Garret heads to PEI



They boarded the bus at 7:30 heading to PEI for their lacrosse games and won both games. It was a
long day but they all had a great time.  I imagine there was some sleeping on the way back from the island in the evening.



 
 
Malcolm and I headed out early for the markets and really enjoyed both.  We found our blueberry man there from Little River and I had to get another quart of berries to finish off the season.  No
freezing any berries they all went in pies, cakes and just on my cereal or by themselves and I
enjoyed them all. 
 
It was so nice to see some of our  Syrian refugees at the Dieppe market with samples of their foods and people stopping to try them and buy from them. 
 
Had a nice morning out and about......

ice cream time


these are small ice creams at butterfly farm
 



It was a hot evening so decided to drive out to the butterfly farm for ice cream, one of the best places to go for a cone of ice cream at good prices. 

Kate didn't even know I took these pictures of her helping water the flowers, caught her in the moment, lol

Starting to feel fall in the air now in the mornings but that is my favorite time of year.  Garret arrived last night for a sleepover, time is getting down there now before school starts.

Have a great weekend everyone.

selfie,( need practice) lol



Sitting outside the other night and I looked to the sky to see the Remax balloon going by, I really got a charge out of
it and ran inside for my camera  to snap a picture.

Had a surprise visit from Paula yesterday, we enjoyed a coffee and she was smiling when I went to freezer to get a
rubarb pie for Laurie, he always enjoys it and wonders how to get the rubarb to Myrtle Beach. lol

Malcolm took today off from golf and we ran our usual Thursday errands coming home with Garret for the night.

We watched a few video's of Christmas 2004 he brought over.  Memories


A few funny pictures I found

Favorite spot in summer






Nothing I like more than waking up to sun and having coffee on the patio, Love my swing and
with ipad in hand and cell phone I am ready for the day. lol

The plants are all looking healthy and the tomatoes are coming along, we have about 8 pots like this
growing tomatoes (Mal Jr's project) but Dad keeps them watered. lol

Planning a trip up to Miramichi the 24th for a little holiday with friends.  See you all then for sure.

blueberry season






Well Susan sent me the following ad for blueberries and I have to say they are beautiful.  I called and they were right in Riverview and delivered the box to Susan that evening.  As you can see I was busy baking even though the day was hot and I still have half a box of berries and not much space in freezer to put anything else. lol 


I like the wild berries for cooking with but on Gorge road there are the bigger berries being sold
if you prefer them.. 112 Gorge road...


Paula sent me a picture of Laurie down in Nova Scotia working a tournament for golf Canada

hard at it lol

Lemonade stand in neighbourhood






The children were all excited across the street to set up their lemonade stand and they did really good at it.  People  were stopping by to enjoy lemonade or ice tea on a hot day. Isaac was in charge of books.  Sandy was outside with her Daughter Deanna from Calgary for another fun filled week having all the family together for the week.

We dropped over to the cormiers before dropping down to the Victoria craft fair and Mr. Mac decided to be playful and soak me before we head out.  His summer fun I guess.

Victoria Park was nice but not as many exhibitors  as other years, we did enjoy the lemonade there, a lot more expensive that the stand the children had. lol  I didn't realize someone was taking photos behind me as no photos were to be taken inside the park but Victoria Park officials took a few.



Sky last night

Long weekend

Sue buying kettle corn





play area for kids




Well Sue and Malcolm Jr drove down to Shediac with me to the market, been a few years since I was there and it really had grown.  Susan bought kettle corn for the kids and found out it freezes well but you know it won't last long enough for a trip to freezer.

I enjoyed looking at some homemade quilts that were good prices, I got the web site just in case at Christmas I decide on one, I have a few but they are wearing badly.

Then it was off to Fred's for a late lunch and it was delicious, I had clams as did Mal Jr but Susan had  lobster roll which was served with salad.  After we got home I slept for 3 hrs. lol  could not believe it.

 Mal Sr back at golf on Monday, mens night .
