Lazy Days

With family here, we are into those lazy days of summer. The weather has been perfect; warm, sunny days, cool evenings, very few bugs. Sitting on the dock, reflecting on life and what we have done together has been most enjoyable and therapeutic. What fond memories we share.

It was a great day to sit by the water after our trip to Maynooth.

The ladies on the deck, enjoying a view across the lake.

Up close and everyone is enjoying summer.

Looking forward to seeing you up at the lake.

First Visitors

We are "babysitting" a cottage for the month of August. After 9 months in the trailer this is luxury plus. Mary has a full kitchen, we can take a hot shower or bath whenever we please and soak our feet in the lake without driving across town.

Ted and Sharon dropped by to say hi and became our first visitors. They stayed for lunch; turkey and roasted potatoes, which we enjoyed on the deck.


Down at the lake, we had to take off our shoes and test the water temperature. Perfect! Maybe we will go for a swim tonight.

Briar, their friendly bird dog, was curious and had to check out every hiding spot.


Summer, visitors and lazy days by the lake. Hope you can drop by.
Safe travels and drop by for a swim.

Bancroft Home & Cottage Show

There is lots to see and do in Bancroft this weekend.

Up at the curling club, you can take in the Home and Cottage show. Lots of venders and neat things to see.

Down at Mellennium Park, you can participate in the "Relay for Life" It looks to be very well organized.

These are booths set up to assist with all those who participate in the relay; so come on down and lend your support.

Remember, this is also the season for turtles. Please drive carefully and watch out for these little guys.

They are everywhere, busy laying their eggs; often right beside our highways.

Whatever you are doing, have a great weekend.

Thanks for dropping by.
