September 10, 2017. Western Head, Nova Scotia. Social Life.

Friday evening, Wendy and Clausen came for dinner.  I thought that Don and Doreen were leaving on Saturday.  Instead they left on Friday morning which meant I would have had 4 meals delivered to our home, so I called Wendy to help us out.  Our evening was delightful.  As a special treat our cook sent Hodge Podge, which is a Nova Scotia delicacy.

 We had been invited by Jan and Larry to dine with them for Brunch on Saturday at 11:00.  Gill was invited too.  Larry is an excellent cook so our brunch was scrumptious.  Gill picked us up in her new Subaru.   I always enjoy seeing their home because I saw it before their restoration.  Their home is elegent but comfortable.  I even avoided spilling my coffee on their white chairs.  Our conversation was lovely and interesting.  And we finally left at 2:00.

At 3:30, Betty and Final came over for tea.  We sat in the kitchen c hatting for ages.  We both were busy this summer so we enjoyed seeing them.  And Vinal harvested a bunch of vegetables from the garden, which pleased Ken.

This afternoon Rita and Ian arrived from Ottawa, so we have been chattering ever since, catching up with the years absence while also watching the storm on TV.  They were forced to cancel their visits to both Mexico and Mississippi so we were delighted that they were able to come to Nova Scotia.  They arrived in pouring rain but soon the sun came up and was beautiful.  Gill walked over to welcome Rita and Ian.  And we drank a cup of green tea.

Our social life here is never dull.  This weekend was a perfect example of our life by the shore in Nova Scotia.
