Karen and Paul drove me up to Portland, Maine,
and we all stayed the night in a motel. We had arranged to meet Bonnie
and Wayne here, they were driving down from Fredericton, New Brunswick
in Canada. We all got together for a while that evening and headed off
to Canada the following morning.
The drive up was spectacular for me and we
arrived at Bonnie and Wayne's home around lunchtime.
I felt so at home at Bonnie's and just loved
sharing with the family. Bonnie and I have such a lot in common and did
some really neat things together. We both love arts and crafts so explored
that kind of thing together. We also went to the Art Gallery there and
when Wayne had a day off he took us down the coast to St. Andrews.
Wow !!! what a fabulous place that was ....
they had the quaintest stores there and the atmosphere was really summer
holidays. Everyone there was busy getting geared up for the short tourist
season. We had lunch in a place that was right on the water and we could
sit and watch the tide and the mists rolling in. Truly a beautiful spot.
I must just mention a couple of special things
that happened here in preparation for the photos that follow.
I live in the subtropics of Australia , so
never see snow or really experience any real cold weather ..... Bonnie
had joked with me about buying me a flannel nightie and true to her word
the flannel nightie was there waiting for me :-)
Bonnie and Wayne's son Chris had saved me
some snowballs and put them in the freezer so I would not miss out on seeing
snow. That just blew me away ..... what a wonderful thought. |
