September 23, 2014. Western Head, N.S. A True Story.

Wendy and Clausen spied a handsome horse on the waterfront in Lunenburg. The Bluenose was tied on the dock right in front of them so while Clausen inspected the big ship, Wendy talked to the horse, whose name was Ernie. Ernie the horse was attached to a carriage, that took tourists around the town and as Wendy and Clausen had never taken a buggy ride in the old town, they decided to be a tourists, especially since Wendy liked the horse. The lady leading the tour was interesting and they learned lots of information about the old homes and buildings. When they were at the top of the hill, right beside the beautiful old school, they came upon a dog screaming in the middle of the road, being attended by an older lady, but to no avail. The dog kelp screaming. The horse and buggy stopped but before anything could be done, a lady wearing only a towel, ran out of a house to the dog. Now it was windy, and as the lady in the towel bent over to comfort the dog, her towel fell off. So picture the scene, with a naked lady standing in the middle of the road with a buggy and a handsome horse and passengers looking on. It was quite a sight. Ernie the horse turned his head aside. The young lady leading the carriage commented that as the naked lady was definitely not a 10, they might as well drive on. By then, the towel was secured and the dog had stopped screaming so all was well. You just never know what will happen on a residential street in Lunenburg.

I believe that Ian, Rita, Dale and I ate about the spot Wendy & Clauson talked about. Unfortunately, or perhaps "fortunately", we did not have that adventure. But, indeed the harbor and the boats and the horse drawn carriages -- loving to re-picture this in my mind! Can you please resend Wendy & Clauson's email, snail mail address, etc.? Thanks in advance.

Love, Martha & Dale Banks
