Canada Part 1 ~ Meeting "Island Sparrow" In Real Life!

This week I'll write a series of posts with pictures of our anniversary trip to Canada. Watch for quilt shop excursions, flower gardens for Bloomin' Tuesday, newly purchased yarn for Work-in-Progress Wednesday, and wonderful scenery from Anne of Green Gables countryside!

One of the highlights of our Prince Edward Island trip was meeting Kathie (Island Sparrow) and her husband who are true Islanders. Kathie blogs over at A Sparrow's Home, and if you want to see some really beautiful photos of the Island, visit Kathie's blog.

Here's our ferry getting ready to dock, load, and then take us over to Prince Edward Island. The views were absolutely terrific as we crossed from Caribou over to Wood Island, and the deep blue water was exceptionally beautiful!

This is one example of some beautiful scenery leaving Nova Scotia and heading towards Prince Edward Island.

Tom enjoyed the fresh air and sunshine as the weather was beautiful almost every day we were away! Amazing!

In planning the trip, when we knew for sure that we would be traveling close to where Kathie lived on the Island, we emailed each other and set up a time to meet for the first time in real life!

We met at a little restaurant called Higher Ground and enjoyed a delicious meal together. It was so much fun! I loved meeting Kathie, Roger, and their daughter Sarah who waitress-ed our table.

Remember the table runner I recently made? Kathie was the recipient as I wanted to bring a gift from Virginia to share with her, so it was all the more fun making it knowing that it would travel so far from home! Kathie posted a picture of the table runner in her home here (scroll down).

Here's a picture of the four of us at the end of the evening. What a very pleasant introduction to a beautiful Island. Thanks again, Kathie and Roger!

How fun to meet Kathie and her family and to give the rest of us a chance to see what 'Island Sparrow' looks like. She and her family must really love living on that beautiful island.

Thanks for your posts about your trip! I have often visited there in my imagination through the LM Montgomery books, so it is fun to see some real life pictures! It was also great to visit Kathie's beautiful blog.
