Making Memories

Sunday night has arrived

and I am feeling refreshed and well rested

while I am waiting for Big Brother to come on

I thought I would sit and catch you up

on what I have been doing 

and where I have been

although it has only been a week

it seems like I have been gone forever!

As you know I had 4 extra people here 

the last couple of weeks

they used our place for a home base

and then left from here

it is so nice to see family from far away

and really ~ they are not company

other than cleaning the house before they got here

I hardly did a thing other than some laundry

and set the coffee pot for the morning

meals were a joint effort and I never did dishes

gotta love that!

my Aunt Sue is Dad's youngest sister

she married late and had her children later

so there is about a 20+ span between me

and her daughters

she was always the fun one

she would take us out drinking

when we were younger

we had some great times

whenever someone comes "home" from Ontario

one of the must do things is to eat seafood

we took them out to a little place along the coast

I had heard rave reviews about this little take out

and it was well worth the drive

Trev & I actually split an order and we were stuffed

the seafood comes on one plate and the fries on another!

Heather, Sue, Tom & Allison

nothing fancy ~ good food and good prices

we will take another trip out here this summer

we took the scenic route home

and through the town of Shediac

which boasts the largest lobster in the world

so we had to stop for the photo op

I found this one on line as I did not take one from this angle...

there are little shops with fun things to pose with

along the boardwalk

Allison & Heather strike a pose

caught in the act!

shark!

it was a night we all needed as we had spent the day

at the hospital.  I am happy to say that Uncle Bobby is home

and housebound now for a month.  He is not a happy boy!

The results came back and there was no permanent damage to his

heart ~ so that is a good thing.

The week-end was spent at the cape and we had a little family gathering

on Saturday.  It was a smaller crowd than what we are used to

but there was plenty of good food, drinks and memories made.

after supper we had a little fire

and sat around to catch up ~ tell stories

and laugh

it got a little chilly

so Dianne put socks on with her flip flops

and her "hooves" were created!

So Friday they pulled out for the long drive home

tears were shed and Aunt Sue joked that now we had our

house back....

so this week-end I did a few things

but relaxed as well ~ Saturday we spent the afternoon at the pool

with Samantha ~ she is a fish!

I got some blog reading in this morning

and hope to be back on a more normal schedule this week

Hope you all had a wonderful week-end!
