August 21, 2019. Western Head, Nova Scotia. Dinner with Walt and Mary.

Dave and Irene had not yet seen Mary and Walt this season, so we invited them for dinner tonight. By now we are all old friends so the evening was easy and fun. Walt and Mary arrived at 6:30 and left at 8:30 so it was not a late evening, which pleased us all. After dinner we five sat in the living room while health issues were discussed. The most important fact was that we are all here walking and talking and not complaining. We did get lucky with our dinner. Our caterer brings us a mystery meal every evening. He always brings extra food so Irene and I decided not to increase the number of dinners from 3, on the assumption that dinner for three could spread to five. And it did. Stewart brought us six big fish cake, plenty for five. And he sent Cole slaw, beans and brown rolls, baked today. The amount of the food was just perfect. We still have one fish cake in the fridge for some nice lunch, along with a little coleslaw and beans. For dessert we gave options: apple pie, ice cream or wild blueberries and milk. Tonight was the first of the season of the wild blueberries. They were tiny but tasty. Dave spotted them on the sign outside of Cosby's garden center so we make a quick U turn and Irene bought the 10 pound box. Our dinner was delightful. We three all felt that Walt looked better than last year. Progress has been made.
