Yes B’y! We Are Honorary Newfoundlanders!

Post by giftofhealth

Yes b’y! Shobha and I are super happy to become honorary Newfoundlanders. Myrtle Hodder Kelly and the Crew – God Luv yer cotton socks for all the love.

We loved every minute of the plantified version of the screech-in ceremony. The whole party was a surprise for us. We wet our feet in the Atlantic Sea Water. We had homemade bread with molasses and partridgeberry jam. We learned lessons about the Newfoundland flag. We had fun rolling off common Newfie sayings. Myrtle and her crew (Marie and Jessie) improvised the ceremony to accommodate our preferences. We had plant-based bologna (Seitan). We kissed the lips of cabbage from Clarence Senior’s farm (lol), and we drank the Newfie spring water from Ida Burkitt’s well.

We had fun saying the Newfie tongue twister, “Indeed we do me old cock and long may your big jib draw.”

Then we got the Newfie Ceremony certificate – Woohoo!
Myrtle – Thank you for the most beautiful quilt. We will cherish it for ages.

It was followed by Jessie Cluett reading the funniest Newfie poem.
