On July 7, I went to my cousin Heather Boyd’s home up the Picanoc and helped her celebrate her 66 birthday along with many other friends and family. It was so nice to see my cousin Cindy and her husband Mic and their son Joshua along with Christina and John and their boys. Sunday happened to be the most beautiful day, sunny, dry and just the perfect temperature to sit outside and enjoy the day. It was really nice to spend the afternoon with family.
The annual cemetery mass was held at Saint Elizabeth Parish in Vinton on Sunday. A lot of people were joking about the traffic jams that all the cars were causing in Vinton. That sure doesn’t happen too often in our quaint little town. Seriously though it was really nice to see such a great turn out for the cemetery mass.
On my way to Otter Lake on Sunday I noticed a huge, pink dragon floating in the little lake across from Phil Dale’s. It was out there last year too so I guess it just woke up out of its hibernation. Somebody out there has a great sense of humor. It is quite the site to see among all the cat tails and swamp. Thanks for putting a smile on my face and showing the whimsical side of life.
The garden is really doing good this week with all the heat. I have tomatoes and tons of blossoms so it looks like a good crop. The cucumbers are already starting to run so it won’t be long for them either. The lettuce and onions are ready to eat now. Strawberries are ready all over the place and I was even out picking a few wild ones but my back won’t let me pick for very long. It is so maddening to not be able to work the way I used to.
I would like to wish the following people a very happy birthday: Sonnie Desjardins, Lacy Bertrand, Karen Frost and Amanda McCoshen on July 10, Jessica Hill on July 11, Cory Pilon and Suzanne Dubeau on July 12, Lynn Morin, Joe Belland, Linda Ferrigan on July 13 and Lana Desjardins on July 14.
Happy anniversary to Lorraine and Merrill Hearty on July 11 and to Suzanne and Alex Kluke and Raymond and Nicole Larivière who celebrate on July 13 and to Jill and Charles Heaphy on July 14.
