The first part of August brought my brother Terry, his girlfriend Fran and their son Martin to visit. What was supposed to be only a couple days of visiting turned out to be the better part of a week filled with excursions to Deer Island, New River Beach, St. Andrews along with many picnics, barbecues and loads of laughs.
The second week was our girls vacation. Kristie, Brooke, Britni, Melody and myself headed to The Gentle Island, (PEI) for three fun filled days. Brooke and I went deep sea fishing catching a ton of Mackerel and a few Cod. Not being the best fishermen, we were more taken with the sights of seagulls chasing the boat, Gannets dive bombing the water beside the boat to get scraps being thrown overboard and a breathtaking sunset.
The next day Kristie and I took Brit and Melody on a trail ride through the woods and along a beach, very peaceful and picturesque. One of Brit's favorite tv shows is "You Gotta Eat Here" which featured a Charlottetown restaurant called Famous Peppers that Britni wanted to visit. We had a delicious lunch of Pizza and for added entertainment we were witnesses to a thief running into the restaurant and stealing the tip jar. Luckily the police were nearby and with the help of the restaurant chef and a few other bystanders the criminal was caught (without the tip jar) and taken into custody.
Once returning home Kristie made the decision to stay here in New Brunswick and so the fun has continued on throughout the remainder of the month. More day trips, long walks, ferry rides and just good times visiting and laughing here at the house. It's great having both the girls here, my cup of happiness overflows!
So there it is, August 2014. Now onward into September and more NB antics.
Love and laughter to all.
