OK, well I've made my big return to PEI. The last few days have been fairly interesting to say the least....
On Wednesday Bob and I went out the the Hutterite colony in Winnifred, and preg check a bunch of cows. I got a tour of their rotary milking parlour- which was pretty neat. I dont know much about dairy herd health, so I found it pretty interesting. Bob was joking with the Dairy manager about how I need to be set up with a rich rancher, and the hutterite guy said, " we've got some single ones, but theyre not rich"! Anyway, on our way out, he says to me " Good luck on your search for a husband!" and then Bob proceeds to tell me that the hutterites feel sorry for people like me, (older than 20 and unmarried!), because there's basically no hope for me, Im going to be an old maid! hahahah My god I near died laughing!
Anyway, early early Thursday morning, I borded the plane to head back East. From Toronto to Charlottetown, I sat beside DOC WALKER! They were on their way to the country concert! I didnt recognize the guy that sat with me, but I did recognize the other two. So I said to him "Are you who I think you are????" and he burst out laughing and said " I dont know, who do you think we are?" and so I said " You're Doc Walker!" and sure enough, I was right. I spent the next 2 hours talking to them about anything and everything!
That night, we found out that Big and Rich was going to be a Peakes! So, of course, we went down. They had just arrived on PEI at 11pm, and showed up at the bar at 1am. Big Kenny didnt come, but John Rich did. They said no pictures, so I got to stare at him for a bit and then decided to go home, because I had to work at 8 the next monring.
While at work on Friday, my boss asked me to work on Saturday and Sunday.....EVEN THOUGH HE KNEW I HAD TICKETS TO THE CONCERTS! I agreed to work Saturday from 8-4 because I only wanted to go in time to see the wilkinsons at 530. After Tim, we went to the sandbox bar and who did we see but DION PNANEUF ( Calgary flames defenceman!!) Only having gotten to bed at 1am, I wasnt all that aware of what was going on at 5am Sunday morning, when my phone rang. I am on call this week- and there was a foal that had to go to surgery....so off I went. After the surgery I went to the apartment to sleep before heading back to the concerts.
Anyway, as a whole, the festival I thought was a huge success. Well organized, great weekend weather size, and overall a good time had by all!
Now it's time to go to work for a few hours!
Taa Taa for now!
