We have enslaved the rest of the animal creation, and have treated our distant cousins in fur and feathers so badly that beyond doubt, if they were able to formulate a religion, they would depict the Devil in human form.
William Ralph Inge (1860-1954)

Our Girls...




It's been a week since Holly and Sean went home...The first couple days were a little tough after they left. We'd been looking forward to Kim and Oliver and Liams visit, then Holly and Seans and suddenly I felt a little like there was nothing left to look forward to. But I kept busy and soon the feeling passed and now I just look forward to the next time I talk to them or the next time we see them. The time spent with all of them was wonderful and we are just incredibly blessed that our kids are our friends!

So anyway, this one picture is Holly posing with the "super"blueberry of Oxford. Guess which one is Holly. Then there is one here of Don and Sean taking pictures in Mahone Bay. The weather through most of their visit was just what you see in this photo. And the last was taken at Hopewell Rocks in New Brunswick. The tide was out far enough so that we could wander in amongst these worn formations for a while. But knowing how quickly the tide comes in in the Bay of Fundy, we were careful to keep an eye on the water.

So there you are, how we spent our summer vacation! Well, maybe our autumn vacation is more accurate. Whatever, it was fabulous seeing both of the girls and their families. I think they had a good time too. I know that Sean is looking forward to the next time they come, hopefully Holly too, and seeing that Kim and Oliver are travelling with a child, I'm not sure how they feel about the idea, but what the heck, it was fun, no matter what they decide. How wonderful when your children are your best friends. I am so lucky!
