How delightful!
Just tripped over your blog, Nick. I went to school with your Uncle Brad in Burnaby and remember your grandparents well. So lovely to see the whole family - the Kembel brothers, the cabin, the Chicken Farm... And nice to "meet" you too. Kind regards from Melbourne Australia - Valerie Adams

Comment by Grandma and Grandpa Kembel (aka Chicken G & G)
Thank you for the dedication given to your Grampa on his 80th B-Day. That was nice of you. Family gatherings are great. We read it with moist eyes because the memories of your childhood tugged at our heart strings also. Your pictures are always great and your stories are so readable. Grandparents love their grandkids and ours are particulary talented and loveable!! Keep on writing, Nicholas, it is rewarding and enjoyable for all of us. LOve from Gramma and Grampa.
