May 16, 2012

Hi Tehja and Taylor. We just heard that a “strep bug” is visiting your house. We hope it doesn’t stay long!

We are doing our best to stay healthy and fit. Grandpa still does push-ups and Grandma still does head-stands. We love swimming and going for bike rides. We hate strep bugs and hope they don’t come to visit us.

We eat well. In fact, for this Sweet 16 day we once again caught the bus and went to “Wine Connections” and had some red meat. It was a rainy day (we are in the “wet season” now) so we had to use umbrellas and our ponchos.

Our friends Julie and Steve from “Aqua Dreams” joined us again. Afterwards, we worked off our meal by taking the escalator up a couple of flights and enjoying some ice cream at another restaurant. Like I said, we eat well.

We then said good-bye to Julie and Steve and then went computer shopping. We are now the proud owners of “Toshiba III” – our third Toshiba Satellite laptop. Our other two, which are both suffering from computer strep (they’ve been sick for a while), are no longer reliable. But they gave us many years of good service so we aren’t complaining.

Other things we have done since the last Sweet 16 day:
-        went to the dentist to get our teeth cleaned
-        ordered two Kindle e-book readers
-        went sailing and actually sailed (there’s often not enough wind here)
-        enjoyed Loretta’s homemade Key Lime Pie
-        tucked CanKata into a marina and moved into our condo unit

Now that it is spring in Canada, you are probably spending more time outdoors and riding your bikes. When you do, just imagine: Grandma and Grandpa will probably be riding their bikes that day, too!

Bye for now!
All our love,
