I'M OFFICIALLY A NEWFIE - MY 'SCREECHED IN' CEREMONY!
Girls Weekend in the cabin!
When I first decided to move to Newfoundland, my best friend, Linda, told me that she'll turn me into a 'Newfie yet.' I replied with... 'I'll turn you into a cruiser yet.'
Well, Linda did decide to join us on our Girls Gone Solo cruise in November with her daughter. So, to keep my promise, I joined her and our other bestie, Paula, for a weekend in the cabin.
After a fun afternoon of ice fishing on a frozen pond, Paula decided that the ULTIMATE way to 'turn me into a Newfie' would be for me to be 'screeched in.'
This is a Newfie tradition where anyone who visits our beautiful province for the first time can go through a ceremony reciting a Newfie oath, which includes eating bologna, kissing a cod, and drinking a shot of Newfie Screech.
Well, I did it! And I can now officially call myself a 'Newfie!'
