Good evening!
This will probably be quite a short blog tonight as it is late and there's not much to say. Up this morning and went with Jonathan down to the local dollar shop to get a load of gear so that we blend in on Canada Day on Tuesday. I have a funny feeling though with the maple leaf neckerchiefs, the hats, the socks and Jonathan's giant flag, that we will look like Irish tourists and just end up being regarded as quite simple by the locals!

With 2 dozen Tim Horton doughnuts under our arm we set our for the parish youth trip to New River beach an hour or so out of town. Well us and the Mc Mullins and one other family and a lone youth we picked up. It was pleasant to walk on the beach and the expected rain didn't materialise and the barbeque was good. Jonathan was in swimming for most of the time. I went beach coming with Patti and her daughters and she found me a silver dollar shell. There is apparently a legend on the internet about it so I must check it out.

It appears that though I knew the rector was heading off to do his naval service on Sunday, his family are joining him - musn't have got that email! Ah, so that explains why we are going to the diocesan youth camp Monday night {no internet, no blog} are being entertained by a parish family on Canada Day and taken sailing all day Wednesday and dropped to the airport by the lay reader on Thursday!!!!!!! We are continuing to stay at the Rectory and minding the cats.
That's it folks. Time for bed, I need to tidy up my sermon tomorrow for Sunday.
