Today was Uncle Mike's 59th birthday! He went out to the little house to winterize it. He called Nanaw to tell her he'd also blown all the leaves away, and he found the gift bag the people from the 60th anniversary group left. In the afternoon, Chase worked on his consumer math packet, and then Nanaw looked it over. It was finding sales percents off of all kinds of things and also sales tax. It was interesting to see the teacher giving the students practical reasons for studying percentages. Nanaw had saved a piece of Uncle Mike's birthday cake for Chase: chocolate cake with chocolate icing. Chase is usually not a big cake eater but he ate every bite and said it was good and he liked it. The doorbell rang and Nanaw saw the big package out on the porch. She knew what it was and called Chase to come and see. She told him it was Matt Murray, the Nova hockey player. He was so excited, and asked if they could open it, even if it was for his birthday. So Chase opened the box and put Matt Murray together, along with some cool-looking stickers. He played with Matt Murray and Marc Andre together and had a great time.
