Yesterday was really great. My grampa apparently decided not to entertain the entire building again, so it was just family instead :D I drove up with Amber and Shane, and my aunt came out from BC too. Grampa made the most DELICIOUS potato salad too. Shane gave me the compliment, and I was all "I just stirred it XD" (which is typically how a meal is made. Grampa does the choosing of foodables, seasons it, and I either cut stuff up to put IN said foodables, or stir things, or mix them, or whatever.) It was such a delicious meal, and it was all the better because we weren't running around like crazy trying to prepare food for 40 people. We ate outside in the little covered area at their building, and later on, Uncle George and his "new" wife stopped by in time for ice cream :D

(no one cares, I'm sure; Uncle George was married to Gramma's sister, but when she died in 2004, he got remarried a year or so later? I was actually really happy that he did; when Shelley's mom died in 2005, someone told me that especially in long marriages, when one partner dies, if the other doesn't find something/someone else to fill their time, they tend to follow within a year, probably due to sheer boredom and loneliness. Uncle George even said he was lonely, so I'm really happy he found someone to share his time with :3)

Anyway, it was a great day. So warm, and so perfect to sit outside in the shade ('cause it was really stupidhot out otherwise). Dad and I ran out to Brett's, but first we went out to Tillicum Beach where the spring we got our drinking/safe water from for 2 years was, and had a few slurps of it :D My aunt painted my toes shiny pink, which actually matched my sandals. And she also said that if I ever want to go visit Nanaimo again, I have a spot on her couch for as long as I want it :D

I did notice the new in quotation marks and thought "oh, that's interesting!" I'm strange *small blush*.

I say "new" because I don't know how long they've been married ^^;; Certainly, within the last 4 years, but HOW new, I'm not sure. I think I knew they were married a long time ago, I just couldn't quite remember.
