One of the great things about moving to Whiteway has been meeting new neighbours who have quickly become new friends. And thanks to new friends Clifford and Shirley George (yes, that is the Clifford George, one of our province’s greatest artists), we’ve become acquainted with Sunny the Goat, and his pal, Misty.

Stay tuned for more Sunny updates. He’s too cute not to blog about!

Although being born in Torbay, I’ve been a townie my whole adult life. And I love St. John’s – not many cities in North America are so unique or have so much history. Here’s a shot my daughter took on her last trip home.

That being said, I can’t be happier that today is not only the middle of the regular week, but also the middle of my ‘St. John’s week’ – the 3 nights we spend in town. We still have business here, but, thankfully, The Berry (my pet name for Laurelyn) has rearranged some things at work so we can spend more time in the Wonderful World of Whiteway.

Meaning, tomorrow we head back to Ocean Delight. What a delight.

I am here in my heart’s delight (near Heart’s Delight) in WWW – the Wonderful World of Whiteway. After almost 62 years chasing my dreams, I have settled here in rural Newfoundland – what we Newfoundlanders call ‘around the bay.’ I have changed career paths many times, and I’ve had a magnificent journey. I have made lots of mistakes, but have got a few things right, too. I’m confidant these new cottages with my partner, Laurelyn, will be one of the ‘rights.’

Now that I have a new home overlooking the sea, and a little (but not a lot!) more time to reflect, I’m inclined to sit with my coffee and write. I want to share what this new beautiful life in Trinity Bay is teaching me.

So I thought I could start a blog. Yes, a blog! One based on my many years of education, employment, fatherhood, and now, most importantly, as a Happy Inn Keeper promoting all that Newfoundland has to offer – I always knew this island was unique, and now I want to share that passion.

So, please stay tuned as I nurture this new career and these new cottages and explore the Wonderful World of Whiteway.
