September 8, 2014. Western Head, N.S. Rita and Ian.

They drove today from Shediac, a town in New Brunswick, after spending the weekend visiting with friends from Sudbury. It turns out that Shediac is the self proclaimed lobster capitol of the world. Rita ate two lobsters for dinner on Saturday night. Moncton is close by as is The Bay of Fundy so it is a spot worth visiting. My sister and brother in law, Carol and Ken, often stayed a night or two with friends who moved to Shediac from Owen Sound, when they drove here every Fall. Rita and Ian report that both Ken and I are looking better. The last time we saw them was when they helped us organize the farm after Andrew died. Their two week assistance to us was a true act of love and compassion. They were a huge help both psychologically and practically. Now we greet them in neutral ground in beautiful surroundings ready to enjoy ourselves, together. This is the first time they have seen the new Guest House. The last time they visited the carriage house was being demolished. Now they are enjoying the new spot although Ian misses the beauty of the Carriage House. We turned on the good weather for their arrival. And the sunset was spectacular. We are pleased to see them again in Nova Scotia.
