Saturday, we went to Kings Theatre in Annapolis Royal. To see the John Prine tribute ‘In Spite of Overselves’ performed by the Johnny Max band; sponsored by the Lawrie Group and D’Aubin Meats.
It was a full house. Kudos to Janet Larkman, the volunteers for demonstrating the importance of the theatre in this part of the Valley.
The challenge afterwards, was driving the backroads in the dark to Middleton.
Today (Monday) it felt like time to visit the bookstore, Lunenburg Bound (see posts Lunenburg Bound and Lunenburg Bound Again) .
Given the grey skies, light rain, the colours on the Highway #10 were fantastic. We determined that there is no better bookstore in Nova Scotia. The shelves are maintained, including fiction and non-fiction, new and used books. Books are an essential part of living in rural Nova Scotia.
As we ‘age in place’, access to these community resources are essential. Some days, we think about ‘moving on’. It is the landscape and the sense of community which keeps us in place.
Currently, I am working my way through Allen Levi ‘Theo of Golden’. It may offer a model for ‘Bob of Middleton’. Feedback is sought and welcomed.

POSTSCRIPT
While we drove the colourful backroads of Nova Scotia, Edward and Anne were travelling and painting the backroads of the Kamouraska Region of Quebec.
