Chatty,
I love what your 92-year-old friend said: For every sad thought,
think two happy thoughts. I'm gonna try that, bye gosh. Groovy
got a Wii recently. She seems to like it. I wonder if they have
Wal Mart in Europe and other countries across the pond?

EH, what Wii games did you play? My nephew brought it here on Easter and Thanksgiving. They bowled, played tennis, and also enjoyed the carnival games. We have some of the best photos from that day.

Mu daughter got a rock band set up for the X Box and we had a blast playing that on Christmas. I never attempted the drums or guitar, just sang, which is ridiculous because I have the worse voice. Anyway, it's great fun to play with a crowd. Ross and I are going to attmept the guitar and drum when we're home alone. What a hoot.

Dotsie, they have the game "Mario & Sonic at the Olympics". It has all sorts of different events like swimming, rowing, skeet shooting, trampoline. She also received the Dance Party dance mat, which is a lot of fun (sort of like a dancing karaoke game). They also have bowling, tennis and other sports, but we didn't play any of those. The Olympic game is the favourite right now. It's hard to find too, but SD's going to pick one up for me in Montreal. The carnival games sound fun too. I saw a game yesterday, all winter sports, like skating, luging, bobsledding, ski jumping...that looks like fun exercise.

The extent of the games amaze me. Did you play the dance game? I'd love to try that. I bet it's good exercise. Playing these types of games brings out the kid in us which is why I like them. Apparently, my BIL has funny pictures of my sister and me playing Christmas. She was the drummer and I was singing. Gee, I can hardly wiat to see them.

We did play the dance game - it's so much fun that I'm probably going to have to get one...it's a really fun way to get in some good cardio exercise.

I'm amazed at the graphics...they're so real and interactive that sometimes you wonder if the characters are alive!

We've decided not to wait for the console, so are shopping for one now instead of April - but they're impossible to find! I could just kick myself, I was in Toys 'R Us on Sunday, it was supposed to be a quick stop for my step-daughter to pick up something. As we were standing at the cash register, the Wii consoles arrived. The cashier even asked me if I wanted to buy one. I wasn't thinking at all...we had already decided to wait until April and it just didn't click to pick one up at that moment. But when I got home, hubby was actually disappointed! So we went back, but they had already sold out.
