Day Trip

23 days of rain.  I just checked the weather...rain everyday until next Friday!!!!  ARGHHHHH!!  We have had 2 coudy but dry days...I went outside to trim the brush, and got eaten alive by black flies.  Will I ever be able to go outside again?  Soon it will be horse flies and June bugs, oh those things are gross!  But I will take them over torrents of rain!  This rain does not help anxiety and depression.

We fit in a little day trip last weekend, here are some highlights........photos courtesy of my son Jeremy....


Meet Sue, the world's most complete T-Rex skeleton.  She was on loan to the Museum of Natural history here in Halifax, and arrived from Kuwait, now she is going to Atlanta.  I think she was happy to see us, but she sure looked hungry!

Look at those tiny arms, really good for nothing but hanging your hat on!

Devin and I with the moose.  I love moose!!! 

Almost as much as I love ravens!  I know there is a nest around my house somewhere and I would love to have a raven for a pet!

This is one huge lobster dinner!

Octopus for sale at Pete's Frootique... uhh, no thanks...

Shopping with Robyn...did you see I am wearing a pair of Chuck Tayler high tops??  My girlie bought them for me for Mother's Day!  I even wear them out in public with a skirt!!  It is so much fun to embarrasss my kids!

Looking to the Navy dockyards in Halifax from Dartmouth on a gloomy day.

2 container ships approaching... sorry for the blurriness, it was quite misty and foggy!

There's the tug boat in the middle.

Jackpot!! Jeremy found a clay marble and a glass one, once used as ballast in ships.

More posts to come soon!
