Hole In The Wall, Grand Manan Island, NB

Welcome Back!

This week I'm highlighting more photos from the Hole In The Wall area of Grand Manan. These include views from the area, which include, rock formations, fishing weirs, the ferry and the Swallowtail Lighthouse on a foggy afternoon! If you look closely at these, you will see a kayaker, a seal and a cormorant.

Sorry, I didn't post last week, I was under the weather on Sunday...tired out, achy, headache and sore throat. I thought that I was getting the dreaded cold that has been going around my family. Kevin got it Friday night! I have been fighting it all week as I've had the various symptoms, but I haven't actually got the full-blown illness yet!

Well, what have I been up to? Last Saturday, the girls and I headed to Ottawa for a surprise birthday party for my friend Anne, who turned 50 this week! She was surprised! It was a great day, but very long as we didn't get home til midnight!

This week at school went fairly fast as it was a short week. There was a PA day on Friday, so I got Thursday off as well! Yay! Accounting is very uninteresting...at least to me! :-) I will hopefully write the exam tomorrow and be done with it, I hope!

On Thursday, Brooke and I headed to the TO Zoo, as I had some coupons to use by the end of June. It was kind of a disappointing visit as it was very hot, which I don't like at all and there were a lot of school kids there! Sigh! A few of the animals that I wanted to see were not on display and the ones that were, were not very photogenic...sleeping and laying at the back of their enclosures! SIGH..oh well, you can't have a good visit every time, I guess!

Friday, Keturah and I went shopping as she was looking for a dress for her graduation. She found one! Saturday, we went hiking at Lemoine's Point. Didn't see too many birds, which was good, because we didn't take any seeds! We did see a lot of squirrels and chipmunks!

Studying and house stuff today! Have a great week!

Swallowtail Lighthouse, Grand Manan Island, NB

Swallowtail Lighthouse, Grand Manan Island, NB

Welcome Back! This time I have some photos of a beautiful area and the most photographed on Grand Manan Island! This is the Swallowtail Lighthouse and the landmark of the Island. It's such a beautiful area....walk down a flight of stairs (going down is the easy part :-)) and then follow the trail to the lightkeepers house and all the trails around that lead to the edge of the cliffs. There are also benches where you can sit and watch the ferry, the kayakers, the seals and fishing weirs! That's what I hope to do when I retire there! :-)

Today's photos include the lighthouse, some views from the trail down to the lighthouse, some kayakers going by, a fishing weir and Long Island ( I think!) in the background. These photos make me want to pack and go there right now! :-)

Well, this week went by quite fast..I say that every week! At School, I finished Dreamweaver II and wrote the exam and now I am doing a Web Practical Simulation course, which includes a little bit of everything we've learned so far...lots of fun!

Friday, I spent most of the day working on my own small business website stuff...there's still lots to do! :-)

This week/weekend we've been busy spring cleaning and Kevin's been hard at work putting in laminate flooring in all the upstairs bedrooms. So our house is more of a mess than it usually is! :-) I'll be glad when it's finished!

Today I went to an open house for Sunset Gourmet Foods. I am doing some website/social media work for a consultant in Kingston, so she invited me to come and try the new products! Yummy!

Have a great week!
