I was driven to get to the top, because I always want to see around the next corner, get to the deepest or highest point, the tips of things, lands end, the next island ~ You name it. Terry was driven because he knew how much I wanted to reach the top of High Dune, and he was there to encourage me (also to make sure I didn't get into trouble of some sort). When we got back to our lodge room after climbing, we managed quick showers and PBJ sandwiches before collapsing into bed. The great adventurers slept the afternoon away ~ LOL But what a marvelous day! Wishing you a great day today!Fundy Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02132147630106183853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5349947899983990762.post-75757065624596498462017-07-15T20:18:01.403-06:002017-07-15T20:18:01.403-06:00Congratulations, Louise and Terry!!!

I had gone to bed with a tooth under my pillow for the Tooth Fairy. The sun was setting outside my bedroom window and the Tooth Fairy flew up to my window and hovered outside it. I was beyond excited and called to my mother that the Tooth Fairy had arrived. She came running, of course, and had to explain to me that it was a male hummingbird. But what a moment! LOL Then she told me that I had better get to sleep, because the real fairy wouldn't come while I was awake. Have a good one, my friend. Say "Hi" to Daisy for me!Fundy Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02132147630106183853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5349947899983990762.post-76627334908893942012017-07-13T09:46:42.106-06:002017-07-13T09:46:42.106-06:00Laughing with each other always, Pat!

Terry and I had to rest in our car seats for about five minutes before Terry had the energy to start the car and I could pull the door shut. I managed to make PBJ sandwiches back at our lodge room. We devoured them, staggered through showers, and fell into bed to sleep the afternoon away. One of the best days of my life! One more day to go to the weekend!

I love my point-and-shoot Canon, which was in my right hand throughout the hike. By the time I was coming down, I had to push back the built in lens cover with my fingers each time I took a photos because sand had gotten into the moveable lens part. My camera was limping along anyway ~ I'm due for a new one after beating this one up for two or three years ~ LOL <br /><br />I'm listening to Ayreon right now. I've told you that I enjoy it several times before ~ but, I REALLY love it. When I get back from Nova Scotia, I'm going to have to get more of Ayreon's albums!

Terry, who always rescues me from bugs, spent about five minutes dislodging the hissing beetle. I'm not sure who was unhappier, the beetle or Terry. I'm glad that you enjoyed the post! Have a lovely day! Hugs to you and Hugh!
