the Night I (Jermia) killed our doG?!?!

It all started on a quiet Sunday evening. We had a wonderful weekend with a visit from our Oma and Opa Verhoeff. A weekend of food, drink, merriment and games. To set the stage I want to express that my wife Anya is a wonderful cook and makes most things from scratch and very healthy.

This was one of those occasions as she bought a roasted chicken cut and prepared the meat for a wonderful chicken noodle soup. Her cooking is always to die for, but usually not literally. You see after cleaning up from the weekend I managed to leave the garbage out after I was done. And as I am thoroughly into reading Harry Potter I thought I would sit down for a moment and read, well one moment passed to another and after about 30 minutes of moments I went to steep a tea but to my surprise there was garbage everywhere. To this was Anya's shock that Boof Verhoeff, (the Dogs name) had eaten the entire carcass of the chicken including the bones. It was weird as a cold sweet came over me in a helpless understanding of what an entire skeleton would do to the insides of a dog, so I called up all the 24 hr pet hospitals and asked what would happen to the dog and what I could do.

Are you ready for this....well I will finish my tragic tale when I get back from class.....

Don't be fooled, Quack, Quack

Every time I see a flock of little ducklings I run or get out my axe....well maybe not an axe, but when we were in Vict0ria this is what we saw and were appalled by the sight of the moral and social degradation that has lead to ducks doing the inconceivable... robbing the innocent. This almost feels like a sick backwards Robin Hood, with the ducks robbing from the poor and giving to the rich, I bet they are giving all this money to Petroleum executives to make their pockets even thicker, I bet these ducks would even steal candy from a baby!! What has happened to our society? I give up, if you feel like you can muster it leave a comment about this sick sight..ahhhh

Ohhhh boyyyy, where have we been?

Well, hello our friends, so sorry for the long delay in writting to your about our adventures, here are some of the things that are new, well maybe a little covered in dust since we last met.

SETTLERS OF CATAN CHAMPIONSHIP!!!

My wonderful wife has risen up against all the world at SABC for the first ever Settlers of Catan tournament. She played nearly flawless and came away winning a limited edittion 3D copy of the game. For those interested there will be a tournament each year in January with all monies raised going to the camp. For $35 per couple you can't go wrong. Check out this sweet board. I am so proud of my lovely wife.

This is the tough crowd for the final. 4 drooling games.....
