Jul7 17, 2011. Western Head, NS. A Sunday Brunch.

It was held at our house, today, at 11:00.   It is another of our decisions to entertain during the daylight hours.  Another decision was to keep the parties small, with just five or six people invited.  In attendance was Sandra and Bob S.,  Gill W. and Patricia and William H.   No one knew each other well, which for a social event  is a major asset.  Our home here in Nova Scotia is full of art,  so William, who is an artist,  wanted to see our art,  including several of his own work.  He is an artist, with a gallery on Main Street in Liverpool and over the years we have taken all our company to visit his lovely works of art.

The Brunch was a success.  Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves and the conversation was lively.   I had one observation.   Bob and Sandra are good friends and have lived here almost thirty years.  Prior to that they lived in The Eastern Townships just outside Montreal.  They are polite and very understated.   Everyone at the table have lived in Liverpool longer than Patricia and William.  It did not stop Patricia and William discussing the history of Queen's County,  in addition to criticizing present practices.  Now Bob has been the controller of the county all those years so knows everything that has been done over the years, but he did not say a word.    We all just added to the conversation but were on our best  behavior.

William and Patricia live in Vermont and are Americans, but they summer in Nova Scotia.  They are definitely not Canadians.
