Sept 14

Coffee this morning was back down the road to Port Daniel to meet Joy & Bill Carson.  Lyndon remembers meeting his second (maybe third) cousin Joy when she was visiting Calgary from the Gaspe in the 60s.   We had a fantastic (too short) visit and look forward to the next time we hope to visit them.

Bert Hayes is back in Ft. McMurray for a few months and we were sorry to miss visiting with him, but a quick stop to say hello to Allison and admire his impressive stringed instrument collection makes us want to return for the annual Shigawacke music weekend some August in the future.

Back to Carl & Lois’ place to say farewell…too soon.  We`ve had such a great time learning about the family and the area.  Til next time.

Just down the road Mona & Billy Court (Mona is Carl & Lois` daughter) had lunch ready for us.  The time sharing stories of travels and treasures (gorgeous antiques) in their home went far too fast.  Maybe they will come out west to visit us? But if not, that corner by the wood stove is already calling me back to settle in and read a book 🙂

 More of our adventure waits as we headed further down the road and crossed the border into New Brunswick.
