My middle grand-daughter and I both love to walk, we get that from my Mom. When Andrea mentioned to the neighbour that we would be visiting, she commented, “At least your Mom takes the girls on walks. Not something I see you do.”
Meaghan has been reading up on the cross Canada trail and had a selection of routes picked out for our visit. Each day we did a part of the Upper St. John River Irving Trail which runs from Woodstock to Grand Falls. This was quite fitting as Saturday was the Founders International Trails Day celebration.
On the first day, as the girls loaded themselves into our new to us van, Meghan announced it was official, we are now truly old. As evidenced by the van. They didn’t mind the leg room though, and had a great time talking back to “Martha”, the female voice on our G.P.S.
Despite the drizzle and the mosquitoes it was a wonderful way to spend time with the grand-daughters. The scenery was beautiful.
The next day we walked half of the Hartland Bridge, while listening to my DH’s story of how he did the same thing 50 years ago with his aunt when visiting his cousins in Hartland. After our walk, we drove through this pretty little town of red brick building. Unfortunately the Scotty Potato chips factory no longer exists. My DH and his cousins would end their walkabout there, sampling potato chips fresh from the fryer.
Shoulda gone over to the covered bridge chip factory out by the highway.
