I awoke to the sun when Gypsy walked across my chest and scared me to death. Man! It had been 39C when I left home and now it was 13C in the sun. Niiiiice! I chatted a bit with Jim and Lillian then called the car rental place to be picked up. A nice young man came by and took me to the rental place, which was on the other side of town. A few minutes later, a Ford Fusion was mine for the duration. I am not a Ford fan but this car was really nice – plenty of room, a HUGE trunk, and air conditioning. I laughed at that – I sure could have used that 24 hours ago in Philly!
I called Candace to see if she wanted to go to Moo Moo’s with me. Would you believe they had partridgeberry ice cream at Moo Moo’s? You KNOW that’s what I got! I’d go anywhere for partridgeberries. And there’s no place like Newfoundland to feed my cravings. I hope I find a good partridgeberry pie this time around. I haven’t had one for 3 years! We sat outside Moo Moo’s and chatted a bit while enjoying our waffle cones.
But the first thing I did after that was to go up to Signal Hill. Gotta have my SH fix. It was beautiful in the sun as usual. I never get tired of going up there. Every time you go, there is something different – the color of the sky or water, the plants in bloom, animals or birds, whales, boats, people, wind, fog…
It was great to see Candace again after a year. She seemed so much more confident than last year when she first came up here. The place suits her well, I think.
