July 3, 2016. Western Head, Nova Scotia. Cocktails on the Lower Deck.

The intention was for the Ely Family and the Mitchell Family to fly kites and make a fire in our fire pit before returning home for dinner.  Both families had house guests and grandchildren, so they all came.   The weather was perfect on the deck so I called Walt and Mary to see if Walt would like to sit on our deck and enjoy the view of the sea, which they did.  And of course Gill was there too.  Tojo was elected to take the video of their Nova Scotia visit as Tucker was not there to perform the duty.

Unfortunately, the county is so dry there was a fire ban so no fires could be made, even on the shore.  But it was a happy event anyway.  Most folks stayed down by the water while the old folks stayed on the top deck.  Everyone was delighted to see Walt.  He was clearly enjoying the people and the whole lovely scene of the children playing beside the rocks and the water, as they tried to fly the kites.

The Ely family brought a cooler of beer along with cheese, salami and crackers which they kept on the lower deck.   Everyone was pleased to be together in this lovely spot.  The whole event was spontaneous,  short and delightful.   A good time was had by all.
