Another Outing with Tashia

Hospitality Days in Bathurst started on Wednesday so Tashia, Paul and I went downtown to hear a little of the Maritime Night music (The Navigators, a Newfoundland band was playing). We sat across the street near the tent to listen and had a great view (no chairs are allowed in the tent and we can't stand for too long).

Two happy people.

It was a nice evening.

I hope that splash is NOT from a fish on Tashia's hook.
I think it may be a fountain.

A proud fisher woman who provided two fish for the family fish fry that evening. It was a great meal that Jeannine and Gordie cooked up. Thanks you.

Tashia's Visit

Tashia arrived last week from British Columbia for a two-week visit. Paul and I drove to Moncton to meet her flight. After an overnight stay we headed for Beresford. Our first stop was The Rodd Hotel in Miramichi for lunch on their deck. It is a beautiful spot on the Miramichi River, well known as one of the best salmon rivers in Canada.

Last Saturday Paul and I hosted a La Croix family gathering at our house. It was to welcome Tashia home to Bathurst, welcome Gloria back home for her vacation week and to celebrate the birthday of Carmella (Paul's sister). It was a great gathering with lots of family memories.
