David, Sonja, Michelle and Tammy arrived on Wednesday, Sept. 23rd after a long drive from visiting family in Nova Scotia. It was great to see familiar faces again and to sit up late talking and catching up with Tammy and Michelle and getting to know my new friends, Dave and Sonja.
Over the next few days they visited a few of the local stores and saw some of the beautiful scenery around the area. Although I had to work during their visit, I'm glad that they ventured out on their own to explore and even took the ferry over to Deer Island.
On my day off we stopped at New River Beach for a short walk and then drove into Saint John to the City Market to pick up some fresh meat from the butcher and a few gifts. Dave enjoyed the "Guitar Man" playing outside the market singing some country music and after leaving the man a small token of appreciation in his guitar case we continued on our way.
Saturday night the folks treated me to a dinner out at the Silverking Restaurant in Black's Harbour for a delicous and overwhelming meal of fried clams, scallops, shrimp and fish. That small seafood platter was enough to feed an army!!! Thanks guys! Maybe next time we go there they will serve beer in a can for you Dave!
After 3 days of eating and visiting Dave had to remove his belt from his pants, we thought he was going to have to resort to wearing a pair of Lyndon's track pants, what can I say? The man loves his mashed potatoes and gravey! Both Dave and Sonja expressed their desire to return in the future and I hope they do! What a great visit which ended all to soon and before I knew it they were off to return to Brantford.
I want to thank them for the beautiful gift for my bathroom as well as the gift they left in my guest book. Most of all thanks for coming to visit, and hope to see you all down here in St. George again in the future!
