WE WON!!!

How can you tell we're living in a smaller community? Let me tell ya.

Aileen was reading the local paper, the Nanaimo News Bulletin, last week and noticed the birthday and anniversary section of the classifieds. It said that not only would the paper publish all names provided, but - and I quote - "1 LUCKY PERSON each week (picked by draw) will be awarded a complimentary Dinner for Two at SWISS CHALET, a complimentary 8" DAIRY QUEEN Ice Cream Cake, a gift from GROWER DIRECT and a Portrait from SEARS PORTRAIT STUDIO."

So Aileen saw that and couldn't resist, because today, August 13th is our 18th wedding anniversary. Daleena rolled her eyes and said "Your not REALLY gonna do THAT are you?" But if you know Aileen, you know that she DID do that. And whad'yu know... Thursday night we come home and have a phone message saying that WE HAD WON!

Whoo-hoo!!!

We picked up our marvelous prize package from the palatal offices of the Nanaimo News Bulletin, and if you want to come over for ice cream cake tonight, come and get it while it's hot...er, cold!

I guess we should 'a went out and got a ticket for the big 6-49 draw yesterday...we're on a roll! (Ah, for you religious people out there, the the 6-49 thing is a joke...)
