July 27 Fun Birthday ( bright yellow field of Canola)
Well another filled weekend is over....time for a rest and return to work :)
Straightened up the house on Saturday morning, planned to garden in the afternoon but plans changed. Megan had come out the night before so in the afternoon we played "tourist" in visited some craft shops in the two communities. She never got time to shop for my Birthday gift so we had fun looking for "it". It turned out to be a crafted necklace, a pair of starfish earrings and the tiniest pewter cat ornament I have. Just the two of us hanging out was fun.
Before church on Sunday Homer and I went sea glass hunting. Last year I went twice a day most days but with a fuller work schedule and one car this was just my fourth time all summer!
After church was the big weekend event for me. As other years, it was the Northumberland Fisheries Festival. This year the Poker Run, always on Sunday to finished up the festival, happened to fall on my birthday. Almost everyone who has a boat, or a friend/relative with a fishing boat looks forward to this event. I have pictures from previous years just some changes in the people on Freddie's boat, some that were on last year weren't this year and vise versa. Perfect weather accompanied us the whole afternoon. The best part is when all the boats congregate at an inlet just referred to around here as "Cahoon's Wharf". Boats are anchored, ladders lowered and BBQs lite. Lots of swimming, laughter and eating. Only this year Paul brought my birthday cake. Of course there was no left over of this cake...Angel Food Cake with strawberries in the middle and some kind of delicious topping (all I know that there was whipped cream in it). It was nice to have all three of my children there and watch them in the water playing and horsing around like kids instead of mid twenties to thirty! Also present was Krista's BF Chris and our daughter in law, Adina alone with some other family members and our friends from NH and some of their family.

To top it off, Chris inserted more RAM into my computer and now it just takes seconds to move from window to window. Before it took about 3-5 mins to open another blog or else it couldn't open at all! So a big thanks to Chris, my "personal" computer technician!
Have a great week everyone!
July 19 Enjoying my summer...sorry for not posting :(I kind of took a little holiday from blogging/blog-walking. Sorry for any concerns. I have even been sleeping in instead of getting up early before work to blog walk...well if you call 6:30 or 6:45 sleeping in lol!
Since my last blog I've been busy, when not working, mostly in the garden. Chad and Adina (& Lexi) arrived a few weeks ago and are staying with us until they move into their apartment the 1st of August. Busy with two dogs and one cat and four adults coming and going all the time. The girls were out a couple times so there have been late nights talking and playing board games.
Friday night and all day Saturday I was able to mingle with many other Sea Glass enthusiasts and our first annual Mermaid Tears Sea Glass Festival. Just a 25 minute drive from my home too!
Tonight we have our commissioning service for our new church, now named "Memorial United". This is similar to a "grand opening". Many former ministers will be there so it will be nice to meet them after many years.
No guarantee, but I'll try to devote a bit more time here and visit all my dear blog friends I've neglected over the summer. Hope everyone is well and also enjoying there summer, rain or shine!
