September 19, 2020. Western Head, Nova Scotia. The Fehr Family.

Anna I know well. Her husband Abe I have met several times. Their 19 year old son Isaace did some work for me last summer and once we went out to lunch together. Last year, the three of the Fehr family had dinner together the last Saturday before I left. We had such a good time last year that we did it again. We even ate at the same place: Pauls German Bistro. Anna and Abe have 6 children and 20 grandchildren. Isaac is the only one living at home. For the last year he has been working but I am hopeful that he get some furthur training. The family no longer attend the Mennonite church but the attitude toward higher education still sticks and though both Anna and Abe are urging Isaac to obtain credentials to become a mechanic the old attitude still lingers with Isaac.. So far this year he has done nothing about it except think. I hope by the same time next year he will have made progress. He is smart and pleasant but we don't know about his backbone and his determination. But we are going to find out. Paul's Bistro has done well. He has expanded the outside dining and covered the front deck. And he has obtained his liquor license which is good. Tonight the place was full. Of course, he only allows one seating a night. While we were there two couples wanting to have dinner but without reservations were turned away. The food has always been good but the service was slow. But not tonight. Everything was perfect and we had a good time. The chef, Hans, was speaking German with a couple at an adjacent table. As the Fehr Family all speak low German, they started talking together in German. The couple live in Halifax and often come to Liverpool for the weekends. They always dine at Pauls. They overheard my conversation with Isaac about obtaining credentials and they chimed in. I hope it helps Isaac. On the way home we drove in to look at Moose Harbor, The Western Head Lighthouse and the homes of the Elys and Mitchells. The evening was beautiful and we had just enough light to enjoy the scenery. The evening was fun and festive. It was the 39th anniversary of Anna and Abe. Certainly worth celebrating.
