MUM’S THE WORD

James was spending the day with his Grandmother and as soon as he got aboard her vehicle he reached for the radio. Not to change the station or turn up the volume – he shut it off, stating; “The thing I like best about driving with Dad is that all we do is talk. ItREAD MORE

We did some laughing with a local character on one of our City & Cape Tours last week. Our friend is a professional fish fileter who works at the new processing facility on the south side of St. John’s harbour.

GROUNDED MEAT

Our parents went moose hunting last week. No kidding. A couple in their mid 70’s drove a total of 14 hours, all the way across the island and then way “Down” (North) to meet their friends Eric and Ann Cunard in snowy, Plum Point, Newfoundland.

Our Mother bought a fascinating little book for the grandchildren last Christmas. ‘Will’s Words’ is beautifully illustrated, effectively portraying simple messages through the exaggeration of cartoon. More specifically, it explains the significance of William Shakespeare’s works, its influence on the English language, and why its important for us to continue his study. Brilliant!   ‘…READ MORE

We met up with old friends from Corner Brook, Newfoundland and it wasn’t long before the conversation brought us back to all the great times we’d shared while operating a resort near the city’s signature ski hill – ‘Marble Mountain’.
