What a picture perfect day.  Blue, cloudless skies and warm sunshine.  It was hard to decide how we all wanted to spend the day.  Dad and Uncle Jacob decided to go golfing, then to the big car show downtown.  The rest of us headed to the Cloverdale swap meet to see what we could find.  Most of us got a little something small to buy.  Monica got the largest purchase - a breadmaker for $15.  The Raposos left us to go drop Talia off at the ferry - she was off to visit her friend on the Island for the night.  Then, they headed to Dave's relatives in Surrey.  Mom, Monica and I went to Red Robin for a hamburger lunch before dropping Monica at home in Aldergrove.  When mom and I got back home, the weather was still so nice, so we joined dad and Jacob outside in yard for some conversation.  We ate a barbecued steak dinner, with salad and watermelon.  We all agreed it was nice to sit outside and eat for once!  Then, Uncle Jacob, dad and I went downstairs to play some guitar.  Dad had to work, so he headed to bed early, but Uncle Jacob and I stayed a while longer to chat, and Tristan got home and joined us for a bit.  What another superb day!
