Up Early

Boy, do I hate it when I wake up early in the morning for no reason at all. My mind just starts running and I can't get back to sleep. This morning it started about 4:00am and then finally at 5:00, I gave up and got up. I figure, I might just as well try and be a little productive now and then take a good nap later.

Hecktic Times, but we're home

Well, we did manage to get home from Nova Scotia. We had a great time, I hadn't been there since I was a kid. Of course the old Bluenose ferry isn't running anymore (nor is the new Cat) so we had to drive to Saint Johns and then as I said before we took the Ferry over to Digby. We spend a wonderful week on the southern side, but then the departure came and we headed for home.

When we got here, my wife had one more week of work and then it's retirement time for her. Well, of course this all has meant parties, dinners, etc. But, now it's official she is among the world of retired folk on fixed income..:-) But, now we will have time to go to lunch, take day trips or whatever our resources will allow and if we want to do it. Sounds great.

Of course now that all this is past us, I hope to be able to blog more often. I've been kind of slipping up on it.

Today, Sunday, we had coffee on the deck reading the newspaper, did some "small" tasks around the house, fixed a hose in the pool and now plan on taking a nap. It can't get much better...

Till next time, Tommy

Arrival in Nova Scotia

Well here's proof, we finally (after 2 days of driving) made it to Nova Scotia. In the picture is our ferry, from Saint Johns, arriving in Digby, Nova Scotia. After a 2-1/2 hour drive we arrived at our timeshare in White Point.

I was in Nova Scotia as a kid or I guess I should be politically correct and say as a child. Anyway, I'm really impressed with the vast amounts of open undeveloped land here. I mean there is a main road on the north and south coasts but there isn't much but undeveloped forrest land in the middle. It's great and we love it.
