Moving on down the road.....

It's map time again.....  We left  Cape Breton Island around 9:30 yesterday....after an easy 5 hour drive

we arrived at a scenic area west of Halifax called Peggy's Cove.   We will stay here a week before heading north to Prince Edward Island.

While at our campsite this past two weeks, we saw a constant parade of family dogs.....I regret not getting a picture of each and every one of them.....instead of postcard-like pictures, it would be a blog of special family dogs.   In the states, we see a lot of little white dogs...mostly Bichons or Lasa's .....or the large and hairy....the retreivers, the labs and one day, TWO newfoundlands.....how long would you have to clean to get rid of all that hair every day ?????   Camped across from us was this elderly statesman,  Max....he had a look of many years and much wisdom.    Also, parked near us on weekends only was a carbon copy of our Laddie......the haircut, the stockiness and the face were the same but he was not friendly and I preferred not to bother him with my camera.  (our Laddie of 17 years...a Westie..was a people dog).

So, we are camped across the road from this view. (this was taken last evening but it is not much brighter today)   We headed out to breakfast this morning and 

it seems that there is a Kodak moment around every bend. ......   But today, the fog looks persistent and it is chilly so that will wait for another day.

It seems strange to be back in civilization with major stores, a Costco, Subway and McDonalds....AND we have TV again.   After all those weeks without it, it was positively luxurious to watch the Olympics last night.    I hope I don't get lulled back into it instead of the good reads on my list.

In family news, Becca has left her Fairy Godmother wand and pixie dust behind and will head back to college shortly.   We'll miss having her in Florida.    Her brother Alex, the one with all the broken bones and pain from lacrosse, gave that up to be a caddie for the summer.    He's an excellent golfer and was able to walk among the stars while carrying the bags at Cherry Creek CC in Denver.....aside from the generous tips, he rubbed shoulders with John Elway and Peyton Manning..........AND, he was selected as their CADDY OF THE YEAR ....   Way to go Alex.    We are soooo proud of all of our grandkid's wonderful achievements in their daily life but every  once in awhile, one of them steps out of the box to really WOW us !!
