September 19, 2014. Western Head, N.S. Friends.

Friends bring us great pleasure, here in Nova Scotia. Some friends and relatives stay with us. Other friends walk over just to say hello. But they all bring zest to our lives. In years past, Ian worked along with Ken with the project of the day. Now Ken helps Ian. They accomplish many tasks and they have a good time too. Rita is a whiz in the kitchen so is a huge help to me organizing the meals. Ken and I do not fuss over house guests. They become part of the family so we enjoy their company. This afternoon, Gill walked over unannounced to ask us about our evening plans for tomorrow. The Swing Band is giving a dance in Milton, while the new Hockey team, The Liverpool Privateers, are playing their first game in the new arena, so we have a problem. First we split a beer because neither of us wanted a whole can. Finally we called Bruce and convinced him to come to the Swing Band with the ladies, while Ken and Ian will attend the hockey game. Rita and I will start at the Swing Band then return to the hockey game when we get bored. Our friends sorted it out, after Gill and I split yet another can of beer. Friends are wonderful, here in Nova Scotia..
