Saturday – as planned

Ashlan: Pack, eat, text friend, pack, wait for friend, friend arrives, hug Mom, leave, talk – talk – talk, find passport, arrive at UBC, unload car, hug Daddy, unpack, study?, see friends

Carl: Get up first, gas car, money, breakfast goodies and coffee, newspaper, wait, wait a little more, hug Jay, drive, find passport, wait (40 minutes on the way up), find parking, unload car, hug Ashlan, drive, wait (2 hours on the way back), find passport, drive, hug Jay, go to party (50th, not his)

Jay: Get up second, file, find things, blog, finish questionnaire, get driven, hug Ashlan, test, walk, eat, on-line research, taxes (still), hug Carl, go to party (same as above).
Test included many things, and another set of words to remember. Once after looking at them for 3-1/2 minutes, then unannounced later.
House, Ocean, Jury, Exam, Tank, Church, Woman, Flag, Dirt, Garden, Star, Bird, Painter, Vest, Money, Alcohol, Kettle, Iron, Rattle, Lemon. On the first go-around I missed one word. On the second, I got them all.
Once again I used the make a picture-story method. Mine – House on the Ocean, substitute Dirt for sand, flagpole outside the house with a Star on the Flag and a Bird perched on top, a Garden around the house, the Woman was heating water in a Kettle on the Iron stove, with Lemon to go with the tea, and the kettle Rattled when boiling. There was a Painter wearing a Vest who wanted his Money but smelled of Alcohol, so he needed to go to Church. This was an Exam and I work next to a Tank (all about me). Which word did I miss the first time?

Walk home = under 3 miles, rather short and it is a beautiful day.

Lauren: [This is for any UBC folks – based on very little info or knowledge] Get woken up by someone, text, pack, finish packing, search for something, load car, drive, arrive at Ashlan’s, transfer, hug parent(s), ride, discuss Griffey (wait he’s too old, who are the young ones) & others for a few hours, find passport, arrive at UBC, unload car, wave to Carl, unpack, study?, hang with friends?
