The aftermath.....Sept 5, and 6

The ferry ride settled down somewhat to calmer waters about 12 hours into the trip!!I went down to the lounge area and found Reg, Janice, Iona, Wendy and JIm. We went to the cafeteria to have a bite to eat and then I said my final good bye's and wandered off to the gift shop where I purchased a neat print of a fishing village...it was the image that I had in my head of what St. John's would look like. The ferry docked and we headed back to Saint John, stopping in Sackville to have a bite to eat before arriving in Quispamsis just before 10 p.m.
Both cats were indoors and seemed to recognize us. Yaga immediately proceeded to go over to the wool rug and scratch his paws and tear out the fibre....guess he was showing me!! He needs some TLC as he has a few knots in his fur. Buddy came to be cuddled and let me hug and hold him several times in the night and also continued his routine to sleep on our bed.
Chris and Claudine had been out to clean up the house, and there was a lovely bouquet of flowers on the table. Christopher had painted my front door and it is lovely. Also on the table was a note from Bev with a bound copy of my daily blog, complete with photos that Bruce had put on the internet!! Amazing. She is so thoughtful and creative!!!
We unloaded our bags and man it didn't take long to mess up the place. Also went through the two months of mail, sorting junk from important stuff. The work to catch up seems overwhelming!! Trying to sort out the bank account another issue, but I will take my time. I went to bed around midnight but was woken up by the alarm going off in another room. It took me a minute to find out what the noise was and where I was!! I didn't sleep well the rest of the night and was up early to attack the work. Chris came out to pick up Bob for work, and he plugged the photo CD into our computer and was looking....but had to leave to get Bob to work. Did laundry and then called Dianne to see if by chance they were going to town as I needed to renew my license. She invited me over for breakfast and I took the CD of our photos to view. It was great to see she and Blaine again. I went back home for a bit to tackle more chores and we headed into town after 1. Renewed lisence and then hit the mall. Bought Bob's birthday present.....boring, clothes for work. Stopped at Superstore and picked up a chicken, potatos and salad stuff to make dinner. Afterwards I tackled bills and then took $$$$ next door to David who had been pet sitting and mowing our grass. Bob and I then went down to the Gondola Point Ferry to meet up with the WEdnesday night riders. WE went to the other side and met Glen, Dorothy, Dana, Simon, George, Carole, Barb, Henry. It was nice to see everyone, although I missed Gary who apparently was at a meeting. We went to Deluxe afterwards and sat with them for a bit. BAck home to sort out more mail. Things are coming.
I am hoping to find time today to begin to tackle a clean up and overhaul of my bike. I think we may do a good ride on the weekend.......
