In the collage are pictures of my September and October visitors. David Parks, Sonja Maden, Tammy Douglas, Michelle Job, Sandy Rittenhouse and Bev Carpenter.
In October my cousin Sandy Ritthouse and her cousin Bev Carpenter arrived. Thanks to Facebook we were able to connect after many, many years and I was very excited to have them come and visit! Every day was filled with road trips including St. Martin's, Hopewell Rocks, St. Andrews and Deer Island. We sampled Comeau's restaurant this time and let me tell you..their Scallop and Fish chowder was amazing!!! Loaded with scallops, haddock, and potatoes this chowder was more than a meal in itself.
The highlight of the visit was the night before I had to go into work while they were here. I had gone to bed early and left the two of them to watch movies in the living room with a nice fire crackling away in the woodstove. About an hour after I had retired there was a knock on my bedroom door. It was Sandy stating that the house was filling up with smoke!!! I jumped out of bed and opened the door to find that a blueish haze was indeed hovering in the air. We quickly went downstairs to discover that the vent on the woodstove was closed and the smoke was coming through the heat vents instead of up the chimmney. Once the vent was opened the problem was solved, windows were opened and the smoke eventually cleared out.
It was great catching up with the two of them, lots of laughs and good times. The only thing missing was my other cousin Kim but hopefully she will make it down the next time they come.
Now awaiting my next visitors...Christi and Taylor Patterson! Woo Hoo!! The adventures continue!
