Loretta and Buck moved to Liverpool in 1978, from their home in Newfoundland. When they were transferred here by the Bank, they had three young boys, who now have children of their own, but still live in Liverpool. In fact, two of the boys and their families live just across the street. It is certainly a different world to the rest of us. During the time we were there, one son stopped by with two children for a quick swim while another son stopped to borrow butter. It is very convenient for all.
Because they are from Newfoundland, many phrases pop up that are new to us. Very often I can not catch the meaning. Buck likes to fish and hunt. In fact he has four beatifically trained hunting dogs, two setters, one pointer and one beagle. He just returned from two weeks fishing in Newfoundland so he is full of stories of Newfoundland.
Last evening, Loretta and Buck invited us to dinner. We very often get invited all together. Gill, Mary and Clif and Ken and I enjoyed our dinner together with Loretta and Buck. We ate seafood casserole with rice along with a big salad. But what a treat we had for dessert: home made crepes stuffed with cheese, and covered with blueberry sauce. Delicious.
The only bad part was that we five had a major argument, right in front of these lovely gentle people. Next time, we must be better behaved!!
