Well, if you think we have not received enough rain yet, hang on because there is more coming. Yuck! Anyway there is not much happening around town.
School is out and all children are happy and all parents are probably stressed, wondering what to do to keep them busy.
I did not realize the holiday was being honoured on Friday instead of Monday but we took Monday off at the store anyway.

Our dear Father Costello passed away. He was so loved and cherished by so many people. If you had anyone in the hospital when he was hospital chaplain then you know what I mean. He served the Lord as a priest for 55 years. His retirement was unfortunately very short lived.
I guess now the whole focus will be on Canada Day. There are a lot of different activities in many different towns around the valley but sadly, nothing in Campbell’s Bay. But without travelling too far we will find somewhere to celebrate.
I had a chat with Mark Shea at his uncle’s funeral so I got to hear firsthand about his adventure when he did the walk in Israel. I thought he walked with a group but no, he did this alone and as he put it, just him, his tent and sleeping bag. He wore out two pairs of hiking boots. He admits it was strenuous but he is glad he did it. Now his next adventure is off to Iceland and I believe he said in July.
Well, there is not much else but to say happy birthday to those celebrating and happy anniversary as well and to all those not up to par we send our best wishes.
I want to send a happy birthday wish to our little Canada Day girl Morgan Tracey who will be celebrating her fifth birthday.
Happy Canada 150 everyone, enjoy!
Father Tanguay’s thought of the week: “You can give without loving but you cannot love without giving.” His thoughts always make me think, that is why I like to share them.
