I had a rough day today



The photo above is funny if you are familiar with Dora the Explorer, the children's show!

Father's Day went well yesterday. Well, M discovered that his car battery had died the night before. So we tried to jump start it in the morning to no avail. We called CAA (Canadian Automobile Association) and they sent a battery expert over within 20 minutes. He restarted the car but determined that it was on its last legs (it was 5 years old anyway). We decided to let him install a brand new battery.

L and K decided to get their dad an oreo ice cream cake from Dairy Queen. They also got him a new shirt. Later that evening we went out to dinner with M's mom. L noticed that RyanDan, members of an old boy band group B4-4 were just leaving the restaurant and was able to get a nice photo taken with them. She says she might have fainted if she was still 11 years old!

Rylan LOVES Dora, the Explorer and watches it every day when he is at my home. What nice gifts for your husband from the kids. I am sure you had a great Father's Day, despite the dead battery.

I don't know Dora or boygroups, I think I am getting old! Sorry about the battery, but sooner or later they all go! Valerie

When my battery went out the car was parked in the garage. AAA (the American version) came and fixed it right there. It was awesome!

I'm so glad your Father's Day was good. Too bad about the battery though. Same thing happened to us a few months ago. We have to remember to use our second car to charge the battery.

My granddaughter loves Dora the Explorer. I like how she wraps up the shows with questions. When Leeya stays with us, we too do a recap of the day and a preview of tomorrow.

I love having AAA to come to my rescue and the fact that they can replace a battery. It makes life so much easier.
