Fundy Park and Alma

See the zip liners, one person stopped the operator when to get them.

many stairs

The red chair for Pat

A great day in Fundy Park to celebrate Susan's 46th birthday. We walked 2 trails, Dickson Falls and Herring cove beach. Lots of stairs to climb but I did it and was not to far behind them all the way. lol

Went around the park, lots of people around on a lovely summer day, many doing the trails. Found a
lot more restaurants have opened since we had the cottage in Alma which I still miss in summer but
many of the people we know have left the area but a few remain.

Of course we stopped at Kelly's bake shop for sticky buns and yes I did indulge with 1 and it was
delicious. Ate at a little café which was once the liquor store, than a lobster pound and now a cute
café with outdoor seating looking out onto wharf but a little on the pricey side.

On our way home we took the other route leaving Alma and headed for Cape Enrage , now as I remember it we drove up , parked and walked to light house, looked over the patio to the rocks and beach and now they have added zip lining to the adventure of course at a nice price which we didn't even check out but to park there was 20.00 for family. A little steep I would say and 15.00 to enter Fundy Park which has a lot more to see and do. But you pay it or keep driving. lol

Last but not least we watched for the shoe tree. Here it is but with leaves on the tree hard to see the shoes but they are there and many shoes are on the ground around it. The shoes use to hang from another tree with no leaves on it, a storm destroyed the tree last year but they picked another tree in the area for the shoes. Last but not least the haha cemetery....been around a long time.

It was a great day..

50 years school reunion

Joan and I

Linda and I

Unfortunately I was not able to attend the 50 years reunion this weekend, but did get the opportunately to see some fellow classmates this week which was a nice surprise.

Lynda was here from Alberta, Lynda travels home every year to attend the Reunions but this being
the 50th year made it more special. Lynda dropped in for a visit on Wednesday on her way back to
Saint John from Nova Scotia visiting her family. I usually get to see Lynda every few years.

Then on Thursday I was so surprised to meet up with Joan Arseneau who I have not seen in 50 years,
she has not changed at all and that means Joan has aged well, very well. Met her husband Don . They were in Moncton to pickup their daughter at Train station. Her daughter has done tours with Mic Jaggard. Joan brought me SOUVINERS from our old school. They are going to try to facetime me from the villa on Saturday so I can see my classmates.

Joan

Lynda

Shirley McGraw now Gorman

In memory of two very special people, Doris Roy and Lodie Laundry who passed away but not

forgotten............Both these gals shared lunches with me, lots of laughs and friendship.....

Mary Jayne

Myself, Mary Jayne and Sandra

On Friday we went down again to Saint John to see my Aunt and have lunch with these two very special people,
I have known Mary Jayne all my life and even though distance has kept us apart we still remain the best of friends.
Mary Jayne's sister in law Sandra Lowe joined us for lunch at Shadow Lawn in Rothesay on Friday. We had a great time together and lots of laughs to share with Sandra of our southend days.

Hot day in the Maritimes

Mom loved these flowers, luppins........so when I seen a picture at St Mary's church steeple I had
to save for a memory of Mom and the Luppins.

Very hot in Moncton, 33 people died in Quebec because of extreme heat... mainly living in high rises
with AC....... sad....

Off to Saint John tomorrow, wish it was to attend reunion but too big a crowd for me. Got to see a few today who will be attending....stay tuned.
