July 4, 2013. Western Head, N.S. Happy Independence Day.

Today, Ken and I actually forgot the July 4th Celebration.  After all, it is not a holiday in Canada.  At 5:15, while sitting on the deck enjoying a glass of wine, we finally remembered, so called our friends Wendy and Clausen and Walt and Mary, to come and join us for a glass.  It seemed unpatriotic to drink alone.  Dave and Irene are here but they are Canadians.   It was nice, chatting with friends and watching the ocean.  We served no food so it was simple.

After they left,  Ken suggested that we celebrate the 4th by eating a big bowl of ice cream for our first course at supper.  It was a great idea and tasted great.   We had eaten our dinner at noon, which is the custom in Nova Scotia, so we four were not really hungry.  Then Dave set out cheese and crackers which we ate while watching the sunset.  It was a perfect July 4th celebration.
