John,
Did you get the E-mail I sent you yesterday afternoon
in which I finally gave you a response to what I think about walking up that steep hill and also
in which I asked you about walking the dogs on Sunday? I went to Campbell Park earlier today
with Larry and we walked around the “Little River Loop Trail.” We went clockwise around the loop
trail, we walked along the East side of the river first and then we walked over the Listening
Bridge before coming back up on the West side. It was when we were walking back up the West side
almost at the spot where the trail leaves the forest and heads out into that open meadow when
Larry asked me if I wanted to continue following the rest of the “Little River Loop Trail” back
to the car or if I want turn left at this side trail and try a different walk. He said that
there’s a couple of boardwalks on it. Today was the first time in quite a while that I’ve been
to Campbell Park and the last time was the time I was there a few years ago with Carol when she
told me about a trail that got some new boardwalks on it, but she and I haven’t since gone back
there to check it out. Carol was a little worried however about taking me on that trail just her
and I because she said that it wasn’t as well used as some of the trails in the park that are
more open and she couldn’t exactly tell me how to get over to the new boardwalks from the
parking lot, but I say that things aren’t right because I still don’t want to go on that trail
either with Larry or with you. Now that Larry showed me today where I can turn off the main
trail to go over to the new boardwalks, I think now I know that we can go through there without
going on that one spot Carol was worried about. She told me that after you come out of that part
that wasn’t well used, you start to see people again before you go on the new boardwalks. And
you probably have no clue what I’m talking about after you told me that you’ve never been in
Campbell Park before, but I could draw a map.
When Larry told me today that he saw on the news about
it’s harder for them to adopt cats out at this time of the year, I told him that they said the
same thing on today’s Adopt-A-Pet segment. My mom called me into the family room today to watch
it just before he came. Anyway, after I told him that I saw the same thing that he saw he then
asked me if I watch the news. I just said that I watch it sometimes instead of telling him that
I haven’t watched much since before the big altercation two years ago at Christmas except either
when I’ve watched it with you or when my mom had called me into the family room to watch the
occasional Adopt-A-Pet segment.
And my dad brought cake home today. It was for my dad
for working 35 years at Hydro, but it happened a year or two ago but they just got around to
doing it. He brought home two slices of chocolate iced white cake that were pretty close to the
same size of slice that I have whenever I usually have cake and he also brought home four small
pieces that are about half the size, I had one of the two big pieces today for my dessert after
supper.
I hope that I won’t have a lousy sleep tonight because
I have to get up at eight o’clock tomorrow morning.

P.S. Incase you didn’t get my first message, here is
the part where I gave you my response about walking up that steep trail:
|
I could manage that steep trail through the woods. We can do it next Sunday (on June the
7th) as long as they don’t predict any rain for that day. Can I walk Bubbles again this time?
And if we decide on Dairy Queen afterwards, I’m not sure about the one at 138th Street and 72nd
Avenue because I remember at that one you have to go up to the counter and ask them to buzz you
into the washroom. I wonder if the new DQ near 152nd Street and Highway 10 is open yet?
And I didn’t know that I was suppose to respond before you came yesterday to let you know what
we were doing. I got your response yesterday when I checked my mail about an hour before you
showed up, maybe you should have responded sooner to my first E-mail if you wanted to ride in on
your ebike. But anyway, please don’t come here on it. Carol would’ve never came here on an E
Scooter (or a motorcycle) seeing how I told you before that she isn’t one to ride a
bike.
