TOUS UNIS DANS L'ESPRIT

Today we sang the song "We are one in the spirit" in French at church. After church during the social time we spoke with a man from China, a woman from Holland, a French woman all in a matter of a few minutes. It made me realize we as Christians are "one in the spirit" from many different countries worshiping God together. What a great way to start the week!
Meghan attended an overnight with the youth from church, so Dave and I had 24 hours of couple time. We took a two hour walk along the gulf this afternoon and enjoyed the sun, the walk and our time to talk without interruptions. We both agreed how much more time we have spent together doing things as a family without all the distractions of "gotta go here, gotta do this."

Saturday evening we drove to Saint-Goustan to enjoy an evening out on the "water." It was such a beautiful fall evening and we chose this quaint little restaurant on the harbour. We both enjoyed our meals of fresh fish, creamed squash, potatoes, and carrots with peppers. The restaurant was completely full by the time we were served. Since the meals tend to take at least two to three hours there is not the turn over of tables we see in our American restaurants.
We have seen dogs before at other restaurants but we actually saw a dog on a ladies lap trying to eat her mussels. Now that's a new one to us!
