The wintery pic in the previous post is the house of my Aunt Joyce and Uncle Vernon. It is in Hampshire, PEI, not far from where my dad grew up.
In fact, less the snow, it will be the site for an annual family picnic held this coming weekend on Victoria day. Victoria day is in honour of Queen Victoria's birthday and is the symbolic birthday of the reigning sovereign. It's a major holiday weekend that raises the starting flag for summer activities, much like the USA's Memorial Day.
ps. As reported previously, Bryguy and Miss Cheryl are engaged. Miss C's fam are visiting PEI this summer and last night was a "reconnaissance dinner" to learn about the sights etc. A hilarious evening... Kudos to my sister who wrote a thorough, descriptive list of must-see spots.
Though it can be wretched during other times of the year, summer on PEI is typically in the 70s F and sunny. Lately, it is filled with festivals, music, and places to dine outside. It is way more hip now than when I lived there...
