John,
First, Larry will be visiting the Elephant Island Winery one day next week when he’s on his
vacation but they’re staying the whole vacation at a bed and breakfast that’s in Kelowna. After
I E-mailed him on Monday to ask him again where he was going, he wanted to joke around so he
told me in person when I saw him on the next day to tell you that he’s going to Elephant Island
but not to say where it is. I did remember before I E-mailed him on last Monday that he told me
they’ll be doing some wine tasting on their trip, but I just couldn’t remember where exactly he
was going. And Larry might’ve been to Italy, was Italy the name of the country where the
Elephant Island is that you found when you Googled it? And you thought that Larry might go there
because you know that he likes the beach. We do know however that Larry has been to Greece and
to Germany. Natascha has relatives who live in Germany.
You asked me if I knew what my mom was up to yesterday afternoon. She started to look around
for a dress to wear to my cousin, Janice’s, wedding on August the 8th. And also when she was
out, she went to Shoppers Drug Mart and got me one stick of the OMBRELLE brand “Face” sunscreen
that I’ve been using lately as well as a stick for me to try of 60 SPC “BANANA BOAT” brand. She
said that it will be good if the BANANA BOAT brand ends up working out for me because it isn’t
as expensive as the OMBRELLE face stuff. And she also told me that if you spend $80 at Shoppers,
you get a free Future Shop gift card for $20 so my mom bought me a box of Smarties to bring her
purchase up to $80. The gift card has to be used before July 9th and my dad’s thinking that he
might give the card to Kiernan but we don’t know if there are any Future Shops near where he
lives.
I also remember that you said yesterday about my dad didn’t take Thursday afternoon off this
week and I told you in my last E-mail that he instead decided to take
off all of today to go fishing with my uncle Robert at Alouette Lake.
Speaking about it, my dad just phoned a few minutes ago and he said that they caught six fish.
And Save-On phoned our house earlier this afternoon to let us know that our table and chairs are
in. Remember my mom and dad ordered a couple new deckchairs with a small table using the points
that they saved on their Save-On-More Card? Anyway, my mom told my dad later when he phoned that
they’re in so he said that he’ll come home and clean up first and then he’ll go out to pick up
the deck table and chairs.
When you saw the baby boy, Marshall, at the beginning of the video that was taken at the baby
shower, you remembered right away that this wasn’t the baby who the shower was for because he
would be too old for a shower seeing how he’s almost a year old now...but then you thought that
the shower was for a younger baby girl. My cousin, Jeff, and his wife,
Jen, named their baby Jacob and I told you in the E-mail I sent you on Monday May 4th that my
auntie Karen and uncle Robert (still) don’t
have any granddaughters:
Monday May 4,2009:
> ...And my mom said that she was sure they were gunna have a girl. I can see why she would say
that, because
> my auntie Karen now has her third grandson and she doesn’t have any granddaughters.
And you asked me if I’m doing anything with my dad on
Father’s Day, I did get a card for him but Father’s Day is on This Sunday and you know very well
that it’s the day on which you and I might go to the Watershed Park<
font color="#000000">. I asked in
my last E-mail to you
if just you and I should walk around the trails in there now that I realize you didn’t suggest
bringing the dogs. And I meant that my mom and dad will still drop me off at your house if we
take the dogs...or otherwise you can pick me up if we’re not taking the dogs and if my parents
will be going in a different direction, if so we’ll drive straight to Watershed Park from my
place and we won’t stop at your place at all on Sunday as long as we won’t be bringing any dogs.
Please get back to me about Sunday.
-Neil
