NO BORING DAY NEWSLETTER
Christmas By the Sea
This year I got have to wonderful privilege of having my sister and my
niece come to Halifax for Christmas. The days were endless, the fun
was joyous and the company was perfect. Everyday was filled with
adventure, whether it was out by the sea looking for shells, sea
glass, Mini Golfing, Swimming, Shopping, Baking, decorating a large
homemade gingerbread house, doing puzzles, playing endless board
games, we had the best time. we got snow this year for Christmas, we
don’t usually get a lot of snow so it was a treat, we went outside for
multiple hours and made a snowman, in Saskatchewan they don’t have
snow that is packy for snowman so this was the first time she made one
and such a special treat for my niece.
My Niece discovered snowballs, and had an absolute blast making them
and throwing them at me, which of course resulted in an epic snowball
fight with my 4 year old niece. The days went by way too fast and soon
it was time to say goodbye, I was sad to see them go, but glad for the
amazing memories made.
Alabama
Having friends from far off places are the absolute best, I get to go
visit them and discover all sites, cultures, see the area through the
eyes of the locals, meet wonderful friends and family of my friend,
and just overall have a wonderful time catching up with dear ones.
Adventures and conversations were endless. Some of the adventures
that were had was, a tour of an antebellum home, these homes just
amaze me, I feel like I can visualize the underground railroad! A road
trip to Mobile, then down to the ferry then over to the beach. I got
to see palm trees, brown Pelicans, cormorants, cotton fields, and my
first time seeing and touching the Gulf of Mexico. supper and visits
with my friends family. I managed to come to Alabama in the coldest week in recorded history
since 1893, but hey I’m Canadian!

I’m just being weird by the sea
The Hamburg
The ship called The Hamburg was a three masted wooden sailing ship,
built then launched in 1886. The ship was all wood including the nails
which were wooden pegs, it was in use until it was abandoned and sank
when the warf burnt down in 1936. The ship then lay at the bottom of
the sea for years. Last summer we had torrential rain, causing flash
floods, where the side haul of the Hamburg was rediscovered. I had
the privileged to go to the beach and find it.
