Tick Tock



Trapped in the Motel



We are still staying in a motel in Central Bedeque … for the next 4 nights. Time is ticking away slowly as we await the arrival of the day we move into our new home, November 1^st.   Sometimes we feel like it will never arrive!

Today was a beautiful sunny day.  The skies were bright blue and with the odd white fluffy cloud one might say it was a perfect day.  The Fall air was crisp but at times the sun was so warm you could walk around in a t-shirt.  It was an outstanding Autumn day!

We decided to do a load of laundry and hang it out on the line to dry.  Yes … our motel room has its own clothes line outside our back door.  We call it “solar drying”.  While we waited for the clothes to dry (which is almost as much fun as watching paint dry), we decided to take Bailey and go for a walk into Central Bedeque. 

The streets were very quiet with the exception of the odd truck filled with potatoes driving by.  During our walk we came across a little café with an outdoor seating area (perfect when you have a dog with you).  We decided to stop, get a cup of hot chocolate and sit outside and enjoy the day.  It was exactly what we had envisioned when we talked about retiring.  As we sat sipping our hot chocolate, a local resident walked by and stopped to say hello and state what a nice day we were having.  Then he mentioned that next week we will be getting winter, something I wasn’t planning on for a while.  Lol 

We have found that the people on PEI are very friendly.  When you walk down the street everyone smiles and says hello to you.  Living in a small town where everyone is friendly is just what we were looking to retire in.  I think moving to PEI is the perfect place if you want to escape the traffic and the rat race of a busy city and are looking for a quiet, peaceful, friendly town to live in. We are happy to be here … although … the winter hasn’t officially arrived yet!  Stay tuned!  J
