Today it rained here, for about a half hour. Just enough to freshen the air up. Not sure of the temperature but the rain makes it a bit muggy. I am not complaining. You don't have to shovel rain or muggy. The boys want me to mention that today has been a typical island day which means they didn't do enough to break the sabbath. Mack read for most of the day, while Al practiced some card games. I walked to the drug store and back and bought some nail polish to play with. It is really quiet in this part of the island. Obvious that the tourist season has died down to damn near nothing. Good thing we are here to kick the economy into the near year.
We have Canadian neighbours now. A couple from Upper Canada in their 45 Dufour "Entre Amis". I haven't met them yet but Al and Mack have helped them with their lines when they came alongside. We have also been offered the private dock of Mr P Outerbridge. The family name is quite well known in this area. Long story short, Mr Outerbridge married a Canadian lady and he has at least one son back in Nova Scotia. I am not sure if we will be moving to his place or not. Like I said, this has been a lazy day, and Al shut down his thinking too. It's nice to see his face soften a little bit. When I got here you could see the strain on his face from the storm me thinks. Anyway, I just hope he continues to relax and enjoy retirement.
I have been checking out some real estate prices. "If" you had a million dollars you could buy a property. A small cottage two bedroom with one bath in need of some TLC runs you about $775,000. That's after you put down a cool million to be able to buy. Gotta find me a cheaper island to live.
That's all from us. Hope everything home is okay. Kisses to Ryen, from Nana!
