Well, there is 5 days to go until the Commonwealth Games start. It's a very big deal here...everyone talks about it and Bendigo even has some of the events here. I think I've told you but I'm going to feild hockey event between Australia and Canada. Australia will win, no doubt...I think they're the gold medal champions from the Olympics...but our team needs a few Canucks cheering them on. But, Smiths Chips, a potato chip company has launched a new product offering some of the flavours from the countries represented...including England with Lamb and Mint, Australia's Sausage Sizzle and Canada's Bacon & Cheese. Which is absolutely amazing. We're actually thinking about taking $100 from our free shopping money to buy just these chips..I'm sure they're laced with heroin because they are so addictive...But I keep telling Meg, they're so good because they're Canadian. Eh?

Well, this weekend is supposed to be stinking hot, with tomorrow going up to 34 degrees and Sunday is going to be a roasting 39 degrees! OUCH. And we've got a long weekend this weekend, with Labour Day here in Victoria. I might even get a chance to do some golfing on Monday. Should be a good weekend. Well, I gotta get ready for church tonight. See you guys later. Don't forget to comment too!

Yah Canadian Bacon & Cheese!! That's sounds much better than Lamb & Mint. Yuck! What were they thinking?

I haven't really heard much about the Commonwealth Games yet. Maybe once things are underway we'll hear something, but people here are still in the post-Olympic mode. Some of the athletes are just getting home, especially the speed skaters that got so many medals. They went to Worlds in Holland after the Olympics, so now they're back and doing press conferences.
Wish you were here. We're having a party at Gramma & Poppa's tonight to celebrate Gramma's BD. Maybe we'll have a wild game of Big King! Love you guys. Mom.
