I hope everyone had a nice Canada Day. The weather certainly was not perfect but the celebrations went on as scheduled.
As there was no celebration in Campbell’s Bay we took in the festivities in Otter lake. For a small town they do very well at celebrating Canada Day. It was very well done and they got good participation. We enjoyed our time spent there. We took in some of the ball games on Sunday evening. It was the adult teams. It was very interesting and they get a good turn out of spectators. It was a nice way to spend a few hours on a Sunday evening.

We are getting too much rain and everything is so far behind. I think my tomato plants are pretty well drowned. Every day I have to break off yellow leaves so all that is left are the top parts. They are pretty sad indeed. A gardener I am not but I like to try. I don’t have a problem growing weeds though, they just flourish.
We have some nice flags installed on Front Street. They look good and the work has started at the new park so all is looking promising.
Well, I guess summer is underway now. We will start seeing people driving through and sightseeing. They are always welcome.
Plans are underway for the Summer Festival. I know it is not until August but things need to be organized. Maybe by then the rain will have stopped.
There is not much traffic on the river yet but surely that will start soon. We, for some, are getting anxious.
We extend our sincere sympathy to the Pepin family on the passing of Allan. he was well known in the area as he drove a Hostess truck for so many years. He will be greatly missed by his wife Giselle and family.
A get well wish goes out to Ella Romain who has been in the hospital for many weeks.
We send our best wishes to everyone who is not feeling well. We wish everyone celebrating a happy birthday and happy anniversary. I may have forgotten some stuff but I will get to it next time. Happy days.
