We went for dinner at my aunt Elaine's house tonight. Normally Christmas is the big family get-together but since my uncle and aunt were down from Kentville we planned an impromptu BBQ. Due to work schedules and living away, I turned out to be the only one there from "the next generation", as my Uncle Greg (my father's oldest sibling) put it. It was a pretty fun time. We cracked a bottle, or two, of red and had a wonderful time catching up on "the kids", my plans after going back up north, trips and future travels. Aunt Elaine (my father's older sister) and her hubby, Uncle Doug, had beautiful, huge t-bone steaks and some yummy salads. The meal was delicious and we stayed until rather late talking. Uncle Greg and Aunt Andrea, used to live in Yarmouth as well but for the past 6 years they have been in the valley for work. They have maintained a cottage near Yarmouth, so we luckily have been able to see them a little bit more often. Yarmouth is like that. Once you leave for whatever reason, it is easy to think about and feel like it will always be home, no matter how wonderful a place you move to, nothing compares to Yarmouth!
The above picture was the trigger topic to a very good laugh and funny conversation. I learned that the pills from the middle of the table were in fact Vitamin D and not and other sort of pill one might want to have on hand once the kids have moved away. Hope Andrea and Greg have a wonderful last few days of their holiday at the lake! Wonderful seeing them!
