Mabou and family

Staying ahead of Hurricane Lee (so far :-) we headed out of Lunenburg and took the trail to Mabou to visit Kathy's cousin Sally and her husband Jim. The old family home (the very house Kathy's grandfather was born in) sits high atop Northumberland Straight and, with over 300 acres, stands like the grand damn of the area. Built in about 1850, Sally and Jim (who actually live in New Glasgow) have been keeping the house in good shape and stay here often. The views out to sea are splendiferous and the home itself is filled with antiques and family history. This has been a great opportunity for Kathy to learn more about her family history and to catch up on the lives of many cousins, aunts and uncles. The photos are just a sampling of our time. 

Hope all is well with each of you and your winds and rain continue calmly. CJ
