Domestic food fishery is underway!



Life continues to be fantastic! Good friends out fishing, bringing home their catch, then filleting it in a most masterful way, then Hugh and I get to have lunch with fish less than 1 hour out of the water! Life is very, very good.

Last week's fun


I had the opportunity to spend 5 days taking instruction from one of St. John's finest oil painting people, Tara Bryan. It was fantastic!
These are 2 scenes I painted while also enjoying the company of Lesley, Janet, Paul, and Jennifer who also attended.

The Good Life


Summer is in full swing. Crab and lobster harvesting season are drawing to a close. What a better way to celebrate than to have a big seafood feed. Gordon and Anne are visiting from Peterborough, Ontario and this is their last night with us. We tried buns that were partially baked needing just 8 minutes in a 350 degree oven. They were delicious!

We ended with a rhubarb pie. Emma, our wonderful neighbour, brought in over the day before saying;" I stole this rhubarb from my sister Ninie, now you have to take half the blame."

What are friends for?
