Mom is OK, No Surgery Required

Mom is okay. The surgeon here in Halifax doesn't think she needs surgery. Her arm will be placed in a sling and after a week they will check to see her shoulder is healing appropriately. She has left the hospital.

98 Dom Perignon

This past week Sarah and I took a week of vacation to celebrate our 2nd anniversary. To me it feels as if we lost a year and it was last summer our friends and family came together to celebrate our love, not the summer before. Some reading might think "2 years..pffft...thats nothing", it was a fun celebration none-the-less. We watched whales and fine dined in Saint Andrews, we jet-skied on First Eel River lake, played soccer with the pros (our nieces), watched fire works, partied in Shinimicas, visited our grand parents, a baby was born (not ours), and drank a 12 year-old champagne while, inadvertently and coincidentally, celebrating my sister's new home. We even had an unexpected visit with some aunts and uncles which we enjoyed very much. Tonight is the end though. Tomorrow is chore day, and the day after back to work we go. We enjoyed every minute of it and appreciated the time we spent with our friends and family. Here are a few photos of the champagne which closed out this campaign. The cork is deep in our woods.
