First Leg Of The Trip........

Day One....


We flew out of Toronto Pearson Airport, on a cool, cloudy Sunday afternoon...

Arrived in Moncton New Brunswick, just before  dinner time...same weather conditions there...cool, and rainy!!

Walked out to eat...did not take my camera, as we were huddling under an umbrella...hiding from the cool rain and windy conditions...

I took a photo...the next day...of the restaurant we ate at...

"Catch 22" Lobster bar...

It had been featured on the tv show"You Gotta Eat Here" on Food network...

Very nice East coast decor...but we weren't that crazy about our meals...

We each had a platter, with shrimps,scallops,salmon and cod...

Nothing really stood out as delicious...perhaps it was the "beeping" of the microwave that turned us off!! Hahaha!
 
Oddly, and nicely enough, there was a gorgeous sunset out our hotel window...

So ends our Sunday...

Day Two...


On the road early to meet up with Pam in Fredericton New Brunswick...

About a 2 hour trip...along the Trans Canada Hwy...

At least the rain had stopped for the drive...but, very cloudy...
 

I managed to grab this photo of the St John's River from the car...

You can see the huge clouds...

I met up with Pam around 11:30am...

We talked and talked...finally ordered lunch...

Delicious chicken club panini and fries of course!

I had crocheted her this cowl...a new invented pattern...I love the way it turned out...hope she gets some use out of it this Winter!!

I made her a card from one of my photos...

and I do believe she loved it!!

Pam gave me a lovely bag of goodies!!

Lovely linen napkins, stencilled with a blue bird...a stack of her fabulous photos made into cards with envelopes...love these!! Some lovely paper napkins and a handpainted magnet for the fridge!! This is already on the fridge at the cottage!
Thanks so much Pam! you are very thoughtful!
 

My boyfriend arrived back to pick me up...after about 2 hours of gabbing...well, as I said before, mostly me!! I am a talker!!

We headed back to Moncton, where it was still dry, so as it was nearly dinnertime, we took a short walk, and I got a few photos.


This park is right beside where we stayed...

These Tulips were outside the RCMP offices...

Beautiful, eh??

The sculpture of the ship, was built where there used to be an old ship building business.

Pam told us that her great grandfather used to practice his skills here, and we found his name on the monument!

Pam is very proud of her Maritimes heritage, just one of the many things I liked about her!

We walked up Main Street, and found a great place to eat...

Boyfriend was in heaven!!

He had this board with raw oysters,steamed mussels,smoked salmon with red pappers..,smoked trout/capers spread...all with some crispy bread alongside...

I had fish and chips...delicious!!

If we can get a seat, we like to sit at the bar...more friendly there...and you can meet some interesting people!!

This was where we ate...

If you are ever in downtown Moncton...

"You Gotta Eat Here"!!!


Last night in Moncton...

Off to Truro Nova Scotia the next morning...

Another gorgeous Sunset in Moncton...

Hope you are all having a great day!!

I worked all day!! Laundry...vacuuming...and I fixed up Miss V's room a bit...she does love visiting here...to have her own space...
I still had my oldest daughters wee table and chairs, so i finally got that up to the room...she will be so excited when she visits next!

Well...the sun is finally out...after another rainy cloudy day...
The humidity seems to be building up...
Hope to get out tomorrow, and run a few errands...

I have skinny beef soup on the stove...smells delish!!

We are gonna have an oven meal tonight...

Pork Chops...roasted yams...fresh asparagus...

Have a great evening...
