Visiting Nova Scotia

When I was growing up, my family spent vacations at my Uncle John's farm in Nova Scotia. I loved it very much.

Uncle John's home was not so modern as my home in Rye, New York. I always remembered having to go out away from the house to use the outhouse.

Uncle John lived very near the Atlantic Ocean. Fish, lobster, and shrimp were a regular part of their diet. Rather than throw away the shells of shrimp and lobster after a meal, they put them in with the food for the chickens, and they gobbled them up. Imagine - the seafood diet turned the eggs pink and made them taste of fish.

I always liked coffee, from the time I was old enough to drink it. When I visited Nova Scotia, I wasn't able to have coffee. Practically every time I turned around, someone was offering me a cup of tea, which I couldn't very well turn down. The people of Nova Scotia all seemed to drink lots of strong tea, in true Scottish fashion.
