California Dreamin' (06/03/27)

We missed out on a great holiday I think. Joyce, Marcel, and Ariana traipsed about San Diego enjoying the warmer weather and the company. (Robin and Yuriko and kids.) They even got to Hollywood! It's great having family and friends all over the world to visit, and impose upon. We usually offer to reciprocate, but Miami,MB isn't a 'destination hot spot'.

Apparently though, a Winnipeg radio station sponsored a contest to win a trip to 'Miami' a while back. The folks that won boarded a bus and were all set to head to 'Miami'. To their dismay they ended up here. Some thought it was funny, most of them were pretty upset.

It must have been a shocker for all of those war brides from Britain to arrive here on the prairies. It was a shocker for me too. Travelling from Winnipeg down the 'road that never ends',(that's Lucas&'s phrase) was a bit freaky. I finally looked at it from a different perspective when I complained of boring landscape, Yuriko called it 'exotic'.

Yeah, that's what we are. Exotic. And it's 'Ourami' now.
