This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for September 15, 2008:
I have alot of family stories to draw from - which makes it difficult to choose just one. Not so long ago I wrote about some news that I learned about my grandparents here I think though some of my fondest memories of my family were the stories that my grandfather shared. I remember stories of him working in the shanty, delivering cheese in Bearbrook, Ontario, and working in the mines in Sudbury. One of the funniest stories I remember is he told me about my father. One Saturday morning, my father was sprawled out, watching cartoons on television. He was maybe 8 or 9 years old at the time. My grandfather was a joker, loved to play pranks and jokes, and was always filled with laughter, even in the most difficult times. On that day, he came out of the kitchen, while his son was deeply engrossed in the televions, and slapped a cold pancake covered with corn syrup on the bottom of my father's barefoot. I can just picture my father's reaction, and I can still hear him laughing his deep laugh remembering what he did to his son. I will always remember that story, and laugh about it too.
Stories are a wonderful way to remember.

um…. I don't know if lol is god enough for that. But, lol. That would be gross, I think. But in any case, I think you should do that to someone as soon as you can to create more memories and some more laughter. But uh, if it makes that's person mad you could blame it on me….like that would work. But thanks for sharing nonetheless. That's awesome. Have a good day, Leigh-Anne. :+)
