Memories

Leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember! Don't send a message, leave a comment on here. Next, re-post this in your own blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty cool (and funny) to see the responses. Repost as "memories."...

Beer Mileage

Strangely enough, I got this from my Mom who hasn't had a drink in more than 10 years ...

Good News ...

A 2006 study found that the average Canadian walks about 900 miles a year.

Another study found that Canadians drink an average of 22 gallons of beer a year.

This means that Canadians are getting about 41 miles to the gallon!! :)

Escape!

Joe is taking me away for my birthday (or rather, in the week of my birthday)! YAY!! Joshua will stay with my parents and James will stay with his parents while we go to Rowena's Inn on the River for Monday and Tuesday nights. It's a bed and breakfast in Harrison Mills that has been recommended to us by at least 5 different people. We are booked into a private cabin with a wood fireplace, jacuzzi and breakfast in bed! I really cannot wait to get away. We will get 2 whole nights of sleep, uninterrupted by small children! WOW!! Thank you to my Mom and Rick and Joe's Mom and Dad for keeping the boys and to my wonderful and thoughtful husband ... I love you, Joey!

Johnny Reid Concert

I went to the most amazing concert last night! I wasn't even sure I wanted to go because at this stage in my life sleep takes precendence over everything else *L* but my Mom had bought me a ticket so I went. It was the most amazing concert!! There were no special effects like we saw at the Neon Circus or huge names like Tim and Faith with Soul 2 Soul II but it was held at the Clarke Theatre in Mission and there were maybe 400 people there. We had front row tickets and met Johnny after the show. Like I said, AMAZING! This man is so talented. At one point I was taking pictures and he bent down and stole the camera to take a picture of Steph and I in the audience and then took it around taking pictures of his band for us. I am not a groupie and would never follow someone around or request their autograph but we did meet him and he signed some CD jackets for my Mom and her friend, Stella. He also saw my Mom on her cane and asked me what was wrong. When I told him she had MS (she and Stella were waiting further away, on a bench), he beckoned her over and gave her a hug and a picture that they were selling at the artist table with a special message for her. He is such a nice guy!! Here is his latest video and I will post pictures later ... I wish I could get out to his show in Vancouver tonight (but who would brave the Canucks play-off traffic to see a concert they had already seen?!?) :P

What?!?

The things people come up with!

How (unfortunately) true! *L*

That's Mine!

Joshua likes to grab my camera and take pictures. Visit http://joshuaparson.blogspot.com/ for his newest photos. :)
