THE MONTH OF SEPTEMBER

We have been pretty busy this month

Have decided to go back through my folders

and pull out some photos from

THE MONTH OF SEPTEMBER

Labour Day weekend we had another storm

on the island

The ol' willow tree by the ferry shack

split in two

Just a little tidbit of information here.....

My sister-in-law Heather's Father

proposed to her Mother under this tree

Heather's Mother is now 94 years old

so

you know that was a number of years ago!!!!!

Our son Curtis was home on holiday for a few weeks

We went down to Chatham to have lunch with our niece Susan

at the William St. Cafe

Here is our old kitchen table that graced my parent's cottage

which we lovingly referred to as

THE SHACK

The table then graced our home for many years

before Joe cut it down and used it as a 'coffee' table

at our cottage

When we sold our home we had to make room for

College Street furniture

so

the table then found a new home

at

THE WILLIAM STREET CAFE

MANY A CONVERSATION HAS TAKEN PLACE AROUND THIS TABLE

MANY A FAMILY MEMBER AND FRIENDS

HAVE SAT AROUND THIS TABLE

IF TABLES COULD TALK!!!!!!!!

Cousins

Remember the story about Joe and cottage friends

trying to move the big log????

Well............

A local fellow was over on our side of the island repairing a breakwall

He tied his boat up to our dock while he and his 'men' worked on the barge

As a favour he moved the log down river

Hurrah...............

Now we don't have to worry about the ice moving the log

and having it hit our dock this winter

Now this is what you would call

one big yacht

I was  talking on the phone to my friend Jan

when I saw it going by

'Oh My Gosh'

I said

I have to go and get a picture

Call ya back!!!!!!

The name of the yacht is

Blue Moon

which is 198 feet long!

When Stephanie was young she had a best friend named Lisa

Lisa pracially lived at our cottage during the summer

Now

Lisa and her husband have a cottage on the island

Pretty neat I think

We had a couple of fishermen out front

Their line got caught on our lift

There's Joe to the rescue!!

The bench

Twice now this guy has come for an evening visit

After the fest yesterday we went for a drive 

We were down by the mouth of the Mystic River

along Long Island Sound

 Alice and David wanted to show us the Gingerbread house

which is in the town of Noank

Down the road I spotted these jeans hanging

out to dry

WE DIDN'T GET TO FOXWOOD TODAY TO SEE DI'S DRESSES

HOWEVER

WE'LL BE THERE TOMORROW WITH BELLS ON!!!
