June 26, Saturday - Go see Canadian snowbirds

Got up to unsettled weather, sun in, sun out, bit of rain in afternoon then sun again. Went to see the Snowbirds at the Charlo airport. Quite interesting. Rain came down for about 10 mins and the show was delayed, but was great once started. Went for ice cream to Dalhousie after dinner with all the girls: MJ, Lorraine, Lise, Jessie, Shanie. Pierre and Albert went to check the Dalhousie marina where Pierre wanted to put his boat when they come for the week in July.

June 25 - Hair cut

I had a hair cut from Norma today. Feel like a real person again. I hate long hair. Gilles, Gladys and Triston spent the afternoon with us. Lynn bought her roof rack for her kayak and is gone padling.

June 24th, Thursday - rain is back full force

Rained allllllll day today. So, around noon, MJ & I left for Bathurst on a search for a pair of sandals for MJ. We saw the ones she (made by Ecco) wanted but at $150.00 decided that she didn't want them that badly. We shopped for a couple to 3 hours and I ended up with a new blouse, new iron cover for Lorraine and a few groceries.

June 23 - Wednesday Lobster day

Organized a caterer for July (not sure what day yet) when the whole family is here. We were going to do it all ourselves, but felt that feeding 27 people would have been a bit too much. Looking forward to have everyone here. Lorraine, Albert & me had a lobster feast. MJ was sick the last time we ate lobsters and made herself a plate of beans and weiners.

Lobster versus beans and weiners, I would always choose lobster. Rain started late afternoon and all evening. Pretty muggy also.

Gilles arrived in Charlo in the afternoon. In the evening, he went to a graduation for Gladys' nephew. Gilles came here to sleep and scared us in the trailer because we didn't expect anyone. I looked outside and saw him coming out of his truck and relaxed after seeing him.

June 21 - Fishing trip

Yep, finally we went fishing. The last leg of the road into the lake was a pot hole after another. Went with my bro and would have shot him if I didn't love him so much. And we didn't catch any fish to boot. Guess what, we had to come back the same way. Lynn went to get her canoe - 17'
