Just checking out the changes
If a second day in a row can indicate a trend, then summer has arrived. In time for us to be tent people. This is good. We were able to enjoy a hot coffee and the newspaper of the day before heading in to town to do what else; drink coffee. Not our real reason for going, as son #3 wanted new shoes and Corney’s was open for business, but we did have the opportunity to sample a new restaurant.
I am a great follower of the blogs that have something to say. Peter, Cynthia and kin, Nils; you know who you are. The recommendation to try Casa Mia was a good one. We had excellent food (peameal panini, yum!) and hot java at a reasonable price. I even saw a local celebrity; the politician/scribe formerly known as PD on CBC. We didn’t speak, but she was recognized. Hey, her bridge picture is my desktop.
Some further circling around the city after picking up our hound led us to a corner view on the Pride Parade. No marching bands while we were there, but at least we came and saw. I won’t be there for the next biggie (GC&S). After that excitement, a stop at the Farmers’ Market which had just closed for the afternoon left us with an idea for another day (as long as the day was Wednesday or Saturday). Bookstores also use up sunny afternoons when a beach is the last thing on the list of what to do. I was reasonable in my shopping.
Today brought our first view of the windmills. They are visible from the top of Campbell’s Cove road AND Red Point road, so campers will just have to get used to the noise. How much noise, you ask. Well, after we stopped on the Elmira road, killed the car motor and all fans, suggested to the birds and bees to drop the decibels and waited for the endless traffic of three vehicles to pass by, we could hear a ‘whoosh-whoosh’ below the sound of the crickets in the lupins. I don’t think that any insurance policies will be denied due to industrial noise.
All in all, the world is turning as it should. Although the search for free wi-fi defeated us this evening, we did witness several wedding parties. A tradeoff.
