Visited by different kind of Blue Bird

The last couple of days I had visitors again. This time it was the youngest "boondocking" couple I have ever encountered!

Steven and Lindsey, (check out their beautiful web page), are from Oregon, came up the East Coast on an extended vacation before turning back home.

 When they pulled in with their Blue Bird, I thought for a moment, UHOH - how will that work out. But Steven is a very good driver and it was not a problem at all, neither when they backed out this morning.

Steven and Lindsey are good "boondocking material"!

We had some nice chats about this and that. I got the impression that these two have gotten the taste for this uncomplicated way of travelling, and there is a good chance that they, when finally getting into our age, will end up doing what we do every winter. 

The weather was warm and nice and since I had the day off work we toured the island together.

The lighthouse got a new walk way and bench to sit and enjoy the view

Look at this cab claw! That must have been a grandfather crab!

Colourful boats in the harbour.

Reflections

I am glad I got to know Steve and Lindsey. Thanks for visiting, and who knows, maybe our ways cross again somewhere in the future!

Now I am waiting what "Arthur" will do. There is a chance that we get a visit of the first hurricane of the season. I hope not. It would damage my beautiful peonies!!

Visitors from Texas

Tuesday I got visitors from Texas. 

Fellow "boondockers" we visited while being down there in January. Valinda, Gary and Meggie. They were accompanied by Fred, a handsome Shar-Pei-Labrador.

 They parked their camper here for the night.

"Nice to see you again, Molly!"

They are great pals. He loves Molly and she likes him too. They even shared their bones to chew on.

It was great to have them all around for company.

We toured the Island, and visited the Roosevelt Cottage;  

went rock-hunting on the beach, shopped for souvenirs and tasted a local fish supper,

  while the dogs waited patiently at home.

All in all they concluded: it had a great time!

It was sad seeing them leave today, but there plan to visit other places in Canada before they will return back to Texas. 

They promised they would come back, and was treated with a whole heap of Mint-Melts to sweeten the "farewell." :))

You are welcome anytime!
