my cousin

What the terrible weather it was on Saturday. My uncle invited my husband and I to have a lunch together. We met in a restaurant which was close to our apartment and opened for only one week. I was glad to meet my cousin Grace who was studying in the U of C as a Master of Education. Though we could speak in dialect, we chose English instead since Grace knew I would like to further English and she always encouraged me to speak more. It was so funny that both of us spoke in English, neither of the others did even if we had lunch together.Last week Grace flew to Toronto and Disney in Florida as well with her boyfriend. I was very interested in her travel. She told me she enjoyed the trip in Florida very much but was bored with Toronto. I was a little confused because I felt there were much more delicious food in Toronto,and the expense of commodity was cheaper than in Calgary. Speaking of Disney, Grace was excited. She described some funny rides to me and said her boyfriend took none of the rides to play because he was afraid. Despite enjoying the time in Disney, Grace did not like to stay there for a long time. She was a little home-sick in those days because she missed rice and noodles deeply. She almost had to eat sausages and hamburgers every day, which did not taste good. She reminded me if I had a plan to go there, it was important to take instant noodles available in case there was little right meal to have. After finishing lunch, we went to TD square to look around. On the way there, we talked about her part time job as a babysitter in a daycare near around her home. She said it was easy, which only took her 4hrs a day. During the conversation, I felt a litter bit tough to follow her because I always could not express the real meaning of some issues. Hence, I had to use different kinds of gestures in some cases. Fortunately, Grace could understand most topics I talked.
