He was bartending during the off season. He had a contest going with a bartender named Mary from Scotland at another bar over who made the best pineapple daiquiri. I had to decide. What a fun contest! He lost out to Mary. LOL I wonder where they are now? Way to go on your seedlings. Our snow is gone, although for the last two Mothers Days it's snowed. Every day I inch closer to getting back on track. Have a good week!

I hope all is well with you and Ron and Ms SD. The stores don't sell Scotch Broth here I must bring some back from Canada or perhaps make some. That was my favorite soup growing up too.

That movie gave me nightmares for about a week ~ too close to home with all the fishermen I've known. There's a little bird outside singing his heart out. I think it must be a little finch. I love spring.

It was scary in the canoe, and I've never forgotten the look of the wind streaks on the waves. I'm glad that Don's fishing trip turned out well for him. I'm sure it was an adventure. I remember a fisherman telling me in Newfoundland that he always wore big boots when fishing, so that if he went into the cold water he'd drown quickly rather than die more slowly from hypothermia. I hope you two are enjoying a lovely spring weekend!Fundy Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02132147630106183853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5349947899983990762.post-39485065106674225852018-04-28T19:14:15.045-06:002018-04-28T19:14:15.045-06:00Hi, Pat!

Your dad is my hero. He is amazing in so many ways. His good thinking saved the day in many instances. I can't imagine how you must have felt that at any time the canoe may have capsized and over you all would go and drown. My husband was on a fishing trip to Canada and dropped off by plane on a lake for the week. It was late in the fall and he said if the canoe he paddled would have tipped and he would have gone in the ice cold water he wouldn't have lasted long. I can't comprehend such danger. (By the way, that was his last trip in the fall).Peggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16610347687911147219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5349947899983990762.post-28840655800735152032018-04-27T14:44:37.499-06:002018-04-27T14:44:37.499-06:00Your own mini Swiss Family Robinson adventure.

Cold lake water, twice I have been there, once at Lake Waikaremoana in Urewera National Park, I tried to get into the aluminium dinghy, from the shoreline, it floated away, I slipped, and even in January, the water was so cold.In memory, we went back to our tent and camp site with me wrapped in a towel!!! Your father kept a very cool manner, no doubt trying so hard not to pass on his doubts and worries about getting home or to the island safely.Your Mum must have had a huge heart of solid love and I wonder if she was also so worried but not showing it.Nancy Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11854698513524662527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5349947899983990762.post-28934810021742183882018-04-27T09:29:48.026-06:002018-04-27T09:29:48.026-06:00I love a happy ending!
