Out of the Past

Bob was surprised on Tuesday to be called out of district meeting (I had stayed home so Keaton and Lachlan could come over while Tara took a couple of the boys to the Dr.).  Earl Wyman, who had been one of Bob's room-mates the eight months previous to our marriage was touring Nova Scotia and had looked us up.  On the first date I had with Bob, Earl double dated with us.  We have corresponded sporadically at Christmas over the past 46 years, but have never gotten together before.

Earl came to the Temple on Wednesday and then we went down to the Halifax Waterfront and had dinner and wondered around and reminisced.

Last Sunday was Father's Day and we had supper with Nathan and Tara & Family.

Monday evening we went to Liam's soccer game and then got him to the Oakland Terrace (a Senior's home) in time to play his drums in a program that a couple of families were putting on for the residents.

June is Half Gone

We don't live a very exciting life here in Nova Scotia.  The only thing that I can think to write about is the second crop of dandelions that are again colouring the lawns yellow.

Yesterday was a busy day at the Temple.  A group of new missionaries arrived in the Halifax mission and they all came to the Temple in the morning.  One of the missionaries is a Thompson from Mountainview (one of Oakley Thompson's great grandsons).  The missionaries who have finished their mission and are heading home will attend the temple tonight.

The Dartmouth Pipe Band has started their summer practices in the outdoors.  This year they are practicing at the Dartmouth Common over near the harbour close to the McDonald Bridge.  Yesterday Bob drove the boys to their practice and took a few pictures while he was there.

It was a good evening for sailboats.

 An icebreaker was in the harbour.
