Iceberg in the Strait

Sandy sent me these photos of an iceberg in the Northumberland Strait, just off the coast at Canoe Cove. Seems this is a rarity. Beautiful but cold looking day. Thanks for the photos Sandy.

James and Betty at the River

James took Betty and Sarah to the Island on Friday in his 4Runner. Sarah had played three hockey games and, as James put it, lost, tied and won. She made 4 out of 5 goals and assisted on the 5th. She is a very talented athlete, way to go Sarah!!
 
They stayed with Ralta in Charlottetown, and James and Betty got away for a little while on Friday and visited Mom and Dad. While there, James took these photos.

 First time I've seen the chairs since Mom painted them to match the kitchen.
 Poor old garage. Time permitting, I might take it down this summer.

The new lane. What a mucky mess
Dad put up stakes so they can follow the driveway when there is a lot of snow. I hope to get a hedge growing along the driveway to act as a snow fence and hold the bank.
Thanks James for the photos. Always good the see how the house is doing.

Picture from Ralta

My cousin Ralta sent me this wonderful photograph just now. That's Wayne, Ralta, Mom and Dad, with me in front! I look about 2 I would guess, so this would be summer of 1969. We are in front of Uncle Danny and Aunt Winnie's house at the top of the hill.

Thanks so much Ralta, I truly appreciate it! I love seeing and posting old family pictures.
