Emotions are rather mixed though, Katie Dicker passed away on Friday morning, Fran had visited Katie in the nursing station just hours before, the funeral was at 2 yesterday.
Katie was very good at traditional crafts, especially seal skin boots, she made the most fantastic water proof black boots.
Our thoughts go out to her family.
The day being so nice we were thinking of going blue berry picking in the morning, with very little wind we decided against that.
Later around 6 the wind was up quite nicely so Fran asked if I would go up the hill with her. What with all the fuss over bears this year Fran is reluctant, as I’m sure others are, to go up alone.
We were only up there a short time; even with the wind the black flies gave us some trouble. On the way up we came across three people who were in shorts and t shirts, man the flies must have had a good time on them.
We managed about 2 liters of berries, they are just so plentiful and the berry bush seems higher than usual. I made a comment to Fran we almost need rakes like they use on the Island.
Fran had a big bowl of berries last evening, but still plenty for a few breakfasts.
We don’t have pancakes that often but I decided to give them a go this morning. Cooked up a bit of bacon, made the batter and rested it in the fridge for a while, and presto, some very nice blue berry filled multi grain pan cakes topped with home made bake apple syrup. Who needs fusion and reductions in high priced restaurants eh? Not that we have restaurants of any kind.
I always have breakfast in front of the computer, the slide in key board tray is handy, never had an, accident to date.Our Granddaughter heads out to college in Goose Bay today. Aimee should not have too much trouble being away from home, she knows GB well, has friends and some family there, plus the traveling she has done with us should lighten the cultural shock thingy. The courses are a pre university year, a good idea I think.
