Yvonne Weir and Brenda Allen returned from a wonderful journey to Nova
Scotia, Canada on Wednesday the 19 th . They traveled by coach to Prince Edwards Island, Cape Breton, New Brunswick, etc. Yvonne reports, “The highlands were beautiful and the oceans were, too. We also went on a successful whale watching tour and a sailboat ride. We especially enjoyed the Maritime museum and the Maud Lewis Art exhibit in Halifax. We took a cab to Fairview cemetery to see the graves of 130 Titanic victims. It was very moving to see all the graves, which just had numbers because they could not identify them. We are busy planning our next adventure.”
Yvonne adds, “While I was gone the army worms and the wild hogs tore up our grass and pasture. Wesley kept Robert busy.” On Friday night they met with Dacy, Elise, and Eli, Eben, Destri, Mena, Emmy, and Nico, as well as Dustin and Natalie, to celebrate Destri’s birthday. She comments, “We met at Dodie’s Cajun Diner in Rockwall and I am sure it will be an unforgettable birthday, as we ate outside and got a good shower from the big rain.”
