Miramichi Blog

The Miramichi Blue Grass Festival is underway this weekend at the Familyland Campground in Loggieville. Dirk was on the scene last night and captured some great shots.

A few weeks ago we headed to Mighty Grand Falls country on the bike.

Sometimes you get bored on the back of a bike after a few hours, so I decided to take some pictures. You can see my reflection in the mirror. Kinda cool.

Our destination was Muniac Park, near Perth Andover which was a beautiful place to stop for a rest.

If any of you know my hon, you know he's going to love having his picture on the internet!

Muniac Park was packed! It was a sea of bikes, tents and people all weekend. The mountains made a beautiful backdrop and the weather was perfect. The organizers did an excellent job of keeping us all fed (bbq steak), watered, and entertained with live bands and competitions.

Some of the bikes were sweet!

On the way home, one of the guys we were travelling with let us stop at his house to pee (can I say pee on the blog?) and he had this big freakin pot-bellied pig! Scared me to death!

...I wish I could remember his name...Wilbur maybe?

Over & out...

We work hard here at Mighty Miramichi, but we like to have fun too. When Terry was recently away on vacation we emailed him these pics to let him know all was well...




Actually, it was so nice out this week that we held a few staff meetings at the picnic table. We just imagine it's our own big boardroom.




My desk wasn't really that messy...for the record.

Friday's just feel different don't they? Today in particular there seems to be a spark of anticipation in the air. This week has been a short one for me since I had last Friday and this Monday off. I took a little vacation time and went to the Carleton County Toy Run at Muniac Park, near Perth-Andover. I have some pics that I'll post later.

This morning started with Leslie & I going to the radio station in Blackville, Life 107.5 to record the Mighty Miramichi Business Catch of the Day for the next 4 weeks. Leslie has the day off today and he plans on attending the Blackville Fair. How much fun is he going to have?! He promised to take some pics so check back later.

Ok guys i need to get rid of some kittens.
They are eating and drinking on their own and using the litter box.
I know mark and melanie want one. RIGHT!!
And as you can see mommy is very tired.

What is a blog anyway?
 
We get several visitors everyday to our blog site on Bread 'n Molasses, but there are many viewers asking themselves, "what is a blog?" Well the answer is simple.
 
A blog is basically a journal that is available on the web. Blogs are alternatively called web logs or weblogs. However, "blog" seems less likely to cause confusion, as "web log" can also mean a server's log files. The activity of updating a blog is "blogging" and someone who keeps a blog (like Mighty Miramichi) is a "blogger." Blogs are typically updated daily using software that allows people with little or no technical background to update and maintain the blog. Postings on a blog are almost always arranged in chronological order with the most recent additions featured most prominently. A blog is often a mixture of what is happening in a person's life and what is happening on the Web, a kind of hybrid diary/guide site, although there are as many unique types of blogs as there are people. So that’s the long version of the story.

Blog site of a 20-year-old
 
Who ever said Miramichi is boring? Last week, I thought I would delve into the latest craze of the World Wide Web and start my own personal blog. I spent most of the weekend (in between Irish Festival events) posting several entries to the site. One thing about keeping a daily journal, which is intended for public consumption is that you're always searching for something interesting to write about, or hoping to come across things that will make readers come back time and time again. I encourage all readers of Bread 'n Molasses to take a look at other blogs created by members of the Mighty Miramichi community. Some of these links are featured on the left-hand column.
 
Happy Blogging!

Canada's Irish Festival officially kicked off earlier today. The Festival runs all weekend so if you missed today's festivities plan to drop by tomorrow and check it out. It's always a great time! Until then, enjoy these pictures taken today.
 

Canada's Irish Festival happens this weekend. I was looking through the blog archives and found this post I wrote last year after attending some of the events for the first time. Reading that sealed the deal for me, look for me at this year's event taking pictures and notes for an article in Bread 'n Molasses. I wouldn't miss it for the world! Hope to see you there!

I updated our Currently Reading list yesterday. It's easier to use All Consuming to keep track of all the books. The only problem is occasionally I run across a book that doesn't show up in the search. Thankfully, this doesn't happen very often, but it happened with this last update.

Mighty Miramichi's good buddy, Squire, is reading "Ancient England" which unfortunately doesn't show up on the All Consuming search.

So, here's the scoop from Squire:



Squire is just finishing up on a wonderfully illustrated Book named Ancient England. Written with many photo's and illustrations by Nigel Blundell & Kate Farrington the large hardcover is a must read for all History buffs. The book walks us easily through the complete growth of England as a Nation and Culture. From Clans of the Stone Age to Modern Government and Construction. This book is available locally at your Public Library and the wonderfully assembled hardcover large format is meant to be picked up over and over...

Terry, leader of the Mighty Crew, took these pictures while out and about Canada Day and at the Rock 'n Roll Festival that evening. Look closely, you never know who you might see -- Birthday girls and everything! :-) Happy 40th birthday to Helen from Fredericton, from the Mighty Miramichi!

Thanks Andrea! She sent me this picture of the Mighty Miramichi crew in the Canada Day Parade. Doesn't everyone look like they're having a great time? You can't see me, Wally or Brianna, we're in the van.

Happy Canada Day from the crew at Mighty Miramichi!
