Hi Michael and Anita,

Be not afraid! We have been keeping an eye on the site, just not so good at posting our own messages..Life with 2 kids under 4 does that to us.

We are down here at mom's this weekend. Spent the day at John and Tina Moshers- really hot here this weekend and laid around their pool all day- mom, dad, and kids were like raisins by the end of the day. Claire was diving, jumping all alone (with a lifevest of course) and Ryan- well lets just say we could not keep him out of the water which meant no rest for us!.

We will head back this afternoon in time for Claire's swimming lessons- I think she is going to be a swimmer like her mom. She was asking yesterday how many days till you come home- a few weeks ago- 35 days seemed like a lot to her- as you know her majic number is 30. I don't believe she really understands how many that is- she just knows it is a lot.

Not a lot new here- Steve has taken all of his weekends off this summer- so very nice to have him around- we have been making sure we plan ahead to make best of the summer- which by the way has finally arrived.

So have fun, take care and enjoy the rest of your vacation- Sounds as if this has opened your eyes to a whole new world!

Stay safe,

Janet (Steve and kids)

hey h*&o, how's it goin? The pictures are quite nice, i am very jealous of your trip. And by the way, Nina, you are quite stunning in the traditional garments. Satch, I'M WRITING THIS MESSAGE FROM cALGARY AS THE SUN IS COMIMG UP AT 5:03 AM AFTER SPENDING A NIGHT WITH gARRETT AND THE OTHER H*^O (SORRY FOR THE GRAMMER). WE TRIED TO SPEND A NIGHT ON THE TOWN BUT I'M AFRAID WE GOT A LATE START AND MISSED MOST OF THE ACTION FOR MOST OF THE LATE EVENING ESTABLISHMENTS HAD ALREADY CLOSED. WE DIDN'T EVEN REALLY HAVE ANY SUCCESS AT THE CASINO( SOUND FAMILIAR). ANYWAYS, I'M DROPPIN' , SO I'M GONNA GO> HAVE A GREAT TIME ON THE REMAINDER OF YOUR TRIP. BE SAFE AND SAY HI TO BEAUTIFUL NINA FOR MARK AND I.
LATER FRIEND

No problem Greg. Hope the day went well. Your birthday rained here! So have some joy in that you probably had better weather that day in NF then we did. Sad to hear about Yzerman. The NHL won't be the same for me without him. I am going to have to pic a new player to follow but I will always be a wings fan. Mom hope you are not lonely in that house while your man is home building the next one. Dad sounds like the house is moving a long well. Janet and steve where have you been?? Just joking. How is my car? Apartment etc? Chris and Geo, good to see you on the board!! Deanne Its about time!! Jay and Edna I am keeping good care of your daughter and she is doing the same for me. We are having a great time. Timmy glad to see you not there in the past few days!! haha just joking...down. Chief you would love this trip. A lot of the things we have been doing had your name all over it. Ton, hope the knee is healing and the clot is gone!. Rowe we may be in Saint John The weekend of the 29th. Maybe we can have a few beers and talk about your big news..I'm happy for you! To everyone else thanks for all the messages. They are great!
Cheers

The fiji photo's are definately my favourite. Couple of hot ones of Mike 'sans chemise'!

Mike, its July 14th and I just read your birthday message for the first time. Thank you for the kind words. I am flattered you remembered ...particularly given your new lifestyle. I look forward to sharing a cake with you and Anita next time we are together. Fiji sounds like a great place. Can't believe you are there! Jane says hello to both of you. When do you return? I see Tony has told you about Yzerman. Lots of other activity throughout the league. Mom & Dad's house has four walls but is missing a roof. Mom tells me she is traveling to St. J's early August. When do you guys return? Are you home sick at all? Talk soon.

Hi Mike & Anita

Great hearing from you and seeing all the awesome pictures. We can only imagine what you guys are experiencing. We are a little envious but truly happy that you got to do this fabulous adventure at this time in your lives. Enjoy the rest of your time in Figi and have a safe trip back home

Greg !! Good morning. I say that now even though I will be heading to bed soon but to everyone out there reading this it is most certainly the AM. Its 10:00 PM July 11 here and at the earliest its 7:30 AM in Newfoundland. I am hoping to be the first one to message on July 11 and hoping that Greg you are reading today. I wanted to be the first to wish you HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! My hopes were to send a post card with us holding a cake or at least a cupcake but it didn't happen. Things are not that simple in Fiji. You can't just go get a peice of cake at the store. So Greg you can picture it in your head. We are both thinking of you and hoping that you have a great day. July 11 is almost finished here. Have a piece of cake, glass of wine or something on us!! I would say that your gift is in the mail but that would be a lie. Too expensive from here and it would probably get to you in November. I'll post it when we get back to Canada. In the mean time here is a little something to get you through..........

OK everyone reading , all at once ..... Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you.....You know the rest. Have a good one and I'll talk to you soon.

Hey guys,

looks like you are having an awesome time...can't wait to hear more about it when you get back! You are almost to Johnny's level there with all those pics! Some old messages on here now man......spent the last 10 minutes reading them all......speed reader right! What are the odds of getting a few pics of public nudity....kidding! I hear you guys are going to be over this way for the end of July...your welcome to crash at our place..just as good as Australia here these days! I'd say you packed Coachman hotdogs and home made/mini pizzas not curry chicken, rice and baby lamb... just like the recent camping trips...and cranium of course!

Enjoy the rest of your trip and we'll see you soon!

We hope you can make it over this way in Nov. as well!

Take Care,

Mark & Carolyn
