Canada Summer Games and Old home week

Terris Trish and I
Sam at soccer
paddling up to New Glasgow
Hi Everyone,
Wow it is summer in PEI it is hot!! Ian and I have been paddling to beat the heat. We have also been hanging out with Glenda's sons at the soccer game. It is old Home week in PEI and we went to the races with the boys and met Bruce and Judy who are visiting and supporting their son Ben who is at the Canada Summer Games as part of the Cultural contingent. Got to visit with Terris and Tish too if too briefly they are here with familys for summer games too. Old home week seems to be about horse races and the PEI Exhibit. I used to go the the summer fairs in Ontario - loved them esp the horsy competition stuff but this was a new one on me - bare back riding?!
draft horses. We are having lots of fun playing with the Smith Clan who are staying at our rental house up the way (rusticoholidayhome) Next week we are back to NS to work on the vacated LaHave house. To come when there is time.
caio Diana

sailor Ian

This is Rob and Gai at our wedding Greg's sail boat and Ian the shuttle rower
We were finished taking down the shed at the property in LaHave and had a day to visit with Bill Robson and Lisa McCray. We are invited to go for a sail on Lisa's brother in law Gregs sail boat. Diana and Lisa opt out for a day in Mahone Bay and the boys go off. They sailed from Lunenburg to Mahone Bay with some nice winds. Lisa and I had a lovely HOT day hanging out with Jan Kay in Mahone Bay. The guys moored just off Jan and Rays house and we all had a lovely dinner together.
Next morning we were off early to get Diana to the Airport to fly to Toronto where I'm staying with Rob and Gai and going to my niece Sarah's wedding. Ian is back in PEI.
Gai and I have had a great day touring the area around where they live in Bolton!
bye for now.

now we are in NS

Hi everyone we are in Nova Scotia.
We had a lovely visit in Parrsboro with Alex Salter and Christine Moore at their newly build "cabin". This is the view from their front porch in West Bay and some more happy moments there. The blue berries are ripe!!
Then we went on to LaHave where we took down our old shed. It was a lot of work!!Our tenants are also leaving the end of August so we will be back the end of August to try and find new tenants. We had the pleasure of staying with our wonderful friend Mimi that is one of our meals with her!
Well that it for now. This weekend Diana is off to Toronto and her niece Sarah's wedding. Ian will be back to PEI.
Talk to you all later.
