Wednesday, I went down to Lunn’s Mill to pick up some beer – Brickyard Red.
We have a civic address mail box at the same location. Since I remembered the key, I checked for mail. Usually, there are only fliers about food delivery, or from local politicians. This time, I found a key, telling me that there was a parcel. I opened the parcel box and found a package for Heather from Google, addressed to our civic address.
When I returned home, Heather reminded me that Google offered a service, creating books from online photographs. She had used the service when she took a series of photographs on a dog-sledding trip in Manitoba. This time, the book was of our Christmas trip to Iqaluit. It was of double interest since this Spring she had worked with Integrity Printers in Bridgetown to produce a photo album for the family on the same subject.
The surprise was twofold. First, Google would see the business opportunity. Second, they would deliver to our civic address (we have a box number in Lawrencetown).
On a related topic, last night we watched Still Standing – Middleton with Jonny Harris on CBC Gem. We recognized some of the characters. It reminded me of the unique qualities of our small rural communities: Bridgetown, Annapolis Royal, and even Paradise, come to mind.

In two weeks time, the focus will be Oxford, NS. Another community from Heather’s early years.
