Pace on Earth

Gypsies In The Palace

A sure sign of summer is when the fan section at Home Hardware sits empty and sold out and you need to peel your sheets off you when you wake up in the morning. Yes, the stinkin' hot weather has arrived and with it one of the other sure signs of summer - home children of another kind - the expat 'tonians who come home each summer to get their fix. I like to call them sunbirds. There is usually a steady stream of them and this year is no different.

It started a couple of weeks ago with an all-too-short visit from The Hambone. His trip was overlapped by Jonny's arrival and they both made it out to my last Spruce game. Doherty arrived that night and have already convinced him to extend his stay (although it might have had something to do with his new boat). Nicki arrived last Saturday and he is also here for an extended stay - back to school (I have my fingers crossed that his return to school is just like Rodney Dangerfield's). Marlene also joined Jonny and we all met up at Slippy's for a soiree last Saturday.

Looking a little farther down the road, we expect to see little Davey J at some point in July and the whole Frontin family as well. There will surely be some other flyers and let's not forget Geoff and Lindsay who arrive home for Geoff's back to school adventure at the end of the month. Good times in the Maritimes....

Pace out.
