I didn't realize I hadn't shared my last post when it was written. Better late than never, right.
The rest of my visit to the island was wonderful and I have many great memories that I've brought back with me.
Patti arrived on the island on Monday, having worked a flight from Toronto. She arrived at midnight and I picked her up early in the morning. We had a really nice day touring around the island, as tourists, no longer residents. We enjoyed lunch on the veranda at Dalvay by the Sea and a walk on the beach.
We ended our day by cooking dinner at Brenda's and because she was out from town, Meghan was able to drive her back into town to her hotel, before her departure the next morning.
Brenda and I took an overnight trip to the west end of the island. We visited several spots along the way that I'd never been to and stayed over at an Inn attached to a lighthouse. The weather was less than ideal but it didn't matter as we spent most of our time in the car.
I spent a night on the eastern end of the island, staying overnight with my friend Donna. She has a trailer that is parked at Red Point for the summer.
On the way to Red Point I stopped in at the Inn at Bay Fortune and saw Chef Michael briefly, for him to sign a cookbook for a friend back in Ontario'
One of the highlights of my trip was a dinner at Pat and Sharyn's. They had three little kittens that had been born in the barn. Mom had moved three of the six but never came back for the last three. Not sure if she abandoned them or was killed by something before she returned. Regardless there were three very tiny kittens and one that no one wanted.
Need I say more? My return trip was slowed slightly by having to stop every few hours to bottle feed this tiny wee baby.
On my way home, I stopped in Iroquois, Ontario and stayed two nights with former brother in law Mike and his wife. It was really nice to catch up with him after many, many years.
Finally back home and into our usual routine. Work three days, off for four.
