STANFEST

July 2010

We had a great time at this year’s event. Usually there is fog and rain; however, this time the weather was perfect with lots of sunshine. The festival is a tree day international festival of songwriters showcasing Canadian and worldwide grassroots musicians in all genres. Our favourites were Valdy, David Myles and two of Newfoundland’s most rousing traditional bands, the Navigators and Shanneyganock.

We went with our friends David and Mary MacDonald and Richard and Martha White. It was lots of fun and we prepared tasty meals.

Andrew, Kristie and Tessa Visit!

June 2010

We had a great time at the Camp in Digby with Andrew, Kristie, our new granddaughter Tessa, Kristie’s parents, Julie’s son Talyor, Stephen, Jonathan and Carley - a real family gathering. It was the first time we had an opportunity to use the new facility with that number of people and the time together was very enjoyable. Tessa was a lot of fun and she had a great time playing on the deck.

The fisherman had great success catching perch and the lobsters were very tasty.
