Beaches, Roads and Returns


Happy 4th of July to all my American readers! I just arrived from a road trip back to Halifax after a nice couple of days home. It was an early day for me, and I almost drifted off to sleep a couple of times on the way down.  Yesterday, I went out to Five Islands with my aunts and grandparents to visit my aunt Kathy at her trailer. We sat out on her little porch and had snacks while her dog Lexie sat underneath to keep cool. The flies started to bother me after a while, so I walked down to the beach with my aunt Barb and my aunt Sharon. The water was beautiful and sparkling in the sun and the tide was in. The clouds were huge in the sky and took on all kinds of shapes I could imagine. We came across a couple of guys with a canoe and Barb insisted on taking a picture of her small plush Koloa sitting in it. His name is Bicky and she bought him while she was in Australia. Her goal is to take his picture in as many places as possible. It’s a rather amusing sight to witness.

I had a nice break from the city and it was very relaxing being with my family. It’s always nice to return to your own place again and get settled back into your routine. I hope that we have some cooler days ahead of us, as that would certainly help to get my productivity back on track.
