Mystical, magical Miramichi River

I thought I would focus on more then one person in a boat, other boats in the water, with a flag or two.

This is the Dragon Boat races that was held in Chatham/Miramichi, NB.  This is usually a quiet town, but, on this day, you could not find a parking space, cars were bumper to bumper.

Of course, visited the local watering place, O'Donaghue's where our favorite lady, Maltida Murdoch was fiddling at a jam session.

It was a fine large day and fun was had by all!!!  For more boats, rowers, flags, go to www.sepiasaturday.blogspot.com

Hello Fellow Sepians, I thought I would submit this picture taken from the Our Miramichi Heritage Photo site.  It depicts three girls around our park fountain in what was known as Newcastle, around the turn of the century.   We have amalgamated into a city called Miramichi since early 1990's.

This time around, I thought I would submit this picture I took while visiting my son, his wife and little grand daughter on Prince Edward Island.  I had an old camera I was fooling around with and snapped a few pictures, this was originally two pictures, one of the three of them, and one of me and the little one.  It somehow got meshed all into one!

Although I submitted my next picture before for another theme, I thought I would submit it again, this is a picture of my Dad in his father's old car, and I do believe that little spirit at the foreground is my brother, Maurice when he was just a little tyke.  Looks kind of spooky........

This week, I looked and looked and could not find a woman looking at a mirror or a rough looking dude with a chapeau.  So I decided I would go for the hairstyle, when in doubt, go with the hairstyle I say.....

This photo was found in between the walls at my Mother's Inn a few years ago.  They were renovating and came across it.  We don't know who she is so we dubbed her "The Mystery Lady".  She is very beautiful and she might have been looking at a mirror, who knows?  I will always wonder why this beautiful picture was hidden in between the walls........If walls could talk......

Then in the spirit of Halloween, I thought I would throw in some pictures of me in costumes through the years.  Miss Piggy and the French Maid had the most fun, think I will go out again this Halloween and kick up my heels.  I have to admit though, the last time I went out as Miss Piggy, it was during the Swine Flu epidemic, and I didn't get many dances, men must have been scared of catching the swine flu or maybe they were scared of Kermit the Frog......

This, believe or not was not a wig, it was my very own hair, wish I had the color back, this was in the year 2000, not that long ago.....

Hoping you stop over to www.sepiasaturday.blogspot.com  to see many more haunting pictures, funny pictures, old pictures, oh well, I'm sure you get the drift.......Happy Halloween to those who partake in that silly stuff......

I looked at the prompt picture and went searching for something to submit.  I found these three pictures, hope they fill the space.

  Here is a picture of my Great grandparents, the Duclos Clan, (circa around mid to late '30's) my grandparents in the back row.  The middle row is my mother standing in front of her mother, next to her are my various uncles at various ages.  

Now, my Mother and Father, my two brothers and me, (I was definitely not looking left.  This was around 1952 or 1953.  A few years later, Mom and Dad were to have 3 more children, 2 girls and 1 boy, all within 3 years!!!

----my daughter and her husband, they are looking to the left as were the ones in the prompt picture! 
 

 

 Last but not least, my beautiful daughter and her handsome husband, they are definitely looking left as are the ones in the prompt picture!!

I looked high and low, and could not find a photo that closely resembled the expressions on those poor unhappy face that was the prompt for this week, so came up with these:

These are my three Great Aunts, Sarah, Sophie, and Roseanne.  When my Mother opened her house as an inn a few years back, she named the 3 rooms after these find looking ladies.  When my mother retired and sold the Inn, the new owners kept the name on the doors.

In keeping with the "three in a picture", I am presenting this one of the Grandmother, Marie, her sister, Marguerite and her husband, Maurice, who I think was an avid photographer.  These two ladies are sisters to the three ladies in the picture above.  These sisters, my great aunts were very fashionable dressers!!

 I must have dipped into my great aunts and my grandmother's genes, I like to dress up too!  Here I am pictured going to a Victorian Tea with an elderly neighbor of mine, she loved to dress up too!!

For many more pictures go to  www.sepiasaturday.blogspot.com   Happy Thanksgiving weekend to all those who celebrate it in the Sepian world!!

Getting ready to retire, November, 2015

I have decided to retire, well, semi retire in November of this year.  I am retiring from the Real Estate business, but thought I would start a little sewing business at home.  I received my new business cards this week, now I have to distribute them so I can build a little clientele before I actually retire.  It will give me something to do, but still regulate when I want time off to do other things, like joining people for tea, traveling, etc.  Wish me luck!!!!
