From the land of the Bluenose.....Otto purred down the highway to exit 8 heading for the annual Lerue Family Picnic/washer tournament in Elmsdale. Marie was ready having made a super pineapple chicken salad that was added to the countless other dishes that her 50 some odd relatives had brought for the gathering of the clan. I was full just looking at all the grub which I'm sure could have fed the whole crew aboard the HMCS Bonaventure which was decommisioned years back ....something like I was after overeating bigtime and bowing out in the first round of the washer tournament. (Rather then post all the photos of that here is a link if you care to view. May have to cut and paste.)

After waddling out to the car and dropping off Marie, sister and her friend I headed out to a local school that has been very good to me in the past and too boot is only 10 minutes from home.<center><img src="http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b7d934b3127cceb84269d8e9af00000026108AcM2bhk4ZN2"></center>
Wasn't expecting to reach my quota but was just enjoying the "down time" after the heptic day. Was mildly surprised by the amount of coins I pulled out in the 40 minutes as I have hammered this field unmercifully over the past few years. I was even more surprised when I pulled this little puppy with it's little diamond!<center><img src="http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b7d934b3127cceb84269dce9ab00000026108AcM2bhk4ZN2"></center>
Bugs were eating me alive so I called it a day and waddled once again to Otto who seemed to dip a bit on the driver's side when I got it. Whether it was me or Otto nursing his wound I'll never know. Take for the day was the diamond ring and 30 coins @ $7.78.....thank goodness for loonies and twoonies!<center><img src="http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b7d934b3127cceb84269bee9c900000026108AcM2bhk4ZN2"></center>
Arriving home excited Marie tried it on and it didnt fit so I put it in it's new home with it's buddies!<center><img src="http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b7d934b3127cceb84260f1282a00000026108AcM2bhk4ZN2"></center>
