I'm a bit sad today.  Fay has found a new friend here in New Brunswick and I'm feeling a bit of a third wheel.  She met Mr. Pugsley the first day we were here but she didn't really catch his eye until yesterday when he decided she would make a lovely companion.  Mr. Pugsley has those kind of eyes that just make you melt so I really can't blame Fay.  I have to admit that his sleek black hair trimmed with that tidy silver does kind of catch my eye too but I have resisted his bold advances.  Fay continues to act with the utmost decorum but I know she's weakening in the light of his obvious charms.  It's probably a good thing we're leaving Fredericton Tuesday morning or Fay might just find herself overcome.  Oh.  Didn't I tell you? Mr. Pugsley's a dog.

  (Mr. Pugsley is so enamoured that he grovels at Fay's feet given the chance)

This morning we went to church at Rusagonis Baptist Church.  No it isn't pronounced Russ-a-goan-us.  It's Rush-a-gorn-ush.  I have an inkling that perhaps New Brunswick has invented its own alphabet but that's just a theory.  Rev. MacDonald and his congregation welcomed us with open arms and we enjoyed wonderful music and a thought provoking sermon about showing God our love through worship. 

My brother decided to cook lunch for us.  I like how my brother cooks lunch.  We drive to Porter's Diner, slap our behinds down into a booth and feast on burgers and fries.  Oh! And pie:)

Now one would think that because it's Sunday and we car pooled in my sister-in-law's van that I wouldn't have any stories about my directional driving challenges to share.  Not so!  I, in my naivety thought a trip to Rusagonis to visit my other brother would be a piece of cake.  I can't help but think that when a sign says 'Rusagonis' and it points down a road in a very definite direction that one would find Rusagonis on that road.  I drove the full length of the road marked 'Rusagonis' and found nothing.  Turning around, I could only assume that the road labelled 'Waasis' was where I wanted to go.  Taking that route, I found the bridge and intersection that is the centre of Rusagonis.  Sigh.  I spent the afternoon enjoying a visit and Fay enjoyed an afternoon recovering from my ADHD-driven pace over the past three days.  Mr. Pugsley was quite put out that Fay didn't invite him to snuggle alongside her.  He'll get over it.
