Day 6.
The day dawned beautiful, warm and bright.
All the older children seemed to pair off or get up in groups with the Hodder’s children. This left Keara, Keigan Michael and I to spend some time with my dear friend Eva. Eva and I chatted, at their place, for quite a while, then decided to go down to the Mastodon Ridge tourist spot. I had heard they were suppose to be having a wonderful sale, and I wanted to check it out.
Keigan Michael, at the last minute, decided to stay and have some big brother time with Corbin. He’d really been missing his brother, as Corbin had spent most of his time at the Hodders with Blake and his fiancee.
Keara, Eva and I headed out for a girl’s afternoon out! We went shopping and did some laughing, sharing and crying, and back to more laughing! Eva bought me this beautiful pendent made from sterling silver and Amethyst (my absolute favourite gem stone). I was so touched by her thoughtfulness and affection and love for me.
After we finished up at the store, we decided to nip over to Elizabeth’s place. Elizabeth is Dave’s sister, so Eva’s sister-in-law, and she has been my close friend, as well, for 17 years. We all spent a wonderful afternoon, on into the evening, sharing, and talking and laughing and just being girls again. It was an awesome way to spend our last full day with our dear ones in that part of Nova Scotia.
Back to the Hodder’s and off to bed for everyone. It had to be an early nigh for all, as Dave and everyone had to be up early for church in the morning. Dave is the pastor, after all.
