Canada Day

Well there is a lot to say on my fourth Canada Day here on PEI. I won't elaborate in this post but later when I can. I am working on the "Golden Coffin" essay and I will post that soon.

The whole town was down at the baywalk for fireworks tonight. Mostly school-aged kids and young families. The cool misty rain started just as the fireworks ended around 10:30. It was a night requiring a jacket and my hands grew a bit numb sitting on the fence for an hour. They started at 10, as that was really when it was dark enough at this latitude on July 1.

No mail from anyone other than Phil Benjamin today. He lost his birth certificate and I reminded him it had been in his dad's house in Monroeton in the safe. The house that should have been. Another gift from Rhonda to the family. The latter-day loss of two homes the kids could have had. I hope she is happy with the few dollars all the pain yielded. Watch the karma, Shel always says.

No word from her either but payday approacheth. She will probably be heard from. Happy July to all-back to creative writing soon, I promise.
