September 24, 2014. Western Head, N.S. Short and Sweet Visit.

The visit was short but it certainly was sweet. While we sat on the deck, seals cavorted in front of our home, keeping us all entertained. Two bald eagles fly past the window just as we were eating. We leaped up to watch from the deck as they passed by us several times. It was thrilling to see them so close to the deck, which was almost at eye level. Wendy Buckley Watson is my niece and Katey Watson is her daughter, making her my grand niece. She and her boyfriend Brock and his parents visited us this afternoon, arriving at 3:30 and leaving at 6:45. The day was glorious so we sat and enjoyed the sea and the seals. Our friends Wendy and Clausen came by with the dogs to pick up a goose carving, so they joined in the conversation. Gill had met Brock and Katey at York University so I invited her too. After Wendy and Clausen left, we seven took tea and quiche at the dining table. Along with the tea biscuits they brought and the cucumbers from Ken's garden, we had a pleasant repast. Next stop for them was Digby, where they intend to dine on Digby scallops, which are the world's best. Brock's parents live in Prince George, in British Columbia and had never been to the Maritime provinces before. They loved it so we hope it will not be their last. We thoroughly enjoyed the short but sweet visit with the four of them.
