It started on the First of August and continued on the Second. We arrived first, be followed soon by David and Suzanne and the four girls. The next day Dave and Irene arrived, and Andrew and Christina and the three girls. Pat and Mal came too, as well as Kieth and Wilma and Darlene. Then came Ken and Anne and Eric and Elise, all the way from Vancouver. And Carol and Ken came in town too. Our group of related folks are gathering bit by bit. It is a wonder to behold. Last night our friends who built houses came for dinner to meet our kin folks. Our friends had their children too along with their off-spring, so we were a merry group of 40 at dinner. My favorite caterer served a pasta bar. It was a big hit to both children and adults. So far, every plan has worked out very well and I have not cooked a thing.
Today, some of us went to the cottage, even thoough the rains came now and then. Everyone swam and played and enjoyed themselves. Gill had a reception for all of us this evening, then my family came back to my house for dinner. David and Andrew and Eric and Ken are still solving the world problems, out by the fire in the rain. The cousins are enjoying each other. Molly is a sweet baby. All the adults are delighted to be together. We did a good thing when we decided to have our 50th Anniversary here in Nova Scotia. So far, I am pleased with our plans.
