Well what a bloody palaver that has been. We are now finally sat on the night train to Chicago but the journey here was not a simple one. After getting on the mega bus at Toronto we were a little late leaving as a woman was arguing with the driver and demanding that she be given two seats together as she had booked them for her bad back. She had however arrived late and was not aware of the policy of first come first served. So as the rest of the bus started hurling abuse and food she finally gave in and sat the hell down. Anyway with that over with the bus was fairly uneventful till we got to immigration at the American border. We were all marched off the bus with our bags ... read more

You little mover and groover! As Mommy and Daddy were preparing more and more everyday for the upcoming home renovation moving everything from the back of the house forward, you my dear were getting more and more adept at getting into things. A list of places you have been located as of late includes: Inside a suitcase, sitting on the open dishwasher door, attempting to enter the 'entertainment center', digging in a potted plant and innumerable cabinets.

As sunlight cascades upon beautiful Buffalo, my eyes are met with two strange sights: 50 snowplows waiting for an emergency on the runway in July, exclaimed Ashley, and “What are those large white things sticking out of the ground with the funny arms?” “Oh yeah, I forget you don't have snow in the south and what the heck are you talking about white things with arms? Oh wait, those are windmills that used to have six arms, but they kept sucking in Canadian Geese, so now they are down to three arms,” replied Fern! In the parking lot of the World’s Greatest Grocery Store, Wegmans, we first became acquainted with our new best friend of the trip. Imagine a shiny grape skittle and you can picture our new best friend, the purple Jimmy! “Damn it ... read more
