So we are excited about coming home to rest at the end of the week! However, our job in the next few days is to get Ronan drinking more than a litre a day and eating.
So I asked Ronan what he most wanted to eat. A mango. No problem. Joe said he'd go to the Sobeys around the corner (the one that was miraculously open until 8pm on Sunday) and then go to Starbucks to get me a latte. Ronan, Malcolm and I waited and waited not really noticing the time because we were busy playing Monopoly Deal. Joe came back much later - no coffee, no mango. He had gone to Sobeys, decided to take a shortcut back, got lost and decided to come back first give us the mango and then get the latte. Somewhere on route he lost the mango. For those of you who know Joe I'm sure are getting a kick out of this. But he did stop by a bookstore and buy a book...maybe the mango is on the bookshelf at the bookstore Joe :)
Ronan was laughing so hard and then he said, "Dad really has a hard time with things".
Joe did go back to Sobeys, bought the mango and got the latte and Ronan did eat.

You guys are hilarious! Wish I could be there to greet you back to SJ! How sweet to get home. I'm excited for you!- kate
ReplyDeletehey! That's funny! We are feasting on mangoes here too! Not sure if sales are the same but they are on sale at Sobeys in SJ! And they are fantastic!
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking the dietitian in the family is happy to hear the Dad hunted and gathered a Mango for his boy. Keep eating and drinking Ronan!!! Ali and Joe, if you need to store anything while you're home in SJ we can pick stuff up and keep it here for you. Malcolm, did you beat anyone new at Blokus?

Hey Team Ronan - tomorrow morning during the first hour of Information Morning SJ, CBC will be debuting Penny Blacks' version of Clinton's "Only Love, Only Fear" in order to promote the show at the Blue Olive! Featuring the one and only Ali Leonard on violin!
ReplyDeleteWe're enjoying reading all the good news! Way to go Ronan!
Hi Ali...Just wanted to let you know that the prayers of St. Rose choir roll with our singing down over the pews every Sat. at four o'clock,for you and Ronan. Let him know how important he is to many people he doesn't know but yet they sing and play beautiful music for him, in a green church over on the West Side in Milford. Barbara and all the Larocques (and the members of St. Rose Choir ,congregation and Father Ralph)
ReplyDeleteYou had me keeling at "no mango, no latte." A certain Russian novelist partial to cerebral men in long black overcoats wandering city streets at night couldn't have invented the bookstore detail. Well …maybe he could:)
