What does yasu mean? Hi Tamara and Alex
It must be pretty sunny there, with each set of pictures you guys seem more tanned. Francine is on her last week of work doing the day camps and Alice is doing fine. Mom and I got back from camping last weekend just outside of Nordegg. I had a good day on the river and caught a bull trout, a rocky, and 5 cutthroats. It was fantastic weather and the smallest cutt was about 12 inches. Mom and I are both back at work so things have slowed in the landscaping department. I hope to prepare the way for the Normandeau stone soon, maybe when you get back Alex you can help me move it into place since its not near the size of Luk's stone. Keep having fun and enjoy your time together. We look forward to your next installment of pictures and to seeing both of you back soon.
Love Mom, Dad, Francine and Alice

I told Kraemer I would not bug him about his true identity......lol......just kidding.......and perhaps we should consider calling him "the streaker" ? Just a thought...okay, enuf....all is well over here, have a great time and send more pics and comments, love you both

Greecy pictures Hi Tamara and Alex, it looks as though you guys are having a great time. Thanks for posting the pictures, its fun to follow your trip and enjoy Greece vicariuosly. Not too many pretzels Alex....remember 300. The hotel looks great and that pool must be nice after a 35 deg day. And Tamara, by the look on your face we are not convinced that you like ouzo. Enjoy your trip.

received your post card , thank you , we'll be very happy when your plane touches down in e town. looking forward to seeing you and tamara , enjoy the rest of your trip .lots of love
Free refills!! Hello TNA - just walked in the door at home after two days of travel! Literally all we could take on the plane was passports, travel docs, any medication(liquid meds have to be approved by the airport pharmacist), glasses(no case), pocket wallets. No pens or pencils allowed. We were lucky in the sense that once we passed security we could buy water, food, magazines, etc and since we were flying to Canada, we were allowed to take it on the plane. People flying to the states couldn't take anything on except for the above listed. leaving toronto we were allowed a carry on - just no liquids, gells, creams, those type things. we were unlucky in TO and Calgary though because you couldn't take on any liquids you had bought - oh well i guess. celtic football game was great - 50 some thousand people. And Tamara - we found free refills for you - T.G.I.Friday's in Glasgow on Buchanan St!!!!! Thought of you guys the whole time while a drank my numerous Fanta's!! it is a chain restaurant so you may be able to find one in edinburgh maybe!! Alex - tried Irn Bru - yeah, it was ok - not great!! Gotta run guys and enjoy the comforts of home! Travel safe and have a good last few days!! lots of love,
amanda
departure time? Hi Alex and Tamara!
Just thinking about the last entry you made, saying that you weren't leaving until Aug. 20th. We thought that you were coming back on Aug. 17. Have you changed your plans? Sorry I missed your call, but it was still nice to hear your voice. All our love!
Hey Mya & Alex Hi there you two, how are you both doing? Tony is on the phone right now and he asked if you could pick him up a hat pin with the Scottish flag or something like that, Tony sends his love and be careful and keep smiling, he said his grandparents were born in Inverness, his grandmother maiden name was McKenzie and grandfather was Lawson. Okay, and yeah, we are a bit worried here about the news and hope that you both get back safe and sound and to heck with whatever customs ......at this time anyway.......geeez....well, we finally finished painting my room and started to prep the spare bedroom upstairs and then , maybe, if we are brave, we will start your room in a couple of days......Shawn and I are getting better at this painting biz.....a few oops.....here and there ....but nothing major.....hope you like it when you guys get back........can't wait to see you babe.....and Alex.....hehe.....of course......lol....Roz is in Long Lake camping, through BBBS......she started to cry just before we got there and then once they gave her the tour and I walked her a little way toward the other campers, she let go and went with the counsellor......the weather here is ucky......rain, rain and more rain......hope it warms up for her and the other kids out there......pets are all okay........everything is going good.....guess thats about it for now, will write back in a couple of dayz.........lots of love and have fun.......Love mom and Shawn.....and Warren says hi.......take care......oxoxoxoxoxox
U of A payment Hi Alex ,
Just a quick note to tell you that a reminder from the U of A was sent regarding a $175 confirmation deposit that is due by Aug 15.
If you want us to pay on your behalf phone us ASAP. If not you can probably pay online with a credit card.
Cheers.
Birthday supper Hi there! i just blogged on to your site for the first time today. I am not very computer savy. Andrew is here helping me. Your mom and dad and Francine are here for pizza and we are having a good time. We miss you but know that you are having a great time. I can hardly wait to hear all your stories when you get home! Well, I better go and have my birthday cake!
Love, Nonie
Aaaaaaccccchhhhhhhhhhh Thanks for saying hi to all of Edmonton, and leaving me out. Jerks!!! I'm still an Edmontonian at heart living amongst the enemy. Anyways, sounds like you guys are having fun. As for the hiking pains, that just means you aren't drinking enough. Shame on you, I thought we taught both of you better than that. Holidays mean binge drinking with no guilt. Remember, what goes on the road stays on the road. You guys are living the high life over there with your 'cooked up' meal and 'tatties'. I don't live that good over here.
Laters
P.S. Bring back a pair of your dirty socks, I want to know what Scotland smells like.
glasgow!! Hey tna - scott and I in glasgow. have been getting is school stuff organised before doing much else. here till sunday. call 447726632545 if you guys want to meet up or email - i check email only once every two days or so. hope everything is going well and if our plans don't work out and we can't meet - keep travelling safe and tamara - i willl see you in 20 days :( stupid short summer!!!
not much new in E town Hi Alex and Tamara,
Well I guess your about halfway through your trip (do you need us to send you some smelling socks?).
Not much new here, Francine is working at the Y camps, Mom is house cleaning, and Dad has finished painting the bathroom and hallway. He is probably going fishing soon so the flooring may have to wait a bit.
Alice is still getting garden lettuce, and we are getting garden peas, beans, and tomatoes.
You guys stay safe (Mom doesn't like the word hitch-hiking), have fun, and try not to get homesick.
love Mom, Dad, Francine, and Alice
hello , hope you guys are having a great time by the sound of it you are .hope you don't drink scotland dry . i'm anxious for you to be back home and share your stories and pictures . love granny and papa
Wow~~ Awesom!! Hey, Alex and Tamara.

Have a great trip and make lots of good memories.
So are you going to meet up with Amanda??
If you do, say hello for me.
See you guys soon.
