Fire – Sandy McFadden

Sunset at the shore

One of the things we do with our friends and family that I love is having evening fires at the shore. We have a great group so the company is good no matter what and being at the shore it’s always so peaceful. Put those good people together at the shore and it just makesContinue reading “Sunset at the shore”

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire

Christmas Eve! All the gift preparations are ready. The house is all decorated. Today involves picking up some last minute supplies, Christmas Eve church services, and prepping some of the mountains of food we’re going to consume over the next few days.

Afternoon at the Shore

This afternoon, together with a bunch of friends and family, we headed to the shore. The beach is a all rocks and is at Scot’s Bay on the Bay of Fundy.
