July 12, 2015. Western Head, N.S. Living Here.

Pleasant living is what I call it.  Yesterday while sitting out by the pond, David N. drove by to say hello.  He is a wonderful carpenter who has made lovely pieces for us, including our coffee table.  He had not seen us this year so came by just to say welcome.  And this morning, Wendy stopped by for a cup of coffee and a visit.  While she was still here Mary walked over to invite us to dinner this week.   Shortly after Wendy and Mary left to walk home, Mary and Walt came to say welcome to Dave and Irene.   They were showing a house at Mersey Point and came early for a short visit.

Living here is pleasant.  The weather each day is moderately warm with always a cool breeze and we have the constantly changing view of the sea.  Until today, the ocean looked more like a calm lake but today we saw white caps and waves.   The Eider Ducks are beginning to assemble to start their journey south.   Our view of the Atlantic always changes.

Our company is pleasant too.  Dave and Irene are enjoying the Guest House while the Toronto Dickies are still in the Baby Bog of the Ely's.  And Christina and the girls are in our main house with us,  so we are well looked after.  Between the weather,  the sea, our friends and our house guests we have a pleasant life here in Western Head.

Dear Ruth and Ken, loved reading the blogs from NS. Dale and I so often talk about how beautiful it was and what delightful friends you have there.
The two of you are certainly such fine people.
We have bee very busy this summer! Doing ... we have trouble remembering what we have been so busy with!! Dale's daughter, Alana and her husband Jeff Kaiser came for a long weekend. It was so nice to see them both. Briana and her man, Randy Evanoff took Andrew and Randy's daughter, Abbey, to Los Vegas to Randy's other daughter's wedding. They were there for a long weekend, and did lots of fun things. Their favorite was a helicopter ride over the Hoover Dam and the Grand Canyon. I imagine now they are home -- they will be soooooo busy resting - who knows when we will see them again!
Melissa and her daughters, Carly & Vivian, will arrive this next Wednesday and stay until the end of July. That will be busy!!
I am in an interesting play, "Mrs. Packard". It takes place in the 1860's. Mrs. Packard is hospitalized in an Insane Asylum as she disagrees with her husbands beliefs on religion. I think we as women, we as human beings have certainly come far!! Love to you both!! Martha & Dale msbbanks106@comcast.net
