Day 3: Newfoundland

Today is Julie and Joey's wedding and I'm pretty sure the entire town is shutting down for the big event! My entire family is here now and so we've sort of taken over the town. WE didn't really do up last night (I avoided what's called Sour Newfie, which is half a shot of sour puss and half shot of Screech)...We're saving ourselves for tonight. Wanda, the woman who runs the Oceanview here is also at the wedding and she hasn't been able to party with us yet so she said she's saving herself for tonight too. Last night we were at Westside Charlie's. It's just "down the road" from here (as everything seems to be). Anyway, here is a picture of the happy couple:


And the aunts and uncles - Mary and DJs kids. We had t-shirts made for them two years ago at our family reunion in Cape Breton. It pictures the six of them in 1982 at the last reunion. There have been few times when they can all get together. Half of them live in Nova Scotia but the other half don't. 

Cousin Jaime and I giving ourselves a reminder of what we may need to get home after we have too much fun at the wedding - a wheel chair! We're hoping to be able to stand long enough to dance - maybe even try to remember the Highland Fling. So, as I look out to the sea, I'm signing off thankful for family and good times.
