At last night's birthday party at Loretto's house,my father received some very nice gifts. But only Denis,Silvana,Maureen and i were thoughtfull enough to get him something original. We purchased a Goat on line thru "free the children" in his name for a family in Kenya. Im not sure if he was just "trying to get our goat" but he claims this is the first time anyone has purchased a live animal for him as a birthday present. Happy 86th birthday Dad.
Last week I tried to "encourage" my family to post to this blog. I sent them all TERRIBLE pictures of themselves and threatened to post them here if they didn't post their own. Although they all responded soon enough to my threat, nobody has updated this blog yet. To be fair, this sort of thing is easier for me to do so I'll give a general update on the family. I won't post those nasty pictures just yet, because I'm sure there are some of me floating around and I don't want to start a war. You may remember there are 6 kids, in order of age: Mark, Colleen, Paul, David, Kathleen & Kevin. Hearing it listed like that reminds me of being called for dinner. :) Mom and Dad (Maureen and Al) are both in good health and living in that big house you remember in Ancaster. The house and property itself would look very different to many of you as my Dad's projects have really transformed the place. There are no more big willow trees (and no more treehouse!) :( ...
