Rolling on the River

What a simply gorgeous week-end we had here

the weather was perfect

makes you want to stay outside all day

and all night week-end

then Sunday night comes along

and then Monday morning and we are back at it

 

Sunday we had a mission though

as we traveled to the city of Miramichi 

to attend a 50th anniversary party

for our sister in law's parents

it was held at Upper Oxbow's Adventure Lodge

in their banquet room

it was quite the setting

the gardens were beautiful

the path leading down to the river

the Miramichi river is known all over to be

one of the best places to fish salmon

we hope to get back up this year as they also offer tubing

which is a blast and a great way to spend a hot Saturday afternoon!

I mentioned on Friday that I was going treasure hunting

Trevor's Aunt had to be put into a home 

so his cousins are cleaning out the house and were having a yard sale.

I grabbed Trev's Mom and we went to help set up

and of course I nabbed a few odds and ends

that tickled my fancy.

a big old platter ~ a couple of old cookbooks and a vintage suitcase

plus a couple of cups & saucers and some vintage gadgets

there was so much stuff there that I could have brought home

but I was a good girl.

on the drive yesterday to the party I was on the lookout for lilacs

I found the perfect bush ~ close to the road

no houses around ~ so we stopped on the way home and I got them

the house smells divine right now

oh how I love thee

Hope you had a sunshiney week-end

and that you had a reason to smile

Have a great week!
