Century Farm Family Campground

OK, if you haven't been to Century Farm Campground in St. Martins and you like to tent or RV, or even stay in a quaint little cabin, make plans to do so this summer (1-866-394-4400). It is one of the most beautiful places we know of to camp -- the ocean, the red cliffs, the quaint little village, and of course, the best campground we have found to date. Again, thank you to Linda and Byard Moran for your hospitality, and we will see you on Friday this week for another long stay.

Jed & Granny were there with their trailer, and of course us with our huge truck (only a few tours of the RV this time). Jon and Alicia, Afton, Jack & Ivy arrived on Friday evening. Jay and Holly and new baby Ruby arrived Saturday at noon. We ate, walked, beached, sat, cooked, campfired the weekend away. A bit sunburnt, too, as we didn't notice the sun being hot because of the gentle breeze. Today we packed up and left our RVs at the campground, and drove home in Jed's CRV. Jon & Alicia joined us at our house, and after a sit on the verandah enjoying the rain, we piled in the vehicles again and traveled to Kings Landing to eat a Father's Day meal at The Acorn restaurant, a fabulous place to eat (very busy today).

Alicia and the children are coming back down tomorrow, and I will go to Samaria House in the morning and keep them in the afternoon, while she goes to Moncton to buy a violin. There's never a dull moment in our family.

Pray for Almira, our friend, who is undergoing very intensive chemo for lymphoma. In the very near future she will require a bone marrow transplant. We are praying for a short treatment regime and a short, speedy recovery. God IS able to do immeasurably MORE than all we ask or imagine.

This time LAST year, I was finishing up radiation in Saint John with Nurse Cherry taking of me. This year, she is helping Almira, along with Almira's Brenda. I had my Brenda, my sister. Almira has a Brenda, too. Good to have Cherries and Brendas in your life.
