July 24, 2017. Western Head, Nova Scotia. Pat and Mal.

Tomorrow, Pat and Mal fly home to Barrie.  Every day since their arrival they have been looking for large waves.  But to no avail.  The Atlantic Ocean has been calm.   Looking out to sea reminds you of sitting by a lake.  No storms, no surfers, no big waves.  But on the other hand, sitting outside was delightful.  Sometimes they moved lounge chairs around the house to sit in the shade.

Mal has changed every blown out light bulb.  He completed his task yesterday afternoon when another bulb blew out at the top of the stairs.  Every morning he unloads the dishes before going for a run or bike ride.  And he sets up the coffee pot so all we must do is push the botton.  And Pat helps in every way.  They are great guests and are welcome back anytime.

Today, Gill invited us for a farewell lunch for Pat and Mal.  Gill has become a good cook and a gracious host.  She made a cold cucumber soup which was delicious.  She also made sour dough crackers and home made bread.  And for dessert she baked a poppy seed loaf.  The seals arrived to her rocks today so we were excited to see their return.    The view from her house is spectacular so seeing it again is a pleasure.  Tomorrow we will be all by ourselves.  Our home will be quiet for sure.
