Hope you are having a great summer. We had a fabulous time in Antigonish. The grandkids are still talking about it. Norman is not in the photo because he skipped the parade. Thanks again for a beautiful blog experience. IS Adele in the photo? Nova Scotia certainly is a special place. Hi Donna. I hope you are surviving the heat wave! Adele is not in the photo: she was playing in a bridge tournament that day. We are already planning another trip for next summer.
Great article and photos, Rose Anne! Many thanks for the lovely comment, Sharon. I followed your UK trip on Facebook. Looks like you had a fabulous trip. A trip to Scotland is on my bucket list! It brought me back to my Highland dancing career in Antigonish and yes, I could jump as high as The Scottish lassies in your pictures, at one time. After high school, I went to Nursing school in Sydney, Cape Breton, where I perfected both step dancing and square dancing.
Both kept me in good shape but it was always the enjoyment and laughter, that brought us back to the Friday night caleighs or kitchen parties! No doubt, you will continue this wonderful tradition of having all your family in Antigonish for the Highland Games and maybe a grandchild or 2 will one day be competing in tug-of-war, drumming or dancing!
