though incase the head is not the problem I don’t
want to get a new head and then my printer does the same thing again. I can use my dad’s Lexmark
Z810 upstairs until I get a new printer. Now the other thing that’s been going on here today, I
might have to look for a new provider to host my Stunts Illusion website because the provider
that I’m on now seems to be dying. You already know that my site’s been down for the last few
days so you therefore couldn’t download anymore scanned images.
After mom and I left South Surrey yesterday morning and were on our way up to Krispy Kremes,
I saw that they’re widening King George where you go through the flats. You probably noticed
this by now seeing as how I know that you go that way every time when you come to my place, it’s
just been a while since the last time when I went that way. I wonder if they’re getting ready to
four-lane King George all the way to South Surrey from Highway 10. When we were getting close to
Krispy Kremes, my mom suggested that first we go into that little store in Scottsdale Mall where
my dad sometimes goes and buys scratches when he’s in the area and see if they have a one liter
bottle of 7UP. We saw that the store wasn’t open yet once we got inside the mall so we went into
Save-On. The store I’m talking about that we found wasn’t open is just where you go inside the
mall and is across from Save-On, I also don’t know off the top of my head what that store is
called. We couldn’t find any one liter bottles of pop in Save-On so we ended up getting two
591ml bottles to make just over one liter, I didn’t think until later that we could’ve instead
got 7UP and one other flavour if we couldn’t get a one liter bottle of 7UP and had to get two
smaller bottles instead. We also found in Save-On some “Mint Crisp M&Ms” and we picked up a bag
of for me to try and I plan to have some of those for my evening snack tonight, and we saw
packages of little round bitesize donuts (ones that have holes in their centers) in
Save-On but I obviously didn’t want to get any of those this time seeing as how I’d be having
Krispy Kremes later in the day. When we were in Krispy Kremes after we left Save-On picking out
half a dozen donuts to put in a box and take to Kris’s, you remember I told you that my mom let
me pick out two extra donuts to leave at home for myself. Of those two I got a blueberry cake
one which I plan to try tonight for my dessert after supper and a chocolate iced white long
john. The maple donut that you had yesterday also was a long john, but that one had filling
inside it while I’m pretty sure that the chocolate iced long john I got doesn’t have any filling
inside it. I’ll let you know that every so often I have a Tim Hortons “Maple Dip” which is one
of the round donuts with a hole in its center and doesn’t have filling. The only maple donut
that I had ever saw at Krispy Kremes was the one that you had yesterday which isn’t just
maple dip (or ”maple iced”) but again also has maple filling inside. Remember in the
message that I sent you last
Friday (on May the 30th) I said that I thought Krispy Kremes
double chocolate donuts only have chocolate on the outside and are chocolate iced but have white
cake inside. You obviously saw that the chocolate donut I had yesterday afternoon had chocolate
cake inside just like I also said that Tim Hortons double chocolate donuts have chocolate cake
inside, it might’ve been a “Chocolate Fling” I had before from Krispy Kremes that had white cake
inside. The reason why I thought that was a Krispy Kremes double chocolate that had white cake
on the inside, maybe there was a mix-up at Krispy Kremes the time when I got one whereas the
Chocolate Flings were inside the counter where it was labeled “double chocolate.” And we also
saw yesterday in Krispy Kremes, little round donut holes just like the Tim Hortons Timbits. This
was the first time I saw anything like this at Krispy Kremes and now I have something else new
to try in the future.
After we left Krispy Kremes and before we drove home for lunch yesterday, we stopped in at
the Strawberry Hills SportChek but they didn’t have any of “the pair that I wanted to try” in
black. And when I just said “the pair that I wanted to try,” I was referring to the less
expensive pair that my mom saw in the Langley store that has just a tiny bit of a bumpy design
on the top of their soles. I might go back to the SportChek in Willowbrook with my mom on
Wednesday and see if their store still has this pair in black, my mom suggested that we could
also see what the SportMart store just outside Willowbrook mall has for sandals. We’ll also look
for a housewarming card for my parents to take to Kris when they go to the open house on
Sunday (on the 8th) and we’ll get him a
$25 gift card for the Bay. Either we’ll go for lunch at A&W that day or if we wait and go out
after lunch I could try one of those new strawberry blizzards at Dairy Queen that I told you my
mom saw a sign for last month. If I don’t get to try a strawberry blizzard that afternoon and we
end up going out for lunch instead, you and I could go to DQ for our afternoon snack the next
day.
And we now know that the McFlurries are out at McDonald's after my mom read in the paper
yesterday that they now have two new flavours; KitKat and Rolo. You know that KitKat would
probably be my preference of those two though I haven’t even had my favorite smartie McFlurry
yet this year. And my mom was watching TV yesterday evening when she saw a commercial that
advertised two new Frosty flavours at Wendy's; Oreo and M&M. I myself know that of those two M&M
would obviously be the closer one to my smartie flavour (Wendy's Frosties don’t come in smartie
BTW) and I’ll also let you know that I haven’t had a regular Chocolate Frosty for a long time.
Next time we go to Kris’s place we should;
1) get two sprinkle donuts
2) remember to bring paper plates and/or napkins...you saw that he had plates but remember
before we left for his place my mom told you about his so called “dishwashing skills,” same
reason why it’s a good idea for you and I to bring our own cups when we go there.
That was a good visit we had with Kris, I did have a good time myself. I still have a lot
more to write about after seeing Kris’s new place for the first time so I might send you a
longer message sometime within the next few days detailing you on what I think about it, I hope
to hear from you first.
I had one of the All Bran Bars that my mom got me for my evening snack two days ago
(on Saturday). She got a box of regular and a box of honey, it was one of the honey ones that I
had. My mom went out to Save-On this afternoon and did her grocery shopping while my dad again
was off work sick. When she was there, she got a box of “Fibre Source APPLE COBBLER” bars for me
to try.
And at another point within the last few days, my dad took one of my female platies who he
thought looked big and put her in the breeding cage on the tank upstairs in my bedroom. Until my
dad put the breeding cage on that tank just within the last few days, the only other fish that
were living in that tank since my one angelfish died are just a few kuhli loaches.
Our next visit will be this Thursday at 1PM, I hope to write more to you first.
-Neil
