back from vacation
yes, I am back for good this time. Well at least until next summer. So I suppose you want to know where I went, what I did and who I did it with?
The answer to the last question is no one. (lol)
Well first we spent two days driving to Shediac, NB. We stopped over night near Edmunston and stopped for lunch at my grandmother's house in Newcastle. We spent a week in a cottage in Shediac, doing the normal things, going to the beach, checking out the town, a little shopping spree in Moncton and going to see a movie on the day it rained (we saw the Bourne Supremacy, it could have been better).
After that we drove back to my grandmother's house and spent a week visiting with her. We played cards a lot of the time and went down to a beach that's about an hour away and has an native american name that I cannot pronounce. We also visited my... well it's kind of complicated. He would have been my step-grandfather (paternal, number two) but he got sick before the wedding. So I guess he's my step-grandfather everyway but legally. Anyways, we went to visit him in the hospital. He's got cancer. Started off as lung cancer, but it spread all over. He's holding hope that he'll live but... I hear different. The fact that my grandmother has his funeral all planned (down to the hymns) is not so encouraging. Seeing him in the hospital bed changed a few things in my mind. Not really sure what they were. I need time to let them sink in more.
Alright, less morbid stuff now. Cegep starts in two weeks. I'm excited about going back because I get to see the people that I don't normally see, like Tilly. 'Course I also get to see all the people I hate again, but meh. I generally just ignore those people. And hopefully they went off to John Abbott. Or better yet, failed.
The alumni site is coming along fine. We're up to 44 members now and I'm still hoping for more.
About Goldie now... well I'll leave that to my private blog.
So hope yous all are having an awesome summer and hope to see you in a few weeks.
Later guys. (and gals as I have been informed there are actually women who read this. Shocking.)
