Sorry, I haven't posted in a while but it seems like I never have time. Too busy working all the time. Those are just excuses though. I just get too lazy and needed a little prompting. I got that from Elsie last weekend as her, Pam and Chrissy were home to Newfoundland to visit with Elsie's sister Sylvia who along with her husband Pete were celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary. They stayed with us a couple of nights and she mentioned that I hadn't done anything with the blog in a while. It got me to thinking that on my next day off I would put something together about our summer. So thanks Elsie and here goes.
I've included some photos below that were taken during a visit home by Cheryl in the first week of July. We went to Terra Nova golfing with Cheryl's Uncle Jim and there are some photos of a trip we took to Grand Bank to see a sailing schooner, Bowdoin, that used to sail to the Arctic years ago. She has been redone and was doing the trip again this year. At that time she was on a tour around the province and was visiting Grand Bank. There is a photo of some guys from St. Pierre rowing in a dory. These guys row from St. Pierre to Grand Bank each year and they have a big celebration once they arrive. There are 18 rowers with 6 rowing at once with them switching every now and then. It takes about 10 hours to do it. Imagine Dad and Grandfather Cousins rowing from Lamaline themselves. The lighthouse is at the entrance to Grand Bank Harbour. As well as a few of Jr golfing at Grande Meadows during his and Nora's visit late July and early August.
As well some were taken at Junior and Nora's place as well as Cheryl's while we were in Toronto in August. Plus there are a couple of photos of Matt and Christina taken during their short visit to Marystown on Aug 10. They dropped down to Marystown on their way to a short vacation in Gros Morne Park on the northern peninsual of the province. From all reports they had a great time here and there. Matt is holding up a lunch we packed for them. Matt and Christina are living in Ottawa.
Here goes, I hope I didn't leave any out. Also since it is getting close to Christmas please forward
along any photos of your Christmas tree and any others that you would like to share. I'll promise to post as soon as I get them.
Take care and I hope all is well.
Barry
