Two Birthdays and an Anniversary

Yesterday was a busy day spent travelling along the south-western side of Carlton Bay.

We left Runamuk and cruised up the coast, past Cross Point, to Railhead on Station Fjord. There we meet up with FCC's family for an 85 birthday celebration. We ate devilled eggs, ham, potato salad, while trying to decide who spent the most time playing golf. The winner was cousin Tad, whose tanned legs turned deathly pale at the point where ankle socks would have otherwise begun, AKA Golfer's Foot.

From there it was up the coast to Grande Lapin where a retired minister of our acquaintance, the Rev. Dr. Herb Sage and his lovely wife were celebrating their 50th anniversary. This attracted quite a crowd from Chocolate Bay, Runamuk, Dutch Wells, and Grande Lapin, of course.

Finally, it was north to our final port of call, Boulder Rest, and a birthday visit with High-Speed Hermitess, and The Abbot. Our timing was perfect. As we were arriving, other visitors (the Maternal Unit, Marx, The Big E, and Contra) were preparing to head back to Nuddude South. The Abbot's nephew, N.D., his significant other, Annie Lorrie (born, as I was, in the Holy Land), and their new born daughter soon followed.

We had travelled with our pure breed Runamuk Walker, Fang Von Auto, so we all went for a walk- FCC and I with Fang; HSH and TA with their dog, Flash.

After the stroll, we on the Verandah O' Love, drank tea, ate cheese and crackers, discussed life, the universe, and various forms of plant life, and rounded it up with a nice slice of cake.

Oh yes, HSH and TA are off to the centre of the known universe to attend a wedding! This is a major event. In truth, I am all agog! I can only hope that HSH is gentle with CKU and its denizens.

We left Boulder Rest excited, tired, and on the look out for random growlers along the way.

Later, Mushers!
