J9's Property

Well, I have the first batch of photo's back from our trip downeast, and I have to say I'm quite pleased! My favorites have been posted on my online scrapbook. So far, I have photos for the wedding, and the first part of the trip up until our drive back across Newfoundland. (Those of you who are my friends on facebook can see most of the photos on my profile.) The shots from the ferry until New Brunswick are currently being developed, and the last shots of the Bay of Fundy are still in the camera.

The trip was amazing! I wish we could have stayed longer in some places - particularly Newfoundland. We really didn't get enough time there, I would have liked to have spent another day in St. John's, and I wish we could have swung off the Trans-Canada Highway to see more of the little places along the way. Unfortunately, our time was dictated by the ferry schedule, and you have to reserve your ferry ahead of time.

Next time we go downeast, I'd really like to get to PEI! We didn't make it this time, we simply ran out of time! We saw Cape Breton, and drove the Cabot Trail, but we didn't get down the "foot" of Nova Scotia (ie. down to Halifax and Yarmouth). We'd really need to do it in 2 trips: Newfoundland one trip, the rest of the Maritimes another. I really hope we get that chance in the years to come!

In the mean time, I've gained some wonderful memories, and some great photos (if I do say so myself!)

Well, I don't have the Down East photos back from the developer yet, but if you go to my online "scrapbook", you can see some shots I took in Algonquin Park this past July. We went canoeing very early one morning, and I tell ya, I was sure glad I had my camera along!

Yes, indeedee! I'm back, after a very long absence from the blogging world! And yes, I do have reasons - we actually just got back from a 2-week trip down east. We drove to St. John's, Newfoundland and back! I'm waiting for the photos to be developed, then I'll post a few on my photo blog for all to see!

Meanwhile, it's time to get to work! Lots to do around here, if we have a hope of getting the house listed this year. (needs to be done next month at the latest!!) Can we do it? Well, I guess we'll have to see. But the prospect of another year in this city does not exactly have me excited... At least the kitchen is pretty much done. Just a few pieces of trim to go, but we can get that done while we're also doing trim, painting, repairs, etc. in the rest of the house.

Here's hoping!.....
