Ten Bucks Short.
Hey guys, I just got back from a few days up north at the cottage where I plan on spending at least a few days a week over the next few months writing scripts and working on diffent stuff without having to constantly be distracted like I am down here. It's great spending time at our family cottage and with Mom and Dad in Florida now for the winter, I'm the only one who ever goes up there. Last night there were these kick ass winds coming off the lake that actually blew down one of our neighbor's big huge pine trees. Mother nature is awesome!
Oh, there's something else I should tell you guys about. On Friday I went down to where my Grandpa and Grandma are buried in Simcoe. Friday was remembrance day so I wanted to put some sort of wreath or something at the gravesite. I found this cool kind of pine tree, coniferous sort of arrangement that will last throughout the winter which seemed like a good idea but when I went to pay for it, I realized it was way more expensive than I thought and I ended up being $10.00 bucks short at the till. I went out to my car to see if I had some loonies or twoonies in the ashtray and this guy walks up to me and says "how much do you need". He was behind me at the till and noticed that I was short some cash. Turns out I didn't have any change in my car at all so he gave me $10.00 bucks and his phone number at work so I could get a hold of him to pay it back later. I just got off the phone with him before I started typing out this blog. Cool story eh?
For no reason other than to help a complete stranger out, this guy loaned me $10.00 bucks, how awesome is that! I called him just now so I could say thanks once again and to let him know that I will be sending him his $10.00 bucks back on Tuesday morning. I couldn't do it today because I was up north still.
I just thought of a nice way for me to wrap up and tie this blog all together here. My grandpa who now has a nicely decorated gravesite because of the $10.00 bucks Larry loaned me, loved being up north. I use to go camping up north every summer with my grandparents when I was a kid. After my Grandma passed away, Grandpa wasn't doing so good so I asked a friend of mine if I could use his cottage for a couple days and take my Grandpa up north like he use to take me. I ended up shooting some video while we were there to show everyone in my family. How about now I show it to you guys as well. I'm also going to scan a few newspaper articles that were written about my grandpa and get them on the site here for you guys to read if you want. I'll do that a little later, for now you can check out these home movies of Grandpa and I up north if you are interested.
