Fall in the Maritimes

Some beautiful days along the Lawrencetown Beach. Lisa with their dog, Stella, also at Lawrencetown.

Something that I think that I could really get into is checking all of the seaside kind of activities that carry on at this time of year in Nova Scotia. Every month we receive a publication called "Shop the Shore" which describes special events that are not to be missed. For example, just on this weekend, events like "the old fashioned seaside Christmas" in support of Seaside Business and Tourism was being held in a few communities in proximity, there was a Christmas tea and bake sale, a quilt show and sale, another craft sale in Oyster Pond, the Chezzatcook volunteer fire department was hosting a hot turkey supper and Christmas sale. That's about it for this weekend. Lou and I were able to check out the quilt show and sale in Lawrencetown, an art display and sale in Seaforth and peek in at Theresa and Heather's. (a variety store in Seaforth that is very unique. It sells everything from guitars to craft supplies including fine yarn, to groceries, jewellery, rents videos). It is a place that everyone in the area knows about. The sisters who own it and work there all the time know everyone in the surrounding area. It is also open every day.

This morning we were at Good Shepherd Church. The people were so very welcoming. We are so very thankful and happy about all that we are able to experience here, for friends here and away, for our family also here and away. In another week or so we will plan to celebrate Thanksgiving again. (we always celebrate Canadian and U.S. Thanksgiving).
