Last night..the full moon was amazing

2009-07-08T05:27:00.000-07:00

What a lovely sight..The full moon reflected on the ocean.. It is without any doubt the most amazing part of living here. I just love it.. I was up about 3:30 this morning..and again was dazzled with a site of the moon. This time as the sun was rising in the east..the moon was still well up in the western sky..and as the sky turned a pale grayish shade of pink..the moon was glowing like a giant opal. What a sight..It was beautiful.

Today the sun is out it is still a bit chilly but I think it will warm up enough for the beach this afternoon. Tonight heading to the Triangle Club in C'town..to party a bit with Julie. Looking forward to it..we always manage to have a few laughs..actually we have a lot of laughs.

This morning I hope to have a visit with Eddy Quinn..who said he would stop in for a bit. If he doesn't show his face before 10:30 I am heading into Souris to do a bit of laundry. I can't wait to get my washing machine..I don't mind going to the Laundromat..but I can find better things to do with my time. So this summer I got my grill which I had wanted for about 15 years.. I will put in my patio which I have wanted for 5 years..I will hopefully build the deck on the West side of the house..and I WILL GET A WASHING MACHINE.. I had to check with Donnie about how to winterize them ..but it's pretty easy..so there you go. No more excuses.. : )
WOMAN POWER..at work..

I wish you all a lovely Wednesday..stay safe now..have yourself some fun..but watch out for pirates..and whatever you do remember

BREATHE and smile for me..

SUN...the sun

2009-07-07T06:03:00.000-07:00

Last night I went into town to see a movie with Donna, Julie, Peb's and Whitney.. It was great..sad sad sad..But women love sad movies.. : ) And I discovered that I can play videos on this laptop sooooooo I plan on renting a few later today.

Just came in after J J removed the tree the roof. It was quite a show..But it's done and cleaned up. The sun is coming back and long range forecast for warming temps and sunshine through the weekend. Heading to Souris later to get supplies..not sure what else. Tomorrow night heading to town to hear J J play at the Triangle Club. Should be a good time.

Tonight JJ and Julie are coming for dinner..May crank up the new barbecue for the event. We'll see.

Fiddle Festival is just down the road and it is going to be a goodie..I think just about anyone who is in the maritimes will be here.. Can't wait..

So I should get busy here and get to Souris before the sun goes away.. I wish you all a happy Tuesday..stay safe now and watch out for pirates..

Whatever you do remember

BREATHE and smile for me

Monday, Monday..trust it????

2009-07-06T05:20:00.000-07:00

Today the sun is shining..the sky is Sapphire blue. The wind has turned and is blowing from the Northwest. That means cool weather. I'd guess it is around 50 degrees outside at this time. It's 9:30 Canada time at the moment. Hopefully J J will come by later and we can get the tree cleared off the roof of the old house.

Yesterday I took a long walk on the beach..sat on the sand for a bit and watched a family of piping plovers who are nesting near my stretch of sand. They are almost extinct..so here on PEI we do everything possible to protect the nests. Areas are roped off to keep people away..and the nests are covered with a protective fence..that is positioned in a way so that only the birds can enter.. They are tiny grey and white shore birds..very sweet ..The babies are due to hatch within the next two weeks..I hope to have photos to share. Last night was the first Ceilidh of the season at Monticello..J J is hosting them this year.. There was quite a nice crowd..without any real advertising.. I told J that I would make up posters and put them around the camp grounds and stores for him..That is a job for me this week...

I have to pick up a new memory card with an adaptor on it so I can download my photos into this laptop. It is annoying me that I can't do it now. I like to show you all what I am writing about. So when I get it.. I will be editing these notes. Remember to check back.

Later today I am going into town.. (Charlottetown) with a bunch of my friends. We are going to see the movie " My Sisters Keeper" a real down right, without a doubt, "CHICK FLIX ,TEAR JERKER" Can't wait!!

Aside from that I have to get busy writing a press release for the paper back home to let people know about the concerts in the fall. I hope to get that sent off before the end of the week. Another good feature having a laptop. I can get work done. So my friends..so have yourselves a good Monday.. stay safe..watch out for pirates..and remember

BREATHE and smile for me

Sunday...

2009-07-05T08:17:00.000-07:00

Just back from breakfast with..J J , Julie, the kiddies, Donna, Kenny and Whitney. Great meal great conversation. Later today will be the Ceilidh at the lodge in Monticello. J J is running it this season..It should be a great time. I am handeling the door and concession stand.

Tomorrow J J is coming over with his chain saw and dump truck and we will work at getting the tree cleared away from the old place. Then fix the roof. Tomorrow night heading into Charlottetown with a bunch of my buddies to see the movie.."My Sister's Keeper"

The sun is out and I can hear the shore calling so I am off to the beach. I wish you all a lovely Sunday..Stay safe and happy..watch out for pirates..and remember

BREATHE and smile for me

Big storm here last night

2009-07-04T06:25:00.000-07:00

Wow what a night..an amazing storm came through..Lightning..thunder..rain and wind like I have never seen. Got some amazing pictures. This morning I looked out the window and saw branches on the roof of the old house.. Took a walk back with my neighbor..and went up stairs to be greated by a branch right through the roof in one of the back bedrooms. Good grief.. Have to borrow a chain saw and get it off the roof and repair the roof before more damage it done.. But maybe I'll find the hidden money.. LOL People keep telling me that the original owner " Iver Stewart" hid money in the walls of the place.. now I can take a look..

It isn't badout again today..every thing is wet and a lot of branches are down.but no rain..and I think the sun will be out before mid day. I have a few chores to do then I plan on going out to dinner with J J and the kids..

I wih you all a lovely 4th of July..enjoy the fireworks..stay safe now and make some happy memories.. Whatever you do remember..

Breathe and smile for me..

Friday...

2009-07-03T06:17:00.000-07:00

So all of you down in the US are getting ready for a nice weekend of fireworks, picnics and fun. Up here I am staring at the water, reading, going to dinner at The Blue Fin tonight and hanging with J J and the kids. Have to catch up with Kenny and Donna later and make a run into Souris to get the stuff I forgot yesterday.

That is about it. I have to pick up an adapter for my camera so I can down load photos. I got some sweet shots of Ella and Brady this morning. Ella is still a bit shy but she's coming around. Brady is adorable..All smiles and giggles.. He is crawling and into everythng he can grab. CUTE!!!!

So I must pick up the toys and get dishes donw then head to Souris.. Have yourselves a lovely Friday now and stay safe. Watch out for pirates now. I'll be thinking of you all. Whatever you do don't forget to

Breathe and smile for me

HOME AGAIN!!!!!!!

2009-07-02T11:46:00.000-07:00

Arrived herelast night about 8:30 later than usual beause of traffic at the border. The ride was fine..no prob;ems at all. Today went into Souris for supplies and to see J J and Julie.. SO GREAT to see them and Ella and Brady.. They are sooooo cute. This was an exciting day for the Chaisson Clan of Souris.. Their mini home was sold recentlyand today it was towed away to it's new restingspot out near Sheeps Pond. I went up to see the place for one last time.. It was kind of sad to see it all empty and up in the air..being put onto the back of a tractor trailer. Little Ella wasn't at all happy about the idea. She can't quite understand what is going on. But her new house will soon be here and she and Brady will love it. The new place arives mid August.. Till then they are staying at Julie's Mom's place not far from me at all.

So I am busy here putting my grill together unpacking and such.. So I will cut this short and wish you all a happy Thursday.. Ceilidh tonight!! Gotta get ready to party.. So stay safe my friends..watch out for piratesand what ever you do.. Remember

BREATHE and smile for me!!

Tomorrow..and the panera bread saga....

2009-06-30T07:30:00.000-07:00

So some of my friends on the island asked me to bring up some cinnamon crunch bagels for them.. This morning I called and ordered 2 dozen..was told that they would be boxed up and waiting for me.. Went to the store 20 mins later.. Was greeted..with the usual how can I help you stuff..told them picking up order..they took my card..rang it up..then panic set in.. They had sold my order..To which I responded I HAVE JUST PAID FOR IT..
SO...after a few mins of not too nice comments from me regarding another Panara Bread scam I saw happen to my friend Margie..The manager comes out..says they are sorry and they will have them for me TOMORROW.. NO good says I.. I want them today.. "So how can you make me happy about this?" The manager and the baker and the sales person are now staring at me like deer in the headlights of a tractor trailer...

"GIVE me what ever cinnamon crunch bagels you have and make up the rest of the two dozen with a mix of what you have and give me my money back"..Says I.. by now there is quite a line behind me..and I am telling everyone what has happened..and the story about the lobster sandwich over charge..... So the manager refunds my charge packs up two dozen bagels including the 9 cinnamon crunch they have and says to me.. So sorry "Meg" I hope the rest of your day is better.. Thanks says I and off I go with two dozen free bagels.. YES .. LOL

On ward and up ward.. You all have a great day..stay safe..watch out for pirate bread sales people and be ready for a fight.. Remember whatever you do

BREATHE and smile for me...

Am I there yet???

2009-06-28T07:57:00.000-07:00

Sunday morning.. Last night I was awake half the night ..because of pain in my stupid toe.. It is almost healed but at night it feels like someone is sticking hot needles into it.. Not a good feeling.. Anyway this too will end.. Today Gabe and Amy are leaving for their vacation.. They are going to stay at The Harbor Side in Boston and then head out to the cape for a few days.. I hope they have a wonderful time.. They have worked very hard planning this out..

Chelsey and Brian were on the Cape yesterday and are due back later today.. Tomorrow they are coming here for dinner..and to say "see-ya" till they come up in August. I will miss MY KIDS and my grand daughters!!! I tear up just thinking about it.. Oh well there is plenty to keep me occupied on the island...

Last night at the house a lovely family from Texas gave a 65th Birthday Party for their Mom..It was amazing.. They hired a Jazz trio and I was blown away.. I open the door up here in the apartment poured myself a glass of wine and leaned back and listened to hot Jazz..I love it!!!

So that's the news from here.. I am "almost " packed.. There is another big party here this afternoon.. a grad party not as elegant as last night.. but a full house again.. More or a beer and pizza crowd than Jazz and fine wine.. LOL

I wish you all a lovely day..stay safe and happy.. make a few memories and watch out for pirates.. Remember whatever you do..don't forget to

BREATHE and smile for me..

Saturday, Sunday Monday Tuesday..I'm outta here!!!!!

2009-06-27T06:25:00.000-07:00

So yesterday I packed..But today I am going through it all ..I think I have at least 70 tee shirts..What was I thinking??? One a day for two months??? Good grief.. I am going to look at them again today and do some "weeding"..

Big Party here later..then break down and set up for another BIG PARTY tomorrow afternoon..

Chelsey and Brian have gone to the Cape for the weekend..and Tomorrow Gabe and Amy are leaving for their holiday. I won't get to see Gabe before I leave so I am thinking I may jump up to Hamp later for a HUG.. I'll see how the day goes.

This weather is really beginning to play on me.. The sun comes out..you think YES..then back come the clouds and the rain.. I am hating June this year. The island has had a run of some lovely days..but they are talking showers for early next week.. Hope they are gone when I get there..but I really don't mind a bit of cloudy foggy days..The sea is lovely no matter. I'll be taking photo's daily to show you what I am seeing..

So I should go and get some laundry done..you all have a great Saturday.. stay safe..and watch out for pirates.. Whatever you do remember to

OOPS I also have to order up 3 dozen bagels for my friends.. Peb's said that I would be checked at the Confederation Bridge and if I didn't have the bagels I wouldn't be allowed on the island. So who do they want to see me???? Or their Cinnamon Crunch bagels.. LOL

J J and Julie will be waiting at the dock in Souris..to take the boat out into the harbor to watch the fireworks and have a cook-out on deck.. I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THEM!!!!!!!

So today I am going to help one of the trustees hang some drapes in her living room. ( don't ask... ) aside from that nothing.. Looking forward to relaxing tonight and that is all!!! So my friends I wish you all a happy Wednesday.. the week is flying by.. Molly and Morgan are going to Cape Cod this afternoon with their dad..( notice the small letters BAD MEG..)

Yesterday I started..I pulled together the sheets, pillow cases and some of the towels. Today I am going to start on the spices..medicines and stuff like that. I got Molly's painting framed and ready for its new home and it looks lovely..I am going to hang in in my bedroom..next to a Wallace Nutting Photo that my Dad bought for Mom on their wedding trip ..It is of birch trees like Molly's painting..pictured here...

Tonight I'm heading up to Northampton to spend the evening with Amy and Gabe.. Tomorrow is Amy's birthday...so we are celebrating a day early. I have to bake her a chocolate cake..with whipped cream and fresh berries on top...HER FAVORITE..I just love her to pieces.. Later this week I will head down to spend some time with Sara before she has her surgery on Friday. I hate leaving her with all that she is facing..but I trust that between her family and friends she will find the strength to go on. I wish I could just bundle her up and bring her with me to PEI.. Unfortunately her Dr's would not think kindly of that idea..

So my friends I wish you all a happy Tuesday..stay safe now and watch out for pirates.. Remember to make some happy memories for yourself and what ever you do don't forget to

BREATHE and smile for me..

8 more days... Think I'll start packing

2009-06-22T07:58:00.000-07:00

THE DAD'S

Last night was fun. I love the enthusiastic way the young musicians of Northampton take to the stage. I know that Gabe has been thinking about the show for months now..They were pumped. There was a nice crowd that showed up and stayed till 11:30PM when the Dad's finally took the stage. Two groups came before..The first "The Novels'" was good and obviously have a fan base that follows their work.. The second group "The Diamond Mines" from Boston had a great sound.. came out with a loud wall of noise...Then went into a long stretch of wonderful vocals. They were very talented and very troubled by the way the sound came across..It was a shame..I cannot understand why a so called "Sound Technician" will not make an effort to present the music with quality. I know that other bands who play that club would demand and get quality sound.. Too bad it isn't consistent.

The highlight of the evening was when Gabe asked his Dad to join "some of the Dad's" on stage for a set of traditional tunes..Again the sound was awful nothing from monitors which made it difficult for the musicians to hear each other..I loved it in spite of the sound quality ... : )

Then came The DAD'S..they rocked the house with a wall of music and fun..I love these guys and gals.. They have such fun playing together..

It was a great night of music and friendship..

Today I have to pull out stuff for the island and start getting organized.. Aside from that not much. I wish you all a lovely Monday..Lets hope this lousy weather will be gone from now on!!! Stay safe now and watch out for pirates..Remember whatever you do..

BREATHE and smile for me..

9 days to go

2009-06-21T06:25:00.000-07:00

Happy Father's Day to all you DAD'S....I am remembering some crazy Father's Day with my Dad..when I made him breakfast at 6:00AM on the only day he could sleep in. Ahh what he had to put up with. I came along much later in his life.. my brother and sister were out of the house before I entered 8th grade..so I was quite a burden to him and my mother..

Oh well I give them some good times too..Once in a while anyway.. LOL

So today I am heading up to Northampton to hear Gabe's band play at The Eleven's..looking forward to spending time with him and his gang of hooligan's..I love their music..It is so much fun to listen too and watch..

9 days left..I am getting very antsy. About this time i start worrying about stuff.. Like who will be left behind down here. Will I be able to help them via inter-net and phone. I worry about Sara, Chelsey and the girls..Gabe and Amy. I guess I should just let go...but I can't.. That's just me. Thank Goodness I will at least be on line at the house this summer. That will ease my mind lots. I can instant message people..and send and receive photo's ..so that's cool. Chelsey and company will be up in August..Susan and Daniela will be up in August..and The Darrow's will be up in July..So most of my closest will be there part of the time. It will be fun and a much needed change.

So my friends you all take care now..Have a good week..stay safe..watch out for pirates..and whatever you do remember

Last night it was head up to Blandford to see my friends "The Darrow's"..Had a lovely dinner..got to hug one of the baby lambs..played with Raymond..laughed a lot..and planned their trip up to PEI..Well sort of planned. It's hard to get Phil to commit. Looks as though they will all head up on Tuesday July 14 and stay till July 21..BUT Zoe wants to come up on July 10..so there is still room for debate.. It may come down to two cars..with two loads of people.. BUT THEY ARE COMING and that is what is important. It's been a few years since they have come up..and I have missed them!!! Pam and I have a blast..we always manage to get into some kind of trouble.. : )....and when you add Julie, Donna and Margie to the pot well LOOK OUT EASTERN KINGS!!!

Today I am babysitting Sam again..my last time till next fall : (..I'm going to miss him.

He has grown so much and is now just full of giggles and grins.. So sweet.. It seems like yesterday when we were at the Bronx Zoo and Hava announced that she and Matthew were going to have a baby!! One year ago..too much.. So much has happened since then..It is amazing what a year can do.

So my friends..I must go now and get busy here..You all have your selves a happy Friday. It is still raining here and it looks like it will continue for 45 days.. LOL..But if it is sunny in your neck of the world enjoy..Get outside and make some memories..watch out for pirates and other nasty folks who steal dreams and crush memories.. They are not worth the effort!!! Whatever you do remember...

Today I am babysitting Sam this afternoon..then heading up to Blandfird for the evening..Spending some time with The Darrow's and planning their trip to PEI.

Should be a good time. I'm thinking I may have to take a boat up to Blandford though..THIS FRIGGIN RAIN is making me nuts!!!

Last night I went to watch Brian's baseball team..they won.. Got to see his parents one more time before they head back to Florida.. Their flight left this morning about 11:00 so they are well on thier way back..Nice couple..

Aside from this news all is well. Looking forward to tonight..a bit of a get together on Saturday night with Susan and a few other folks.. Sunday is the concert with Gabe's band..Next week I am going to spend some time with Sara ..have dinner with Amy on her birthday..and then PACK!!!! I can't wait to get outta here!!!!

Wednesday..it is cool and gray here again. They are saying we will get sun..but maybe not until August.. LOL... Good grief I am getting so tired of this lousy weather. Last night here at the house Agawam's mayor announced her candidacy for the next election. It was interesting to see the people who showed up..a mix of the "Politico's" in town and folks like me. Some of them arrived in to die for cars..and were dressed in to die for clothes..and then there was me..looking a bit like a "donkey trainer". I love watching people at things like that..they remind me of peacocks..all puffed up strutting around saying "look at me". Silly stuff.

Today I'm heading to Westfield (if it doesn't rain) to see Brian's parents and watch his baseball game. His folks are heading back to Florida tomorrow afternoon. I think they had a nice visit and had a chance to get to know Chelsey and the girls a bit.
I am also going to start making my "DO NOT FORGET" list..for Packing the truck. Last year I forgot the passport..and had to turn around ..swearing a lot ..Do not want that to happen again...

I assume that by now Vic is settling in on Cape Breton. He left a few days back..If you can get to a computer Vic..and read this..know that I wish you safe journey and a wonderful stay. Another news flash recieved from PEI is that Brady Chaisson is now "crawling"... Way to go Brady.. now the fun begins.. Two babies to chase at the fiddle grounds.

So my friends I wish you all a happy "hump day" have yourselves some fun.. Make a few memories..always on the look for pirates who sure know how to ruin a nice day.... and whatever you do remember....

Tuesday..14 more days...

2009-06-16T06:04:00.000-07:00

Last night I headed up to Charlemont to visit my Deerfield buddy Esther and her husband. What a beautiful home they have. It is set right at the base of a ski area so you are looking at the green mountains. Her gardens are to die for..they surround the house..Poppies, iris, daisies, peony's..forget-me-not's.. Just beautiful. They even have a water garden complete with gold fish and Koi and a heated in ground pool!

We sat down to eat at a table in front of large picture window that over looks a meadow and the green mountains beyond. As we were eating a flock of about 8 -10 wild turkey's came right up to the window and 7 deer were feeding in the meadow...Amazing..What a spot..

Today I have to head to Westfield to the Credit Union and the grocery store. Later today Agawam's mayor..(who has caused quite a stir recently) is making an announcement here at the house. So when I get back from my jaunt I have to weed the front gardens and make the house look spiffy for the TV and press. So that is my day..

I heard from several sources yesterday that there is going to be quite an amazing performer at the Fiddle Festival this year. Natalie MacMaster and Mac Morin will be in attendance.. also buzzing that Ashley MacIsac and J P may show their faces..What a weekend. On top of all that Gordie Sampson will be on the island..can we hope...that he will make a surprise visit.. I wonder.. I know I am going to be front row center at the Confed Center for Gordie's show Sunday night.. Would NOT miss that!!!

So my friends you have yourselves a lovely Tuesday.. ..stay safe..have your selves some fun and watch out for pirates. Whatever you do remember..

BREATHE and smile for me

Monday morning and the sun is out

2009-06-15T05:58:00.000-07:00

Today I am heading up to Charlemont, Ma to visit my friend Esther. We worked together at Historic Deerfield and shared lots of laughs.. A few years back she made the journey up to PEI and spent a week at Red Point Campground just down the road from the house in Kingsboro. Since that time our lives have gone through lots of changes some good some terrible. Her husband is now living with the beginning stages of Alzheimer's. Not what had been planned for sure. The dream was to hop into the motor home they purchased and travel. Proving once again my theory..live everyday as if it is your last. Never pass up the chance to have fun, or the chance to make someone else happy.

Yesterday Chelsey and Brian through Brian's folks an amazing 50th anniversary party. We sat down last week and planned it all out. The hall looked beautiful..the food was delicious and most of all Bev and Bob were thrilled. They had the chance to visit with friends and family and celebrate 50 years together. Quite an accomplishment now.

So 15 more days..I am getting really anxious. Can't wait to get away from here. I will miss Chelsey, Brian and the girls of course..but they will be up in August..The bad thing is that Gabe and Amy won't be up ..Thank goodness I have a lap top..Now I can at least keep in touch daily..on line. I am going to try and convince Gabe to get a web cam so we can talk that way too. Anyway got to go and get some work done here. Lots to clean up down stairs.. So my friends you all have yourselves a great week. Stay safe now..watch out for pirates..and remember

50 years..good grief...

2009-06-14T07:25:00.000-07:00

Today Chelsey and Brian are throwing a party for his parents who "celebrate" 50 years together. Quite a milestone these days.

Last night was Morgan's recital..she was so cute. Just danced her heart out as one of the most beautiful butterflies I have ever seen.

This week is going to be a busy one. But the good thing is that in just 16 more days I'll be in KINGSBORO!!!

So I am going to cut this short..and wish you all a happy Sunday..stay safe now..watch out for pirates..and whatever you decide to do remember..

BREATHE and smile for me!!!

Saturday and I am on my new Laptop

It is beautiful today. The SUN IS BACK!!! Morgan has her dance recital tonight.She is pretty excited. Getting her hair done today and feeling pretty special. After the performance every one is coming back here and we are setting up the Hall for tomorrow's anniversary party for Brian's Mom and Dad.

This is so cool I really love typing on this machine. It's so smooth and fast! Last night I played around with it and found some of the features. Windows Vista is a new experience..But once you get the hang of it it's super.

This morning I have to meet with a lady who is having a party here in August. Just have to get everything set in stone before I leave. Richard will be meeting her today so they can talk as the summer goes on.

So I'll close for now and wish VIC a safe trip to Cape Breton and everyone else a happy Saturday. Stay safe,be happy and watch out for pirates.. Remember whatever you do

BREATHE and smile for me

High Speed comes to Kingsboro...

Last night I got my new Laptop. Went with the powerful HP..with all the bells and whistles. It kinda scares me but I'll get the hang of it before I land on PEI. Yesterday I contacted BellAliant and they are coming on July 2 to hook up the internet for me. YES!!! No more frantic trips to the library...and the community center..

It is still gray and damp here..although right at the moment the sun is trying to peek through. I hope we get some sun soon or people are going to start getting very cranky as well as moldy.

This weekend is going to be a crazy one.. In fact the week ahead is crazy too. Tonight Morgan has the dress rehearsal for her dance show.. Tomorrow night the recital. After the program everyone is coming back here we are decorating for the anniversary party on Sunday. Monday I am going up to Charlemont to visit my friend Esther, Tuesday there is a political event here..Wednesday day heading up to Blandford to visit my friends the Darrows.. Next Sunday is the big father's day show in Hamp with Gabe's band "The Worlds Greatest Dad's" Soooooo It is busy here.

I think I have gotten all the leg work done for paying bills on line and such.. Time will tell..I am only about 2 miles ahead of the car now..with my laptop under my arm.. LOL

Today I am spending the afternoon with Sam again.. He is getting so darn cute. Laughing all the time..and kicking those chubby legs like crazy. He is so funny. I told hava that she will have to get a webcam so I can see him on line this summer. I'm going to miss the little guy..

So my friends..I wish you all a happy Friday.. Stay safe and happy..watch out for pirates..and remember

BREATHE and smile for me..
