First day in Chatham

Had a great time today!  Dad started off the morning by golfing with the boys.  Can't tell you a whole lot about that other than I know he had a great time.  The weather was perfect, not hot like we had expected.  Just the type of warm summer days that we have, no humidity!  It was just beautiful. 
While Dad was golfing, I went to visit Cortney and she made me into my regular old "one hot mamma" self!  I got spoiled with the wonderful head massage, the whole works.  She was even impressed Keri by your hair cutting skills on my bangs!  She didn't mention that she would hire you, but then again, it wasn't the worst she had seen either!  It did the job for the two days I had it.  At least they were not hanging in my eyes!

When we got back to Lena's we went exploring in her car!   Wow was that ever fun!  Top down, wind blowing through my recently done hair, just wonderful!  I wanted to wear a scarf like Thema and Louise, but didn't.  Those movie shots were your hair just blows back in the wind, just are NOT true!  It just doesn't work that way!  My hair was blowing EVERYWHERE BUT, behind me!  It was in my face, in my face and then in my face some more!

We went to visit Pete on the job who still works for Henry Heyink.  It was cool to see all of the new machinery, and dad see some of the guys he used to work with.  We then went to see Derek also who still works for Henry.  What an operator he is.  I don't know a lot about machine operators, but I watched that young man operate that huge hoe with great expertise!  One attachment to another, with such ease and grace!  He's not the little boy he used to be although he is not your dad's mini me he is your dad's maxi me!

After the nice tour, we went to what used to be a bustling mall.  Well it used to be a bustling mall, it has now taken the hit like all other malls, lots of empty stores.  We did find a Bluenotes though, so those nice shorts you bought dad Curt we can exchange.  That should happen today. 

Dad wanted to visit his old boss.  That was a nice visit.  They live in probably one of the biggest houses I have ever seen.  We could probably park our Yukon on their kitchen table!  They still are such wonderful people though.  It was so nice to see them.

When we got to Lena's, her whole family was there.  Those kids are no longer kids.  They all have wonderful families with sweet little darlings.  The boys were playing Billy the Exterminator.  They had quite a few rubber snakes (which didn't sit too well with your dad) but they had such fun.  Four boys just being boys.  Greg had a sweet Sophie with him who is just a little lady.  So fun to see another generation of Dekens growing up.

I did get to watch Big Brother.  Your dad promised me they did have TVs in Ontario, and I did get to watch poor Lawan exit the house and bad Brenden re-enter.  Look out now!

Well guys, your dad is waiting for me to get ready, so I hope that some pictures will make it to this blog.  Keri found our camera!  Now to get some pictures on here.!
