Colleen took us to The Culinary Institute in downtown Charlottetown for lunch today. It was fabulous. The students make gourmet meals that they serve to the College students and to the public. Mmmmm.
Jim and I had the Atlantic salmon. Colleen and her Mom had pork shishkabobs. I especially enjoyed the view. The dining room faces the boardwalk that runs along the shore. We watched the seagulls diving over the stormy waters that dashed against the snow covered banks. There was a grey mist hovering over the water that lent an ethereal feeling to the scene. There is something mesmerising about seascapes for me that seems to calm my soul.
Jake had his Grammy read his bedtime story as she leaves tomorrow for Calgary. Kylie snuggled close to Grandpa as she did her `homework`which was reading our loud.
I was thinking about our families who came across the pond in the 1800`s and early 1900s. They had no instant means of communication that we enjoy today. I am so thankful that even though I now have family living on both the Atlantic and Pacific shores, I can reach them very quickly. That is my thankful thought for the day.
Cheers from Donna
Sounds like a day I'd love as well.
ReplyDeleteThe water soothes me also. Enjoy mom.
