They're gone for two weeks now. They left yesterday to visit family in Alberta - Dead Rear, to be exact. Well, not exact but if you know where that is, you'll understand.

Gone 24 hours and I've already had two phonecalls. They miss me as much as I miss them, I guess It's going to be a long couple weeks, me thinks!
