As usual in my life there has been lots going on with a few changes thrown in to keep life interesting. As you probably know, Britni moved in the end of March and we had a great summer filled with lots of fun activities and Brit made some new friends when my friends from Ontario came to visit. I went back to Ontario for a visit in August to check up on my mom and dad and visit with my kids. It was a great time, especially meeting Brad's girlfriend Brittany and their new baby Jaxx : )... but can't say that I miss that Ontario heat and humidity.
Once back here in St. George, Billy moved in. I am now an Alternative Family Living Arrangement (AFLA) which is a program here in NB much like the Associate Family program in Ontario in which a person can open their home to assist people with disabilities. I think this is such a great alternative to having people living in group homes whenever possible. We are a happy little family of three enjoying life.
For the time being, I am on a leave of absence from the Community Living Center Program and am just staying home hanging out with Brit...Billy just had his gall bladder out yesterday but will be returning to the program next week. I have some day trips and weekend excursions planned for us to explore this beautiful province which is what I have wanted to do since moving here.
Britni and I did get out whale watching this year when Debbie and Debra were here visiting from Ontario. We saw lots of seals, a group of whales and many different types of atlantic birds. We also took the ferries over to Campabello Island.

Billy and I took a drive with a couple friends in our new van down to Eastport, ME last weekend and discovered it was their Pirate Days festival. What an array of colourful costumes and a conglomeration of scents and sounds to spark our senses on a beautiful day. Hope you like the pictures. More adventures on the way for fall...keep in touch!
