Dear Retiree Friends
Walk in Quebec City was
Nothing For Me
I Walked for Two Hour in
Forest Trails

Longest Suspension Bridge
To Watch the Light Festival
That was all Hilly
Don't You worry about Me
You Have to Believe Me
I Did it -- I am Not Making it Up
I Don't Know How To
Handle Father
Father Please Stop Making
Your Breakfast
Leave it To Hannah
You are Making Things Extremely
Difficult For Everyone
Stop Throwing Ice on Niklas Face
You are Very Rude and
Selfish
I am Sorry to Say That
But You Leave No Choice for Me

I have posted the blog in Smile Corner. This is market day but customers are coming to my shop in waves. They come here to read the blog first before going to the market. We have lots of people from out of town who come to read blog and then do shopping. They are talking about Smile's travel blogs. Priest is here too. He is making some notes and reminding everyone of the sermon tomorrow. Customers are secretly smiling.

Dear Advisor,
ReplyDeleteThe retirees went for our long walk today. After that we had our lollipop. This walk, though very long for us, is nothing compared to the walks that you have.
The retirees are amazed that you are going to very adventurous places. The retirees also want to apologize to you for questioning your physical endurance. We were not implying that we dont believe you but we were just incredulous as we did not think it is even humanly possible. We are not only apologizing but have also suspended the membership of the retired travel agent as she was the one who initiated discussions about questioning your walking. She appealed to us and clarified that she has never seen senior walking there because of the hills in the many times that she has visited. We are now leaving that to you. We also pointed out to her that you have many important things to do, so may not get to it.
The retired nutritionist is tracking feedback from the hospitals and they are now using your recipes for all their breakfasts. Also the retired chef has confirmed that all 5 star properties that he reached out to have extremely high satisfaction ratings
thank you
recent retiree

ReplyDeleteDear Author,
ReplyDeleteThe students read your blog today at the SRC because the Smile Army still refuses to allow us to read the blog at the Smile Garden. There was some renovation going on at the SRC so we requested the Smile Army that because the weather is nice outside, it will be good to do the reading outdoors but they refused saying that this is Smile's Garden so until she says it, we are refused entry to do readings. One of our friend got a little upset and there were arguments broke out between them. They also are refusing entry after hours for us too. They brought some cake for us but we refused that and one of our angry commentator threw his piece in the garbage. The atmosphere is getting a little acrimonious. If you can help.
thank you

Oh Come ON! What is this ! Just give me a break - will yeah! Smile writes an amazing travelogue and does anyone has the courtesy to read?
ReplyDeleteI know .. I know ....
Thank you mrizvi. Brilliant comment - again
Caaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalllllllllllmmmmmmmmmmm down Plunker, just calm down.
ReplyDeleteFantatic job kiddo. You are bang on. How did you know that this is a good blog! You are right though
Your detailed depiction of your excursion to exotic places has got us on the edge of our seats. Like the retired ladies and gentlemen, we were flabbergasted that you chose to walk the hilly terrain of the old Quebec city. Tough we know that you are no sloth, but to saunter on suspended bridges and nocturnal hike in forested land is indeed very enterprising. We have heard accounts of whale watching but have yet to have the opportunity, but you made us feel part of the scenery there. Thank you for chronicling your holidays.
ReplyDeletePS: We also were alarmed at the brake misadventure. We are glad that you are safe.
Thank you for making our days brighter
