Ennis Sisters at Imperial Theatre




Last evening Mom and I went to see the Ennis Sisters at the Imperial.
What an entertaining show, great start to Christmas season.

Weekend in Halifax



Spent last weekend in Halifax.
Went to Mahone Bay on Saturday. It was a beautiful day with 7 degree temperatures.
We had lunch at Rebeccas, just up from the 3 sisters as you enter Mahone Bay.
On our way out you could roast marshmallows, so Mom and I each had one.


That evening we had a lovely staek dinner with roasted potatoes, green beans and carrots.
Jack had also made a chocolate cake with boiled icing in honor of Pauls birthday.
Margie set the  table with Moms silverware and crystal.
 

Meet Trixie, their 4 month old labrodoodle.

The boys enjoyed their bikes this weekend.

His bike was TOO small, so we found a "like new', bike online.
