Another road trip update.
I'm going to try to type this as my parents dictate.
This post could use editting but will be uneditted.
Dad: Start by mentioning how dissappointed you are that nobody has posted comments on our video update. That will be the last time we do that. You also better mention Jim Duncan and Stan Perrault specifically when you say you are dissappointed.
Mom: The last 2 days have been....
Dad: Eventful, Mom sprained her knee...
Mom: Sigh.
Mom: We left off after Yamada Sensei's house.
Dad: There will be no more video contributions because Danny's been told that he looked drunk.
Dad: Okay, so we went off to Matsushima bay.
Mom: Took the ferry.
Dad: Beautiful.
Mom: Absolutely gorgeous.
Dad: Purchased a cane.
Mom: Why do you say that...don't even go there?
Dad: I think you should say that it was serendipitous that we found the cane. I like that word, and we were lucky to find it....that word'll have Jimmy looking for the Funk and Wagnall.
Mom: Anyway, we hiked up to the viewpoint.
Dad: I thought it was similar to Horseshoe bay.
Mom: There were numerous small islands...
Dad: Dotting the bay
Mom: We walked along the beach...
Dad:
Mom: Repast...R.E.P.A.S.?
Dad: T. Trust me.
Mom: Then we took the train to downtown Sendai and enjoyed a great....what do you call it?
Dad: Dinner.
Mom: With four of Tony's friends.
Dad: I think Tom kinda liked you?
Mom: Oh geez.
Dad: Not in the sense that you just said, Oh geez.
Mom: Have we got anything about the weather?
Me: Well, talk about it.
Dad: Well, Tony, you told us that it hadn't snowed in March in 25 years, and it's snowed the last two days.
Mom: I have to wear my clothes to bed.
Dad: I'm going to bed.
Mom: We should wear toques to bed.
Mom: Happy Easter to everybody.
Dad: It's not Easter yet.
Mom: Finish it off so we can play cards.
Dad: (Referring to Mom's drunkenness (SHE IS HAMMERED)) Joanne you are pissed as a newt.
Me: How do you spell newt?
Mom: That's enough. You're a danger.

that banter ruled. I am loving the updates with your parents...

p.s. I took offence to comment that "nobody" posted about your video blog.
Now that was one of the most entertaining blogs I've ever read. I can just imagine the banter happening. Truly entertaining stuff. The fact that Aunty Jo was "pissed as a newt" just makes it funnier. Was her intoxication a contributing factor to the unfortunate happenings of the knee? Or was this just as a result of utter clumsiness? You need to elaborate on this more.

The Frosts and the Victoria Bells were very impressed with this post. Your daughter-in-law and grandson read the dialogue, with Meryck playing the part of Doots very convincingly. We give the post a 9 out of 10. You would have gotten a 10 out of 10 except for the fact that you made your grandson say a curse-word. Let's keep these postings rated "g", please.
Happy Easter all!
Love from Kianna, Terry, Kianna, Terry, Kianna, Meryck, Kianna, Teena and Jimmy.
PS, we're emailing pictures.
I couldn't see the video..so no comment about that. It is great to hear that all is well with D&J's Japanese Adventure...pretty funny chatter. A little concerned about being blown off for a card game...but with a sore knee and all we'll let her off the hook.
Cheers,
J,C and L
