I enjoyed my self thoroughly. And I was delighted that Beth and Ben took the time to come to visit . They had been camping in Nova Scotia and PEI, using a small trailer. On Wednesday, their plan was to take a sail on the Blusnose, then come to say hello to me. I suggested they stay for dinner and stay the night here before beginning their drive home to Ontario and work which would begin on Monday.
I decided not to use the caterer. We ate smoked salmon, cream cheese, capers and crackers while sitting at the kitchen, camping style. Anna had cook a lasagna so for dinner, Beth heated it in the oven and made a salad. We ate sitting in the living room. And for dessert, we ate a fudgesicle from the freezer. And they loaded and started the dishwasher. So dinner was fun and easy, with their help.
My sister Carol had two sons, Ben and Peter. I have always felt part of there lives but after Carol died, I realized that what linked me with Ben and Peter and their families was Carol so I have felt disconnected from the boys. I was pleased that Ben and Beth decided to visit me. And we all agreed to do a better job of keeping in touch. Our visit was short but good. And our future will be more connected. We have promised!!
