Great, super great !!!!
I had two blogs to catch up on. Been down watching whales in the St. Lawrence and spending time in St. Andrews-by-the-Sea. The two weeks were spent camping with Niece and Nephew. I would have rather been boating; but camping is good too for meeting interesting folks and story telling. Cheers, M&M
