Lobster Festival Day 3 - June 7th, 2008

The day started early - it was the Town-wide Yard Sale in Shelburne and we wanted to get some windows for the shed so we left at 7:20 to get to Home Hardware when it opened at 8:00. Driving towards West Green Harbour we missed a deer by about 2 inches when it ran in front of the car - quite a surprise!

We got our windows and spent a couple of hours touring the yard sales - it was great to see the streets of Shelburne clogged with traffic and the sidewalks clogged with pedestrians. We made a few minor purchases - mainly books for grandchildren to read while visiting us. One of the longboats built for the Loyalist Landing celebrations was practising in the harbour - working on their military precision moves I guess.

Heading back to Lockeport, Wayne installed my dryer (with much muttering, cursing, changes to wall, etc), so lunch was plain old turkey and cheddar sandwiches between mumblings.

Supper - back to sublime. The Town & Country had no lobster so we went back to the Parrot's Pins. What a treat! Lobster and mango bisque, cheddar and chive biscuits, artichoke heart salad with baby spinach, baby romaine, snow peas, cherry tomatoes, shredded carrots, parmesan and a fruity dressing, AND lobster quesadillas with blackberry salsa. Dessert was something called Irish Cream bars - sinfully good. Then an on-the-house glass of ice wine-brandy. A lovely meal!
