A Visit with the Chisholms


Blair and Joan's Beautiful Home
A jaunt to St John, New Brunswick specifically, Hampton, and even more specifically, Nauwigewauk, had us camping in the driveway of our travelling friends, Joan and Blair.  We met this wonderful couple in 2006 in Llano Grande, TX, camped beside them in 2007 and they joined us in Arizona in 2008.  Blair is an antique car buff and in 2010, he and his wife joined 120 other like minded car buffs and travelled across Canada in his 1960 Thunderbird, a car that  Blair has fully restored from the ground up.  It is a beauty!
He and Bill worked on car window and door adjustments during the week, we took a trip to Calais Maine, a driving tour of the St John area, a trip to St Martens and the caves with a feast of clam chowder. shopping trips into St John for Joan and me and cards every night but one!!!!.  WE had so much fun and so many laughs.\( I have a photo of Blair's car and when I find it I will post it)

Wish we lived closer so that we could visit more often...who knows when we will get together again.  Even our winter destinations do not match up as Joan and Blair are Florida bound and we are off to California.  We will Skype our visits!  We treasure the short time we had together and pray that we will again have a chance to visit!

Nauwigewauk's Covered Bridge
The village of Nauwigewauk boasts a volunteer fire department and a short covered bridge...blink and you miss them both.
