Hope you had a great New Brunswick Day Weekend!  The weather was gorgeous, sunny and warm, great beach weather (nice change after all the rain this summer).  You haven’t heard from me for a little while as Mama was away in Europe with her friend Heather and I’m not comfortable using the computer without her. 🙂   I’m so happy she’s back home and so is Papa.  Lisa came to stay with us for a nice visit while Mama was away, and we really enjoyed it.  She was experimenting with some new dishes that we just loved.  We had some great day trips to St. Martins for lobster rolls and New River Beach for ice cream.  Lisa took a picture of my paw print in the sand (see my signature below). Mama totally missed the strawberry season which was short this year with all the rain.  Our gardens went nuts while she was away, and she couldn’t believe it!!!

She hit the ground running asa she got home with out-of-town buyers flying in from Ontario that day after she landed.  She picked them up at the Hilton and away they went on home tour.  Two days later she was in a bidding war on a prestigious property for another couple in the valley and hasn’t stopped since.

The market is still short on listings, especially high-end or properties in mint condition.  We’re fortunate that we have some to offer and appreciate the interest we have.

I was scared early this morning with the thunder and lightning!  Mama got up early with me so that I wouldn’t be alone.  As soon as I see her face and hear her soothing voice, I feel better.  She’s showing a gorgeous property today in this pouring rain, but she says that it’s a good way to show buyers that there are no leaks or water issues!  The proof is in the pudding.  Personally, I hate the rain and will barely sneak out today for a few minutes under the canopy of the roof over our front entrance.  Then back into my cozy house.

Hope you have a great weekend and continue to enjoy the summer.  I think I’m having a barbeque on Saturday with friends.

Talk soon,

Your pal
