Pictures update... As promised... yet LATER!!
Here are some pictures from my first few weeks of holidays...
The first pictures are from the reunion...
These are from my days out with Kenneth, taking pictures around the county...
Next picture was from a sunset... it was the week after the reunion and while a few of my old classmates and I met for a drink on the patio at Rudder's...
Then on Seafest weekend, Yarmouth was host to a few Tall Ships. Here are some shots taken on Saturday afternoon when Mom and I were hanging out.
Hmmmm, oh, and then the Seafest Parade. We were lucky that the day turned so nice!! I love the parade every year. Our town works very hard to have a parade that is not just a big long commercial line of boring undecorated trucks and cars...
Then Saturday evening was the fireworks...
Rum running races took place on Sunday, and somehow I was recruited to join a few teams. I was on the dock hauling up the barrel for a mixed team, and then for a womens team I was one of the two rowers. I was surprised how well we kept up to the mens team we were racing against. It took us only 9 min 40 something sec to cross the harbour, get a barrel in the boat, row back, haul up the barrel, and run it to the finish line!
Oh and just before I finish, my brother Paul and his wife, Jessica, dropped in with the CUTEST kitty, who was found by one of my brother's co-workers and is looking for a good home... Paul and Jessica can't imagine bringing her to the SPCA and the Customs staff have even donated money to pay for the spaying/neutering (whatever the girl animal needs!) So if you are looking for a VERY cuddly cute pet, I can attest to the sweetness of this little beast. She snuggled into my neck and slept their for a half hour during their visit! (Give me a call if you want this pet!)
This shot was taken one evening as I was walking on the wharf... Thought it was a PERFECT illustration of my blog address... THIS is why "Glistening Water" means so much to me!

I don't think it was me... I am biking often, but don't recall biking that way in a very long time!
Yeah, give me a shout I either go for a bike ride or walk when the weather is nice... So, for sure call me if you are going out for a walk and I might be able to join you...
Lunch would be fun, once Nan is back...
