Her little boy


Wow! Lookit these two. Taking a boat ride around Bowen Island off Vancouver. Are they cute or what? And is she proud of him? You betcha. He (Johnny, her baby boy) owns the best restaurant on Bowen Island[www.thegalleybistro.com] where she (Martha) gets free martinis. How great is that? Life takes some funny twists doesn't it? Bring it on.

Unicorn Blood


Our grandson Jack is staying with us in PEI for two weeks while his parents are having their own summer adventure in China. Jack and I were washing our hands after 9 holes of golf when some liquid soap spilled on the sink. "Hey," he said, "It looks like Unicorn blood."

The scary part is that I know what he was talking about.* We've been watching a lot of movies at night -- in the station wagon. Yes, we're sleeping in the car. He thinks it's more fun than a tent. Who am I to argue? I'm just the kid's grandfather, I gladly do what I'm asked! And on we go! -Merrill
