| Old Buddies |
As we sweltered in 100 degree Knoxville TN, we found out that our schedules had opened
up and that we had a month without any commitments. We had planned 3 trips of varying lengths,
depending on how much time we would have. So, we were able to take the “long” trip to Prince Edward Island,
Canada. Land of mussels, Malpeque
oysters, lobsters, Anne of Green Gables and cooler temperatures. As a bonus, we would be able to stop off and
visit dear friends and relatives along the way.
What could be better?
Our first stop
was to see our good friends Bill and Gail McAfoos in East Aurora NY, near
Buffalo. Russ and Bill met in the Coast
Guard 48 years ago in Washington DC.
Though they are old friends, we prefer to say that they are friends of
long standing. We blogged about our
visit to their charming, old Victorian house a few years ago. They have recently downsized into a cozy home
with a happy red roof in the same village.
We ate at a
local farm to table restaurant, and Gail made some yummy chili. Every time we visit, we get some “Buffalo Wings”,
this time for lunch. After all, Buffalo
is where “Buffalo Wing”s were invented. Did
you know that in the Buffalo area they just call them “Wings”?

| Hmmmmm, Time for Timmy's |
It was great fun to see our friends, catching
up on old times, Russ and Bill even called another old Coast Guard buddy. On a morning dog walk, Russ found and plundered
the local Tim Hortons, scoring 6 pounds of coffee to fuel us on our travels.
