Last Night

It is our last night in Toronto and we had a good day. We went to the market and Eaton Center and then came home and had a nap and then we went and tried all of the Canada food that we hadn't had a chance to try and then we went to the parade of lights. We were too slow for the fireworks but it was fun to walk around. It is really cold. We bought a day pass on the subway and that was nice. Helped us warm up. I have never heard of ketcup chips. They are lays potatoe chips that have ketcup flavor. I know why they are popular in the USA. Acquired taste is all I can say. I am glad you had a good saturday. Tomorrow is travel day. We have to leave here at 8:00 in the morning. We have reserved a mini bus for the trip to the airport. We should be back in SLC around 4:30 and then we are going to go take care of Grandma and Grandpa Gumm. I hope that doesn't take too long. I am excited to come home but not looking forward to going back to work. Moving time it coming. I will be seeing you soon. LOVE MOM

Busy

Well I got my errands done today. I went to the bank and to Walmart to go grocery shopping. I went early because I knew that it was going to be crazy today. It wasn't too bad at 10 this morning though. So about 3 I decided to go to the mall just to see the crowd and boy you could hardly find a place to park. I didn't get me a new book to read, so it was worth it. I also had to go and get gas in my car and the gas stations were pretty busy as well. I am not planning on going shopping until after Christmas now. We will have to see how well that works. Well I hope that you got to see everything that you wanted to today. Good luck traveling tomorrow. I am excited for Christmas. I got everything wrapped last night while I was going laundry. I think that it is fun to wrap Christmas stuff. Well have a good one. BYE

Congratulations

Boy do I have smart girls. I am so proud of you getting your EMT certificate. We were all talking about that tonight and have decided that a lot of shows etc need EMTs while the show is going. We were thinking if you volunteered at the Touacan. We could get free tickets to the show. Just a thought. Not so excited if you volunteer for little league but that would at least get you hours. They symphany was really good. There were amazing. The place was also really neat. Tomorrow we are just going to tour Toronto. We still have been to the lake, Eaton Mall or there is a flea market Robin wants to go to. Tomorrow night they are having fireworks for a christmas thing. I think we are going to that. I have a mini bus coming at 8:00 on Sunday to come and get us. It was that or two taxis. We only have a 30 minute layover in Cinnicati. It is going to be close. I think my spelling is bad tonight. I have had a really good time. It is cold but it has been nice to see the city for one last time. I am glad you made it to the weekend and the pictures went well. I am so excited for you to come home. Robin is craving ham and stroke potatoes so I think we will have that for Christmas Eve. We will save the steaks for another night during the holidays. LOVE MOM

Made it

Well I made it thru work. I am glad that it is over. I only have to work one and a half days next week. That will be nice. Today was a pretty good day. I made some models to put on our website at work. I used the program to put real materials on it so it looked really cool. I even made it thru the picture. I tried to stand in the back but they said that I was too short for that and made me stand closer to the front. It was worth a try though. Tell Robin congrats on being the 2nd place student that is awesome. Also tell her that I think her cheetah guy turned out good. Well I hope that symphony was good. Oh the grades for my class come out and I got an A-. Well Have a good one. Love ya BYE

Graduation

We just got done with graduation and brought all of Robin's stuff back to the hotel. They honored the top three students and Robin took 2nd place. It made me cry. Everyone just clapped and clapped. They all love her. She was so happy. We stopped at the store in the school and I got her some makeup for you and me to give here for Christmas. Thought you would be glad about that one. We are going to rest for awhile and then go out to the symphany. Hope you are having a good friday.

LOVE MOM

Karen good luck with your picture. We had a good day. Dad got to see the dead sea scrolls. We got to go to the organ recital at the catholic church and we went and saw Jersey boys. It was really good. It was a 1/2 hour subway ride to the play with the subway packed in like sardines but other than that everything went well. Tomorrow we are going to the symphany. Handel's Messiah. That should be christmas feeling. I am glad that tomorrow is payday. I love those days. I am glad for direct deposit also so I don't have to worry about it. Robin graduates tomorrow afternoon so we are going to that in that afternoon. It is cold here but the wind is what makes it feel so cold. When the wind isn't blowing it isn't too bad. We just walk in the underground malls as much as we can. I am so excited for you to come home. I love it when we are all together. LOVE YA MOM

Thursday

Well my Thursday has been good. I am glad that tomorrow is Friday (and payday) though. They are going to take a company picture tomorrow so I have to wear my red shirt. i told Tom that I think that I had hit my quota with pictures this year what with the magazine and movie and everything, but he said that I still had to be in this one too. Oh well I tried. I am glad that you are having a fun trip. Has it been cold there? Well I better go. have a great one. BYE
