HOCKEY NIGHT IN CANADA!


Hockey is in the blood of most Canadians and suffice it to say not a drop is in mine.... except watching our son play for the last 7 years!! However, our Canadian team the Ottawa Senators is in the Stanley Cup playoffs and I happened to see some playoffs on tv at a pub this week. Being in Florida seeing hockey on any tv is amazing, there is football (no. 1), then baseball, basketball, golf and even swimming!! Anyways, the hockey expert in our family, (my dad on Vancouver Island) says Ottawa really doesn't have a chance! I have to share this with you for the love of the game:

It's game seven of the Stanley Cup Finals and a man in the cheap seats sees an empty one at centre ice. He skulks down and asks if anybody is sitting there. The woman sitting next to it sighs sadly and says, “My husband was supposed to be sitting there. We attended every playoff together since 1987, but he died and this is the first time I've come alone.”

“That's so sad,” said the man. “Maybe you should've brought a friend or a relative this time?”

“I couldn't,” she said. “They all went to the funeral.”

Hope you all have hockey fever up in Canada and our American friends... I hope you got a laugh with this joke too... pretend it was football!!

We are leaving St. Augustine tomorrow for Jacksonville for one night. We are meeting a boating couple we met two years ago for dinner. Then the next day we drive northward along the coast and enjoy scenery and sun for awhile. We have been busy beavers putting Coyaba to “bed” for hurricane season.

Shannon, that was so funny! Well, it's probably as safe to drive home and find sunshine here too, as it will ever be. Southern Ontario has moved into summer mode, but here in Maine, the blossoms are only beginning, and the cold and rain are relentless. Enjoy Florida while you can.
