But then you could join in a chorus of our favorite song...



'Farewell to Nova Scotia' always brings a tear to the eye...especially when
sung by Catherine MacKinnon.
(or at least the way she used to sing it in her younger days)



$145,000 Gasp! Choke! (but sweeeeeeet)

This is the one he wants:

$40,000 - still more than we can afford - but it is sooo cute - and it
was built in Lunenburg, which has some sentimental value since I am
originally a bluenoser (although my British-born Ontario-raised husband
is more sentimenal about Nova Scotia than I am)

I love the song too. Once, when pressed by my fellow geologists to
"sing a song from your country", I sang it in the middle of the jungle
in Sri Lanka. Nova Scotia never felt quite so far far away as it did
then and there.

(my singing would probably make Don cry too, but not in a good way)
