ReplyDeleteThe photos are so great that it makes me want to go...and I was there! Next time we will sample DeeDee's at the Peggy's Cover location.
ReplyDeleteSeems like you got a lot into and out of your four day trip!
ReplyDeleteWe sure did John ... and somehow did it all at a lovely leisurely pace with plenty of relaxation mixed in.
ReplyDeleteAlready planning my next visit ;-)
Hooray! Wonderful to see Halifax and environs through your eyes:) So many places still to to see. It was terrific meeting you and maybe this summer you will be back again and we can have more of a visit OR I might plan a visit to your neck of the woods. One never knows.
ReplyDeleteWhat's that prickly thing with the beautiful brown seed???
ReplyDeleteWelcome back. Miss D says NEVER leave again.
Ahhhh.... what a spectacular adventure with a true friend. Welcome home and hope your petting hand is falling off. Nice to see the ocean! Mom heads to sunny, hot, sticky, hot, Florida today... I hear she will see the ocean too. My tail is NOT wagging.
ReplyDeleteCan you stop by and take me for a walk?
