SURPRISE! Yeah right, I lost 20 bucks…..

I am not sure who ended up winning the office pool, but September 20^th is as long as she could hold out. When the children were born early my mom was still in Yellowknife visiting her other grandson (our Godson Gabriel). On the day she returned to Nova Scotia and went back to work, her co-workers started placing bets on how long it would take Deanne to book a flight up to see her 2^nd, 3^rd, and 4^th grandchild. There was no real rush to get to Sudbury because she had previously scheduled a 3 month leave of absence to come up and help out starting in November. Any gambler knows this had no effect on the Vegas odds of her coming to Sudbury. Highest odds were running for the early days of September, but she managed to hold out till the 3rd quarter of September until she finally cracked and decided ‘logic be damned’. She arrived in Sudbury on Wednesday to “surprise us”. Thanks to Glen for being so understanding, we certainly need her here.
