where we watched the play Robin Hood.
Somethings are hard to put into words but maybe pictures help you experience our wonderful day.
My heart would like to express with gratitude the love that surrounded me!
We meet Carol and Kim there after first joining a wedding at another old house and next driving to the beach. This is when cell phones come in handy. We are there to enjoy, and indeed we did. a play written and produces by a exceptional group of young people. This was a story about Robin Hood. It starts will his three merry men and women waiting to be hanged.
Before rescuing them Robin is caught and is only set free by the mean King.
He is sent to a distant place but along the way bumbling along in their quest thinking they are going to be set free when they find a princess for the King to marry. We actually take a tour through different garden patches with wild flowers and vegetables and bushes and trees.
It was a perfect day sunny with a little. Kim carried folding chairs for us as we moved in among the different paths where characters would jump out to kidnap the outlaws. This had to be done in a way not to look like it was the king's doing because Robin was so popular will all the poor people.
Carol has her new camera taking pictures too.
Great fun.
There was dancing and singing and lots of laughter! Robin and Maid Marianne.
Before you know it time to travel on to Carol and Panteli's to have a birthday celebration for me.
Carol had invited a wonderful friend, Joyce Manary whose husband had been a controller with Dad. He has passed away. Her daughter Carol was there too as she and Carol had gone to school together. Yes there is one candle on the cake which I blew out to the tune of Happy Birthday! Lots of storytelling and trying to remember names from the past.
Yes, sometimes dad and I need to step out of our comfort zone knowing we need the love and companionship of others.

A play in a garden setting that moves from place to place, what a novel idea! I am so glad your family invited you to see it and carried chairs for you to sit at the different spots. They are so loving and kind aren't they? You are blessed, but I don't need to tell you that, do I? Then a lovely dinner with old friends and family! Wow.
Nice photos Beth....so neat to see the costumes on the actors.
We have a lot of family here today and tomorrow....Gerald Austen, Carl's brother-in-law passed away quite unexpectantly and his funeral is tomorrow. Sadly he and his cousins from England had planned for them to come for a visit to Canada and now they are here to attend his funeral. They will still have a holiday here and travel to all the interesting Canadian sightseeing places. Today was a visiting day with nieces and nephews and our special Granddaughter...Carly. I imagine there will be lots of that tomorrow too, after the funeral.
The berry season is one of the best ever, with loads of berries all over the place. I gave our Granddaughter a container of blueberries and you would have thought I gave her gold....she was so excited. There are so many people out picking I am wondering what they will leave for nature...the birds depend heavily on them as well as chipmunks, bears etc.
The cottagers often encroach on private property without getting permission....they even pick right up to my garden. Roxie can pick here anytime! She is respectful of nature.
Well that is my news for today. I am so glad you had a lovely day.
Love, Nancy
