Thank you!

We just wanted to say a quick thanks to all of you out there who have donated to us at some point during our trip. Despite the fact that this video does single out my Aunt Anne and Aunt Denise, it was made with all of you in mind. Personalized videos will be made upon request....you name the song, we write the lyrics. Here our first work,entitled Favourite Things!

.
Here are the lyrics if you can't understand our beautiful voices:

Cheese on white bread with tomato and ham
this is our dinner, i know it sounds bland
but when you're at home you may not realize
that real ham is better than meat surprise!

25 dollars
doubled our money
and we knew what to dooooo
we bought us a few of our favorite things
and for this we thank you!

a pint of Guiness
2 bananas
and a Snickers bar!
the dollar is weak but we stretched it quite far....
it got us more than 5 gallons of gas in your car!

And now for a personalized video, just for you, Aunt Anne. For those of you out there reading all of her comments on this blog, you will understand.

Now that I have stopped my heart from pitter pattering, as it is always so exciting to be the inspiration for a muscial essay (alright maybe not always the "Mean Aunt Anne" song really wasn't so wonderful and definately not based on fact. RIGHT!!!!)
You two are really the most talented traveling duo I have ever seen. Actually the best news today came on Facebook. Can't wait to see you two. I have to go now as I must figure out how to save my own personal song to my MP3 player so I can have it with me at all time. Imagine a song about me and fiber, WOW.
PS I let your mother know about the party, She thought it was nice to know the date. Again can't wait to see you guys.

Sometimes in life someone (something only a mother can do)has to tell you the truth and the truth is this: Neither of you has a future in either singing or songwriting. That being said, I know that everyone here (me) expects their own personalized poem!
