July 29, 2015. Western Head, N.S. Dave and Irene.

Dave and Irene today will fly home to Ancaster.   They take the direct flight on West Jet to Hamilton, leaving at 5:10 and arriving, with the one hour different in time, at 6:10, making it a most convenient flight.   Because of the 2 hour drive to Halifax, they left our home at just after 12:30, which meant a leisurely morning and an early lunch with us before heading out to return the rental car before checking in for their flight.   As the weather is glorious, there should be no delays but I am always relieved to have our friends and relatives safely home in their own home.  Almost no flights these days are without delays so we hope for the best for them.

Dave commented last evening that although they did not really do much, they enjoyed their visit.   Of course, Ken and I are not able to drive around the province so they kept to our schedule of staying home and enjoying themselves.  They both did a tremendous amount of reading.  Most of all,  they were pleased that their suggestion of continuing the catering was so  much enjoyed by the 6 of us.  I don't know what I was thinking when I told Dave that it was not necessary.   A temporary lapse on my part and I am pleased that they over-ruled me and insisted.   Every evening, the good food fairy arrived with a wonderful meal for the 6 of us.   Such an unusual treat for us and such a good idea.   For the past 14 years, we have  enjoyed their visits to us in Nova Scotia, but this year was special.  So hats off to Dave and Irene for making the suggestion and for paying the bill.    Now we await their arrival home.
