Art Show and Hurricane Bill

I'm late getting this up on the blog. Friday was a busy day including medical appointments in Halifax, but we did have a nice noon lunch on the Dartmouth waterfront. It was a beautiful day; nothing like sitting by the water eating one's lunch. Saturday included errands, coping with the heat and getting ready for Hurricane Bill. Judy, it is not a good weekend for your show. Hope the opening went well on Friday; sorry, we could not attend. I urge readers to support Art and Jules which has opened up a new venue for local artists. One can also see Judy's art on her blog: http://www.judyarsenault-artist.blogspot.com

Back to the waiting games as Bill moves along the coast.

To the Classes '09

Friday Night - a Time of Celebration!

Congratulations to the Classes '09 at the NSTC (and the Normal College)Reunion. Imagine! I had three TC class groups there: 1969, 79 and 89. It's a happy time. They look so young. They're happy to be reuniting with friends and recalling happy times in Truro and at NSTC . Exchanging news about careers, children, families. Grads seem glad to see faculty and staff who turn out. It's a welcoming place.

Lenore Zann was guest speaker and she did a fine job. She is such a positive person and her dreams for the Normal College building struck a fine note with those in attendance.

Thanks to those who do the background work that makes such an event happen. It's a time I enjoy. Glad to see former students and colleagues. Cheers!

Half a Century of Cars

My caregiver, Neil, bought his first car in 1956, his second year of teaching. It was a 1954 Chev. When he got married, he and Jean bought a new 1958 Pontiac. There have been a series of cars since. The only one I don't have a picture of is a green 1982 Ford Fairmont Futura. Hope you enjoy the video and I hope it has uploaded successfully. I don't trust audio and video formats.
