Back to PEI
(August 20, 21 and 22)
Don’s cousin Jimmy was expecting us for a visit back at his cottage near Fortune Cove, PEI. So we made another trip across Confederation Bridge and then the hour drive to the cottage.
We backed our rig up with the back windows facing Mill River, a tidal river. It definitely was cottage country. People swimming, kids playing and boats zipping up and down the river.
At night after the bugs disappeared, we sat around the fire. One of Jimmy’s friends across the river (it was a wide river), turned his stereo up and serenaded us with tunes. I am sure that the music could be heard for miles around.
Jimmy took Don out for the day to visit all the old haunts and long lost family. We feasted on new potatoes, corn, green and yellow beans and cucumbers from Jimmy’s garden. Yum! Jimmy and Don bought fresh caught lobster, company came and they all feasted on the lobster. I got a little nervous when my eyes started to itch. Maybe psychological allergic reaction but maybe it was a real one from the juices and aromas floating in the air.
Neighbour kids came over in the morning and dropped off their lists for Santa to take to the North Pole with him. We had some pictures of Santa printed so he autographed one for the kids. Fun.
(August 23, 24 and 25th)
We went back to Halifax and stayed at Woodhaven RV Park and took a few days to get ready for the trip to Niagara Falls and get some maintenance work done on the rig. Hot and muggy.
