SEVEN FRIENDS GO TO PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND 1998


This is the third story about our friendship with the couples
from Windsor and Chatham

We split into two groups
The Sarnia/Chatham van
and
the Windsor car

Our friend Mike had a lead on a little brown cottage
The Windsor car was taking a side trip
to Quebec the first night
The Sarnia/Chatham van
was heading straight to
PEI
so we had the 'privilage'
of tracking down the cottage
sight unseen



Here we are enjoying the morning sun
We look pretty comfortable
HOWEVER
Without a lie
This is the story!
Did we find the little brown cottage?
We sure did
It was situated in the middle of a field
The field was a very popular place
especially
WITH THE LOCAL COWS
You're right
COWS
and
LOTS OF FLIES

We didn't need an alarm clock to wake us in the morning
We had cows moowing right outside our windows and door!

I really must set the stage

We entered the cottage
Checked out the bedrooms
You know how it goes
The first person or couple through
the door wants to get
the best room!

To the best of my recollection
we both had a boxspring
but
no mattress
There was no choosing the best room!!!!!
The cottage was sparcely furnished

Not quiet what we expected

We must have had running water
as I see Janette
washed her hair
 She has a towel wrapped around her head

WE MADE AN EXECUTIVE DECISION

We would not spend another night there
On to Montague we went in search
of a cottage that would
'house' seven adults




We found the perfect place
Here are Mike, Jack, Joe and Janette eating breakfast the next morning




It didn't take us long
to find the ocean
Anita (Mugan) Dianne
and Donna Mae
enjoying the surf




Jack holding all the books
I think they found a used book store



Mike and Mugan strolling
down the
local main street




The friends....cute little grins!!!




Another day we toured
Anne of Green Gables
I wasn't sure if Ann had an e
then I remembered
how the story went!
'Anne with an E'




Ice cream cones
and


Drinks

WHAT FUNNY PICTURES
FUNNY HA-HA THAT IS!




There's that Mr. Finn
cuddling up to Mugan again!!!!!




We visited a lobster supplier
Joe had ordered lobster from this supplier
and had it shipped back home for a
Rotary function




The girls made a trip to the local laundramat
Even while traveling we still had to
do laundry




We searched out the
singing sands
The sand really did sing
but you had to dance in order
for the sand to sing!!!!!




A motley crew
Time for a down east lunch




One lovely evening we took a little cruise
to check out the seals




The men were having some kind of a conversation
Don't know what it was all about???




Our last evening in PEI
We paid big bucks for dinner
It was a tasting menu at the
Inn on the Bay of
Good Fortune
We even got to go into the kitchen


What a great holiday
We all had the best time
We have wonderous memories
of time spent in PEI









Morning coffee on a deck
Where, I do not remember?

  1. Ah...Prince Edward Island...such a beautiful wee island. These pictures brought back memories for me as well of our visit there. We also toured the downtown in Charlottetown and took in the play of Anne of Green Gables. Such red, red earth and the Atlantic ocean. Memories, friends and good times to treasure always. The brown cottage sounds like a cattle man's dream....( nightmare ) that was funny !!!

  2. I don't remember ever seeing those pictures, what a wonderful group of friends...including the rest of the clan that did not go on that trip. You don't want time to keep going...
