Cam's son Oliver invited us to a show at the Legend Hall on Saturday night. A quartet, 3 females & 1 male, performed songs from the war years - big band era. Andrew sisters tunes & mom's favorite Frankie Laine some of the highlights. We all enjoyed it. There was a 97 year old veteran who was at Normandy. He & dad were introduced to one of the "Andrew Sisters". The older Canadian vet was quite enamored with her, to which dad commented, "typical Frenchman!"
Rainy Sunday. Dad showed Dan & I his old stomping grounds. Grandmere Vautour's house is gone but Cam's house is right next door. With only minor trespassing, we drove to the old quarry site. Grandpere Vautour's farm was 3 miles down a dirt road. Evidentally Shediac is a summer destination. The beaches are beautiful!
Rita's potato salad was superb side to these 1.5 lb lobsters from Bay of Fundy. OMGosh, what a feast.
Farewell to Shediac cousins this morning and already thinking about a return trip. Much more to see in New Brunswick and Maritime region. Crossed the border around noon only to turn North and return to Canada to visit Campobello Island where FDR & family had a summer home.
34 room cottage?
In Ellsworth, Maine for Halloween. Will visit with Lou Horvath in Bangor tomorrow then on to Freeport, home to LL Bean.
