Forget the sun

I am not waiting for the sunshine any more. We just got back from an overnight trip down the French shores. Grammy has a friend that lives there that I have been dying to meet. I have heard so many stories about this woman over the years and I finally got the chance to meet her. She is a psychic, fortune teller, astronomer a few of the many titles I have heard her being referred as. She is definitely an interesting woman. I told Grammy that I would read this woman's book of life for sure. The French shore is gorgeous! It was pouring rain the first day we were there but regardless of the clouds and rain I enjoyed the sights. The houses are so old but I just love the heritage homes and the history behind them. We stayed in a hotel that could easily have passed for a bed and breakfast it was so cozy. The view from my hotel window was a the ocean waves smashing into shore it was really great. We spent the day visiting and shopping. There is the store Frenchys I can't easily explain how this store works it is a cross between a thrift store and a bargain store...I think. But anyways I LOVED shopping in there it was awesome totally my kinda shopping. Treasure shopping is what I like to call it. The morning we left we made a couple of stops before heading back. First order of business was the lobster pound. Two fresh lobsters picked for my eating pleasure. We cooked them last night and let me tell you mmmmmmmmmmmmmm so freaking fresh. Second buy and try Rappie pie. We found the little nook in the cranny that was selling Rappie pie in bulk freshly made that morning. I don't really know how to explain Rappie pie. Its an Acadia thing I suppose made from potatoes and chicken. $6 a pie and well it was pretty tasty. Third take pictures in the fog none the less. Lastly say goodbye to Eta and then we were off back home.
I started another book since I have been here and I am already half done it I dove into that while we were driving. I would have to say road trips have to be my favorite time to read. I am reading "Water for Elephants". I am actually reading a series right now and just finished the second book but I am taking a break in between books and reading this one.
  Kaia was a travelling champion on our trip she hardly made a peep while we were on the road and of course she was sooo good for me during shopping, visiting and eating. That little girl sure grabs a lot of attention from people thought let me tell you. The oohs and aahhhs we were getting. I am still amazed at how much she is changing her energy, curiosity and everything is totally increasing. She definitely well on her way to crawling she just needs to figure out how to get her knees up.
Today's adventure involves going to Aunt Marilyn's house she lives on the beach.....me and Kaia are determined to dip our fingers into the Atlantic before we leave this province.
  Tomorrow we are going to Halifax....shopping,seafood and sights. Tomorrow is suppose to be sunny but rain or shine we are going.
I am missing  my husband I wish he were here but I am not missing Elkford.
