August 11, 2008 King Neptune Campground, Nova Scotia
Today was Terry’s day off. We slept in (until 10:30 am) as he had watched the Olympics until 3 am. ( yeah American Olympic Swimming relay team!) I got in the mood to do a cleaning of the inside of the motor home. Pam would be so proud of me. I oiled all of the wood, washed all of the inside windows, cleaned all portions of the toilet, even with a toothbrush. I vacuumed, dusted, cleaned steps shook rugs, are you tired yet? It was a pleasure to do as I could look outside and see a wonderful view all day long. And the feeling of satisfaction in doing a hard days work speaks for itself. Even touring in wonderful destinations requires cleaning once in a while.
At noon, we went to the lobster pond next door, to order our dinner for tonight. We selected our very own 1.5 pound lobsters. We were to return at 5 pm to have them already cooked. At 4:30 I cooked the corn on the cob and set the picnic table outside Russ’ motor home as he has the best view. Armed with loads of paper towels, we devoured our lobster. Terry purchased a roller to use to get the lobster meat out of the legs. This is something we would not have to do at our favorite restaurant The Fish Company in Los Alamitos, California. But for $ 8.75 a pound, cooked, this was a deal. I would be intimidated to order a lobster like this in a restaurant but out here on the picnic table no one cared how messy we were. The view was to die for and we think we are so fortunate to have such a life. We will order lobster again tomorrow.
