Day 112- July 10- Thea and Roy Atkinson



My year off has been an incredible time. I had originally planned donning a backpack and being on the road in an around the world holiday, stopping in Europe, dashing to Africa, stomping through Asia and the Middle East, swimming around in the Caribbean and hiking mountain peaks in South America after cruising different cities and sites around North America. Needless to say, this didn't happen as I had planned, mostly due to the house I purchased as an investment. However, in hindsight, I am very glad that it didn't exactly work out the way I had planned. As a result of being home for much more of the year, I had the opportunity to meet and get to know some pretty special people in Yarmouth, that I now consider friends!

Thea is one of those people, (as well as Sandy, Natasha, Gabrielle, Heather, Kim, and many others) Thea and her husband Roy are big in the extremely talented Yarmouth Music scene. Roy is a great guitar player and Thea is modest about her musical abilities, which I think she must possess in abundance, but is as shy about her talent for photography and writing. She has spent many hours taking pictures of bands and has a very good eye. I also learned today that she is a fantastic cook and has a knack for the BBQ! Hope you enjoy these pictures! I apologize profusely for the very over the top picture of Thea and I. I seem to have been unable to control my excitement for Barbie Jam, good times!







Theme song for today: Mustang Sally by The Commitments
