So where I left off I have no idea.... but it was prob around the time that my folks were going to come to town.... here it goes..... awhile back I was starting to plan a couple week for my folks.... talked my two aunts from NY into coming out and my uncle from NS to come out also.... and they agreed.... awesome.. That part worked out.... so my aunts got here from NY... to funny... they are well Elaine is crazier than a bag of hammer... and rita is rita... pretty serious.... anywho.. They arrived here on Monday.... cool... got to hang out with them... plan how were were gong to suprise my folks... so we desided to just get them to sit down stairs... the kitchen over looks the living room.... so they did... then tues the folks arrive... so i showed them around the house.. Was pretty late like 12 in the evening or something like that so they were tired... so i showed them around... then mom looked over the railing and just seen two people.. And said hi like it was someone she didn’t know.... but then she realized who it was.... then was like what the fuck u guys doing here... that is mom... then dad looked and didnt believe it was them. so they came up stairs and they all had their hugs and shit.... has been quite a few years since they seen each other also.... so we all planned what we were going to do. Head over to BC to see the other sister jean. They never saw each other all together in 18 years... that’s what i said 18 years..... So that was the plan to head to BC and surprise jean... my uncle Jackie was up in edm at his sons place... they were gong to meet us there... so we headed over... 10 hours drive threw the mountains all stuffed into my truck.... i enjoyed it.. But they found it a bit cramped... but what can ya do.... my mother was just so amazed by the mountains... it was like she was a little kid again... for prob 9 hours she was like oh my gawd and shit.. Kind of funny... so we made it to BC where my aunt jean lives.... agassiz its called i think... and we went in the first night... she was sorta suprised.... but confused.... sadly to say few years ago she had a stroke and now her memory is sorta bad... but it was so great to see her again.. She looked so good also. And was somewhat of a tear fest... but all good... considering everything that went on in their lives..... But all good... so the next day jackie arrived and the family was set... all 5 kids together... first time in 18 years... unreal really how things just fall into place when u dont think they will.....so we visited with jean for a bit.. Toured around Vancouver a bit... nothing to awfully special really… it rained... rained and rained lol… but we did go eat at the atlantic trap in gill there… small but nice… so yea… that was that… then we headed out to dinner at some local place to get some chow… the whole family were there. Me mom dad my three aunts and uncle... his son and wife. And grand daughter. His wife. My aunt’s two kids and her husband. Also a few others I sort of forget been awhile now. So that was all good. We spent as time as we could with them then we had to leave and make the long trek back to Calgary... had so much more to see they were only here for 2 weeks and were already into it 6 days by now. The next weekend we planned on heading to Edmonton to see the big mall. A great friend of mine Tanya offered for us to stay at her place while she was out town it worked out great in a way... she didn’t get to meet them but we did get a place to stay.. And I am very grateful for her offering her place to us. So yea headed up there to see the big mall... hung out took pictures it was all good. Then after a couple days there back to Calgary to see a bit of the city here not much as I had to work can’t just go take 2 weeks off work. That is just nuts. So yea… all in all it was a great visit. My folks and aunts flew out on the same day. Was pretty quiet around here when they left and no more home cooked meals. But it was great seeing them all.
