The Roundup

I've been saying for weeks now that I still had another blog post in me about the trip. This is it.  There are a few things at home that are keeping our Maritime love alive. For example:

There is Scott in the left background, wearing his new Michael Smith apron. On the right is a red house made of stone from Newfoundland. Heather and Paul brought it back for us after their trip there because it reminded them of our place. We saw more of this artist's work in Newfoundland, and we were so tickled that we already had a piece of the rock. It sparks joy for us because of who gave it to us, that it's from one of our favourite provinces, and that it resembles our house here.  I just love it. 

Then there's this letter we got in the mail. 

So if you're tempted, we've got $200 toward your trip.  It's a drop in the Fogo Island Inn bucket, but my god, we'll use it if you won't, because we need to go back. 

Lastly, unrelated and yet totally connected to the trip, two of my favourite bits of Canadiana:
