July 2012 trip to Yarmouth, Nova Scotia:  Pesident Leavitt asked us to travel to Yarmouth and check out the elder's apartment there. We had a lovely 2 days. We left in time to go thru rain coming home. Yarmouth is about 4-5 hours from Dartmouth where we are staying.
Looking across the harbor to Cape Forchu Lightstation

We were not the only folks to enjoy a beautiful day at the beach

Life and death can be found when the tide is all the way out.

Beautiful Queen Ann's Lace growing on the cliffs.

That evening we went out in the Veinots' canoe for a lovely ride.

Living on a lake, the lucky folks.

This picture of Veronica and David  on the canoe. We women talked and watched the  scenery while the men rowed. This picture is taken over my shoulder completely blind to the Veinotts- not bad!!!!


God's creations are so very beautiful and peaceful here.

More life on the lake

back on shore safe and sound.

I know this unhooks, what am I doing wrong?

The Veinots have a great dog, she is shy around new people, but of course she and Craig got along great! Me- she just stared at.


This plaque was in the bedroom that we stayed in. I love the thought.
