Hi mom.
This blog is addressed directly to Andrea Wynn, from her loving son who is tired of being nagged about not writing blogs. Today was our last day before leaving for our three day 'vacation' to Kerala. We had to spend the entire day earning our 'vacation' with some good old fasioned manual labour. The staff at FFC had suddenly decided that it was time for the co-op women's sewing project to be moved down three flights of stairs, a street over, and up two floors in a different building (you gotta use the slaves while you still have them...). This process led to a fun and exciting day of sweating and lugging extremely heavy sewing machines (antiques?...definitely made before 1900)and, better yet, sewing machine tables, along with massive bags of scrap cloth. But it wasn't all bad, because between the two locations, we were able to ride in the back of a motor rickshaw (not on the venturing out form...).
With bags of scrap material under our legs and exhaust in our lungs we were finally able to bring the entire menagerie of sewing equipment to its new location only two flights of rickety, extremely narrow, stairs above. We finally finished this task and all felt very rewarded by our successful transfer of several tons of cast iron machinery from point A all the way to point B. We really hope they don't decide they liked it better the way it was before. We finally rewarded ourselves with a game of frisbee with the older boys (who now have some new neighbours above them). Now we have begun packing for Kerala and are very excited for our three day vacation, but we'll miss the kids at FFC all the same.
Note: Blogging may be inconsistent for the next few days due to the unpredictable internet situation in Kerala.
Bye mom
Love: Josh and Daniel (see even for a blog post I can hire a ghost writer)

Glad to (finally)read a post from both writer and ghostwriter. Maybe we'll get a report about your Kerala trip on your return(hint hint). Have a great time.
Dear Josh (and Daniel),
Well done. Lots of manual labour and you still maintain a sense of humour. I am glad you are feeling better, but figured you were when you called me at midnight last night to let me know Eric Clapton was coming to Toronto in May and that you need tickets. Enjoy your trip to Kerala. Have a wonderful time. Remember how much Allie likes elephants (if you see something for her). Travel safe.
Have a great time in Kerala you twelve, y'all deserve it.
Katie send a postcard if you can, hope you are taking tons of photos. Love you missy.
Hello dear Daniel and Josh,
We share the excitement of your families to finally hear from you.
Tried to send this yesterday, but promptly lost it!
In any event, after your hard, hard work of moving sewing equipment, we hope you enjoy a wonderful trip to Kerala. Surely, you won't have time to think about the Canadian folks dealing with all that snow. But honestly, it was just wonderful to stomp our way through the almost trackless York Regional forest after the last heavy snow fall. The sky was crystal blue and the snow scape untouched . . . that morning we had -18C - quite frankly, our kind of weather!
So happy and safe travels to all of you,
Love,
The Somanns
Have a safe and exciting trip!
BTW, just for the record- I finally posted before Marky Mark!
