| Saturday morning, C4B. Sooke and I set out to go accross the water to Moonshadows and pick up Bernadette for her Cape Breton Tour.......We made great time down for the 11.15 ferry, the sailing was glorioius......takes about 1.15 on the little boat......any way, we land and Moonshadow is not 5 mins ffrom the terminal.........scoot over.........and am expecting you know, baloons, a brass band, anything.......but nope....not a soul in sight except Greg cutting away quite contentedly with the lawnmower..........so of course, being me, I go storming up to the door.......banging and knocking screaming for the attention we should be due..............then I forgot/remembered the dogs................thistle, happened so fast............they were a blurr........out the goddamned door like a rocket before I could react...........now I felt like an pixie.......but no way I'm catching them...........so both Diana and Bernadette had chosen THAT MOMENT...........to go piddle and didnt hear us come in..............Diana\s daughter Jazz was visiting also and I hadnt seen her in a few year........Kids sure grow up fast when you are not watching./............anyway......back to meeting the LASS.............
she may be little in stature, but she sure makes up for it in TRY.......Fearless, funny, friendly , a real treat to be around.
I'M try to select out of the hundreds of pix which ones to post on photobucket........what a pain in the pixie that is
so this is not nearly done............got a few installments coming, but gotta sort the pix out so they make sense. | |

| AFTER we ate and had a couple of drinks it was definately bed time........the Journey had been the adventure for the day..........LONG DAY......but was good............. SUNDAY MORNING........UP WITH THE LARK...........THINK I'LL TAKE A SURF IN THE SEA........ SO, run around get chores done, the kid and I have some brekky.....and we are just about jumping in the truck when C4B comes hauling in the driveway.........that was a really good surprise, as we had not expected her and she is NOTORIOUS FOR ALWAYS BEING LATE..........so, our photographer on hand, off we go......... carol testing the water for us I know the sign says no surf........but by the time we were actually in the water..........SURFS UP!!!!!!! the kid looks terrific.......and I look like a STORMTROOPER FROM STARWARS.........hahaha.....but look at the colour....... I thought the board was gonna just knock her over the instructor trying to give us pointers...........I said dont bother.......I wont be getting UP.....but safety rules are he has to tell us how to get up.....even if we cant.......so once in the water I let Bernadette have him and I just played all by myself.......BUT SOOOOOOOO SOOOOOOOO SOOOOOOO MUCH FUN TOTALLY WIPED OUT.........EXHAUSTED............WHAT A WORK OUT

| Sunday afternoon was tricky, we had been invited to TEEKATHEPONYS wedding shower, but no way we were getting to Sydney in time for that.......so back to the barn for lunch and we were all supposed to go to Carols to do a Video for Cripplecowgirl but Carol had bale elevator trouble and had to go find parts........so Bernadette and I went out looking for something to GET UP TO................HAHAHAHA..............CLIMB A FIRE TOWER........thats a definate UP........ HAD WE KNOWN WE WERE GONNA DO THIS............she may have worn pants instead of a skirt........so I promised no knicker shots then I let her drive the truck down to Loch Lomond went home, had missed Sooke, who must have gone bye while we were up the fire tower...........turned on a movie, poured a couple of drinks and some snacks .......I put on my travelling pjs and then I talked her to sleep......hahaha....was good. | |

| NOW, THIS IS MY FINAL CHAPTER...............
sometimes we all know thistle just happens........and things dont always work out, and if its not raining its pouring......yadda yadda yadda.............
off we go up to C$B's, gonna have some supper and make that video.............NOT...........we get in the driveway and Carol is just beside herself, totally freaking and wanting to bite people and strike off their heads........apparently there is an INTERESTED PARTY coming to View her place........a little more than slightly unexpected, and Carols hubby had sworn he had TIDIED UP.........CAROLS PLACE IS THE SIZE OF WINDSOR CASTLE..........you cant just take 5mins and tidy up............anyway, she says, please go away and I will come pick up Amanda later........well, you know thats NOT gonna happen.........So I looked at the Kid and said......Guess we better dive in here and help clean this up............so thats what we did...........and then we had time to spare to eat.......the dishes went into the car I think because we didnt want to mess up the sink.............I SAID A VERY UNTEARFUL GOODBYE to the kid........we hugged, and i THANKED HER ........then told her she would be fine with Carol, Rob and the two bulldogs with the dishes in the car to take her to the ferry.................and that was the end of Bernadettes short stop with me.......THE END. | |

| I cant imagine how she's fitting so much into such a short time. No Fair .... I wanna go surfing and the fire tower would be right up my daughters alley. gonna have to come rent your bunk house some time so we can have fun too, (minus the drinksies for us though) but we're just as fun with lots of caffeine, coffee/chocolate/timmies :) | |

| WOOZERS!!!! You all sure managed to squeeze alot of stuff in a very short time span. I knew she would be royally entertained and have a scream with you Capers! Haahaha.. High light of her visit to PEI would be grocery shopping.. I'm sure she will have just as much fun with Tammy... looking forward to seeing and hearing all about those adventures too! Ohh and just for clarification.... Carol is a giant!! and of course I am a midget.. the two of us should do a display and make some loot!! | |

| MS.. I do look like a giant besides you but i am only 5'9" the rest of the females in my family are 6'... and you are a midget but at least you look cute !!!!!!!!
I have to say a huge thank you to JJ and Bernadette for helping with the big clean up. (and stopping me from commiting murder) .... not what Amanda thought she would be doing on her vacation !!!! she should be arriving in NF very shortly... i am looking forward to the next installment !!!!
JJ maybe you should get some boogie / body boards for survivor Cape Breton style!!! | |

| Wow...what an adventure bernie is having...she is a great sport and a peach to have around!!!! I am glad she is getting to do some exciting stuff....aside from our whale watching trip ...there is very little to do around here.....the highlight of her visit here was when we broke into the abandoned Amish house at my brother's farm and I ripped the seat of my pants......grocery shopping is definitely a step up from that!!!!! Looks like you had a wonderful visit with Diana...I just knew she would have some cakes or pies hanging around...yummy!!!! Cape Breton looks absolutely beautiful....I think all of our provinces have their own unique beauty to them......I can just imagine the mischief that Tammy and Amanda will get into...good thing they have little Kayla around to keep them in line...lol Should have some interesting stories for sure!!! I am looking forward to Amanda coming back and enjoying her company a little bit longer......but I am so not looking forward to the airport.... | |

| C4B and Dexy....I sort of suggested the same thing about the surfing/boogey boarding for the survivor weekend......then again...they might have to close the beach down due to unruly behavior...hmmmmm??? | |
