August 2012

Ya know, life isn't fair. All of you probably knew that already. I mean, you smash your finger in the tail gate of your gravel truck, you not only have to suffer the pain but you have to endure the humiliation of being dumb enough to have injured yourself that way. Next you have to deal with the frustration of not being able to use the finger properly for the next few weeks while the pain subsides.Then, then, just when you're ready to use it again, you have this nail flopping around, threatening to drop off, except only 93.5 % is ready to fall off, the other 5.5 is settled in to the nail bed like a bad molar in a healthy jaw bone. Now with a rogue nail ready to take out an eye when putting on your glasses or nip your juglar while adjusting your shirt collar you have to deal with it. You cut it back as best you can but you're left with the 5.5% that has that little hook that catches everything in the vicinity, slipping on a t-shirt, it catches the sleeve and you find yourself in a Brazilian Ju-jitsu arm lock, blowing your nose, you're left with a shredded tissue and a palm full of boogers. COME ON!
I know what you're all thinking too. You're saying, oh boy, Edweirdo is so flustered it's messed up his mathematics, his numbers don't add up, but you'd be forgetting the 1% I burned away with that paper clip.

Have a great day

Loved

Dear Ed,
Well, you've started off the month of August with another pain-filled story that brought tears of laughter to my eyes. I had to read this one aloud to Paul who has not been following the blog. Then he wanted to hear some of your other stories as well. I've had a lot of fun going back over a few of my favourite postings. Thanks for funny images of sore-o-full situations. Take care, eh!

LOL, Louise

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, MARIE AND LUI!

You have been in our thoughts all day today. We have been out and about the city of Kelowna enjoying the warm, summer weather.

Congratulations on 44 years of marriage! We hope your Friday anniversary is just the beginning of a weekend of family celebrations in your honour. May the year ahead be a healthy, happy one for both of you.

Cheers and lots of love
Louise and David

Dear Loved,
Really enjoyed (is that the right word?)your latest instalment of "On The Road to Self-Destruction." You can't keep hurting yourself like this. On the other hand, we will all be very disappointed if we stop getting these monthly reports on your latest misadventure. Try to stay healthy.
Love, BJ

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BRANDON MAZERALL!

We know that you will probably not get our blog greetings directly but we hope that Lorraine or Thomas will relay them to you.

In the meantime, we are enjoying your Sunday birthday in the extreme heat of the Okanagan Valley. You can bet that we'll have a tall, cool drink in your honour.

Have a good day as you turn 23. May the year ahead be one of the best ever for you. Cheers!

Congratulations and best wishes,
Louise and David

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JACOB!

We hope your 17th birthday celebration is an enjoyable one for you, your family and your friends.

Here in West Kelowna, the sun is shining and summer is sharing all its wonderful gifts with us. We are thinking of you and are wishing you the same kind of abundance under Saskatchewan skies. Have a happy day.

Congratulations and lots of love,
Louise and David

BELATED BIRTHDAY WISHES, CARTER!

We were not anywhere near a computer on your Monday, August 13th birthday but we thought of you with the best of wishes on your very first birthday.

Thanks to your mom, we were lucky enough to see your birthday pictures on facebook in the week before we left to visit friends in Fintry, BC. It looks like you had a wonderful family celebration.

We hope your second year of life is as happy and healthy as the first.

Lots of love, Louise and David

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BOB!

Greetings from us in Westbank, BC! We hope you are having a good day in Ottawa as you celebrate your 74th birthday.

We will be having supper with friends on this night before Louise leaves to join her sisters in Saskatoon. (She has an early morning flight from Kelowna and will be met by Vic and BJ when her plane lands in Saskatoon.)

In the meantime, we plan to order ourselves a wee dram and raise a warm toast to you. May you enjoy good health today and throughout the coming year. Cheers!

Congratulations and lots of love,
Louise and David

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JUSTIN!

This is just a quick greeting before Louise boards a plane for Saskatoon but it is as sincere as it can be.

We hope your Thursday birthday is a happy one from start to finish. May the coming year be productive and satisfying for you. Stay well!

Cheers and lots of love,
Louise and David

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LEONARD!

This greeting is coming to you from Saskatoon where all of your sisters are gathered for a reunion.

I hope your Friday birthday is off to a good start. To this 70 year old sister, 53 sounds like such a young age. I guess it's all relative, little brother of mine.

Enjoy your special day. May the year ahead be a celebration of all the good things that life has in store for you. Cheers!

Lots of love,
Louise and David

Cheers and lots of love,

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LUI!

Even as I am writing, the Beatles song "When I'm 64" is running through my head. I imagine you are singing the words yourself on this special birthday.

Congratulations! Enjoy your day, however you choose to celebrate. Later tonight, we will raise a celebratory toast in your honour. We hope you are well today and that your good health and happiness continue throughout the coming year. Cheers!

And yes, Lou, we DO still need you now you're 64!

Lots of love,
Louise and David
