In the morning Vic and
I got out our rods and to my amusement Vic snarfed back the rest of
his birthday cake for breakfast. Ah camping is there anything
better? WLe didn't catch anything and I drove him on home, thankful
that he had spent his 75th birthday with me.





I reassured her that it was a very wide and stable canoe and I was sure she would like it. I swore to keep my eyes up front because I was worried I might accidentally dive out of the canoe if a big spider was crawling on me. I managed quite well, only pausing once to scoop one up with my paddle and send it to a watery grave. I paddled around the bay for a while (about 3 hours) mystified that my back (Which I had pinched moving my friend) was not screaming in agony. We decided to stop for a break because I desperately needed to pee. We found a little path to pull the canoe up to shore. While I was doing my business trying not to pee on my shoes or shorts (I don't pee in the woods so well) I spied a skull and crossbones thing which looked a lot like voodoo. Pauline noticed another one and took some pictures. We decided to beat a hasty retreat.




The next day we chilled
on the beach while Pauline and Mandy read and I played my guitar. I
manged to find 20 buck on my adventures which bought a can opener at
the tuck shop that I had neglected to pack. I was happy to be
camping, but happy to go home because my kiddo was going to be there
when shortly.

When I got home I was
greeted by my brother who had driven down from Barrie with his buddy
to do some fishing. I was glad he was there because I missed him a
lot and hadn't seen him in about 5 years. I was also glad he had
strong arms and could carry my camping gear in the house. was
exhausted. I did manage to do a little bit of fishing that evening
with him and was called home to greet my kiddo! I was happy to see
her. Although I had a lot of fun on my vacation I missed her a lot.
She's not only my child she is my buddy and it felt strange doing all
the fun things with out her. Though she did have a good time in
Newfoundland.



I felt very loved in
the last couple of weeks. My vacation ended will with my family and
I couldn't have been happier.
