I hit the wrong thing so could not continue. We got the carpet in & the furniture back downstairs ,then had to take everything out of the bedroom that was not affected so that matching carpet can be put in on Tuesday. Our holy terror has eaten the plaster off the corners of two walls in spots. He can reach & eat the toilet paper no matter how high we put it. While we are cleaning up one mess he is raising cain somewhere else. We are going to obedience school again to nite. He is good when he is asleep. Look forward to all your messages, please keep it up. Love you. Grandma & Grandpa wth a cold.

Where you have been, & where you are going is beginning to be beyond our comprehension. Your pictures are excellent, & almost unbelievable.,& we are aware that so much is left out. The summer has been unusual for us, sort of camping in town with all the lower level furniture stored in the one bedroom down there that was not affected, & allover the house & garage. Stuff piled on every counter.Grass at least 12 inches high at the lake becuz the lawn was too wet for the lawnmore, so we could not walk on it either. That is why we just enjoyed reading about you and not complaining. Last of the combing done last week,spraying continuing sometimes twice or so over again. Next T hursday,6th, the disaster company will come to put furniture back if we can find it for we dont know where anything is! Our new pup Taylor is a holy terror, being half kangaroo, he can jump to any height, eat anything & everything. Obedience school has not helped unless he wanted to do such & so anyway. Talking to you last week was very precious. Standing out on the trail at the lake listening to a young man talking to us from Dehli, India had me pondering technology all week. Lots of love to you both. Notice one of you is blonde.

World trip continued
Hi to both of you. Already reading your messages to keep up with your travels. Glenn home today because of rain last nite. Cooler temps now that September is here, and high wind has blown the canola around. Our news of last week is that we have bought a 9 month old Bichon whose name is Taylor. I got carried away by an add in thr paper & rushed off & got him. He is not trained, we cant let him out to the back yard as the lower level has not been fixed. We put him on leash to go out front door just about every hour at least. I should not have got him. But he is very nice ,we are getting used to him, and he is getting better. I hope. Real excited for you,wishing you many good months . Thankyou for phone calls. Love from us both. Grandma

Been playing rugby since I got down here in January and i've got tickets to Tri-Nations and the World Cup. Took a couple small trips but i've been mostly in Wellington and Auckland.

Bad auntie for not writing sooner
Hello to my favourite travellers. What a bunch of great pictures. So I guess the first thing that I should do is apologize a million times for not sending any messages on your blog for a very long time. Good thing that Grandma is sending you some details that are happening over here in "sunny" Saskatchewan. We are finally getting some sun. Yeah!!!! We have had alot of rain this spring and we were even beginning to wonder if we were going to see sun for Warren and Meagan's wedding. Soooooooo----speaking of that wonderful day, I now have a child married to a wonderful young lady. Can't believe it and I have to pinch myself sometime to remind me that this all happened. Warren and Meagan were very fortunate to have 3 great days, for their rehearsal, their wedding and then the party at the cabin on Sunday. Everything happened at Katepwa---they got married in the cute little church next to us---about 100 of us literally squeezed into the pews. Meagan had the church decorated so nicely with lanterns and tulle. Meagan had chosen some very nice soft music to walk into and when the music guy pressed play the song for Meagan and Warren to walk out to came on---some cool Carribean music---the church went from a very serious atmosphere to one where every one had a good chuckle. The dinner was at the library at the beach---so yummy---and then there was a dance. Meagan's uncle sells hot tubs, so we had 2 hot tubs on the cabin parking lot that were used quite a bit. Was fun. On Sunday there were probably about 100 guests at the cabin---and that was fun too. Your mom and dad brought home made ice cream, which was a real hit. I am truly giving you the Reader's digest version---I know that when you get home, Meagan and Warren will have pictures for you to look at as well. Daegan and James were the ring bearers and they wore little white shirts and khaki shorts and Warren wore the same thing so that they almost looked like little mini Warren's. I am so pleased that your Dad is doing well. Heather was very impressed with the medical system in Ontario, so I am sure that he is in good hands. I will try very hard now to keep you up to date what is happening here. Daegan's birthday is on July 5 and he will be 3 years old. He is telling everyone that he is three already. I have to tell you a couple of funny stories. Harvey is an avid reader and one day Harvey is telling Daegan that maybe he shouldn't be doing something and Daegan looked at Harvey and said "Gampa--go read your book". Then my little James who loves food----I came around the house one day and he had his hand in front of his mouth and when I asked him to show me what he had in his mouth he had an earth worm hanging from his lips. Yikes. So for a moment James were like to 2 robins fighting over this worm until I pinched his nose and he let the worm go. Yuck. Well I think that is probably enough for now. I will write soon. Love you bunches. We missed you at the wedding and always. Aunt Marilyn

Hi Randi & Quinn I touch the wrong button & dont know how to cancel. Thankyou for the scarab. We should all carry one in our pocket for good luck all the time. We will put it on the table to see it when we have our meals and that should get us through the day. Thankyou and good luck to both of you. Welcome back to Canada. Love Grandma
