Visit the world's largest ...

Whilst en route to the latest adventure, the Sweetest people indulged my Bucket List by making stops at two more large things.  I have my doubts as to whether these are the "largest ever", but they are certainly giant items in the good old Miramichi!

So let me introduce you to Bruce the Moose (a classic statue that most people seem to recognized!  I have been told he sports a bright orange vest during hunting season!)

As well as the (unverified) World's Largest Fly - also living in the Miramichi!  (Watch out fish - I will be back to get you some day!  That list item remains unfinished!!)

T-Minus

Hey kids -

So I am putting the feelers out ... anyone fancy doing any of the following next week ...

a) going to the Beaverbrook?  (EM you in?)
b) playing bingo at St.Mary's?
c) swinging by Gagetown to see the bucks?

After this weekend I will have an increadibly fun update to report. Let the excitement build ...!!!!

Visit the World's Biggest Axe

In writing up the last post, I realized I have totally neglected this "world's biggest" (which I hope I don't have to substitute for Shedac's lobster!!)

As I was driving to Boston I came across the sign for the World's Biggest Axe en route to Woodstock, NB.  And seeing as my driving companion, yours truly, loves to tick off any world's biggest ever, we/I drove into the tiny town of Nackawic for a photo.  I met some awesome people who directed me to the axe, and it was just the kind of driving detour I love!

Visit three NB cities - two down

OK I am slightly cheating again ... but the ticking clock says it is OK!

Over Easter I went to Boston to visit my sis and friends (sorry DHope I know I was supposed to write that trip up - I am bad to the bone!!)  I guess since it was Easter season, the lines at the boarder were INSANE!!  I tried to find a NEXUS line in vain, but was happy to answer a load of questions about who I am and where I am from and what I do.  Hell, it was better than a lot of first dates I have had.

And since I spent many many a minutes/hours waiting in line, I will say I have visited the city of "Boarder Crossing".

AWOLness and Countdown excelerated ...

I spent last weekend in the city that I am from (but don't like to discuss) for a meeting.  And it was .... interesting/weird/fun/awesome/different to be there.  I have to admit that I missed good old Freddy!  Had a lovely dinner last night of fiddle head quiche with a side of lobster roll ... does life get any better?!?

And with a heavy heart I have to excelerate this list as I will be back in the big smoke in T-minus ... too few days.  I have one hell of a wicked weekend planned with the Sweets - and EM might join me for a little art gallery fun.  So much to do and so little time.  Every single gosh darn part of my body is crossed that I can continue this list next year ...

Beat SP at a game other than Apples to Apples

I am a cheat.

I don't deserve this badge ... but in the highly likely chance that I will never beat the stratigizer at anything not Apples, I will cheat and win this badge.

First off - congrats to S&A on their beautiful new abode.  What a great spot!  Looking forward to seeing the final colours.  What a fantastic space you have!

Apres Cinco de Mayo and K derby celebrations I was tardy to the games party (sorry!).  I was a little behind on the game, but when I was delegated to be the banker and could steal thousands whenever I felt like it, the play really began.  That move snagged me a fake win!

Agrigola rematch SP?!??

Go to three Churches (2 down)

I lucked out with my apartment.  Centrally located, a wonderful space for me and my fur baby, and a pretty spot in general.  Little did I know that I would have Sunday morning church bell concerts as a perk of being so close to the big cathedral.  I am a morning person, so don't mind being up at the crack of dawn on Sundays (but can't seem to run at that time!!).  Even in the winter months I was known to crack open the window so I could hear the lovely church bells every Sunday.

And in my quest to cross things off the list I now enter two churches to the list.  Said Cathedral - went there one day to walk around (have since met the man in St.John who redid all the goldsmithing - small world!) and also Wilmont Church for Shivering Songs.  What a beautiful church!!!  Loved the little pew doors!

So one more church to visit!!
