That was Wednesday. Grand-daughter Stephanie planned a trip to St Johns Newfoundland to attend the wedding of friends.
Great grand-daughter Cheyanne has a grandmother, resident of Corner Brook Newfoundland.
Stephanie decided her niece should accompany her on the trip.
It is to be a camping trip of two weeks.
Cheyanne lives in Penetanguishine with her family.
On Tuesday afternoon with her mother and two sisters, Abigail and seven week old Emma Cheyanne arrived at my house. Packed and ready to leaver at four a.m. ,for the flight to St John.
Theresa , maternal grandmother came home after work.
Aunt Heather, master packer and veteran camper, came down from Newmarket with Andy her husband to visit and pack gear for a flight, a wedding and a camping trip of two weeks ,on a rock, several thousand miles distant , in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.
My deck was a scene of great activity.
Tickets had to be collected for the flight. Legal permission had to be documented from both parents for Cheyanne to leave the province.
The dog had to be taken for his own expedition.
Skinny dipping after dark was part of the adventure.
Finally theywer asleep.
And then they were gone
But not really.
Texting with photos keeps us in touch.
They are camped in Pepys campground in the city until after the wedding. The Newfie friends have lent them cooking gear.
They organized a bonfire the first night and fed them their fill of mussels and lobster cooked right there on the beach.
The wedding is today. they will be on their way after that.
Two weeks is a long time for two girls to be on the road . I know very little about the place.
But I've heard and encountered the legendary kindness..
I look forward to the tales they will have to tell.
I
They will be just fine.
