Well were do I start here without yapping on and on? We packed the van as the plan was to camp out in it and we needed the space with the huge air compressor and all the tools we had to take. The dog knew something was happening so when his food pail went in last we had a crazed animal,all excited because he knew he was going! He slipped out the door and straight into his seat where he parked , statue like, and waited. Remember Janice how he liked us taking his seat? LOL!
Trying to get everything done and ready was never ending,one thing after an other and it took into the afternoon to get it all under control. We left for the trip that takes about and hour and half with me already tired from all the stuff and from packing! Yes...for those of you who know I do have pnuemonia and I thank you so much for all the well wishes!! That helps so very much! My plan to rage against the grems is slowly working but the big P sucks,drains the life out of you and has attacked me so many times I have lost count. I really didn't want to go but some time you have to aid when the body is not willing....stupid body!
The drive was worth it! Everything is so very lush,lots of rain and heat and everything is just shinning and glowing in the bright sunny day. The fields are growing and the hay was being taking off some,others had bails waiting to be picked up and eveywhere there were beautiful veiws. The drive lane into the cottage has grown in and the branches washed against the van as we wound our way up to the cottage. That evening was preparing supper and unpacking,getting ready for all the chores!!! But the best thing was spending time with Sean!!! I have spent hours but now I had almost a week to get to know this little being!!! I have had my thrill as a Grandmother!!!!!!!!!!! He gave me his very first belly laugh! And his little eyes light up and he kicks with glee when he sees or hears me!!!! How perfect is that??? What better gift on earth is there???? I am sooo a Grandmother!!!!
What hit me was not having Janice and Steve with us. And the very first thing my eyes settled on when I went in the cottage was the Gut Rock...but maybe that is an other story?!? Day one was stripping out and preparing the room for flooring. Buy the late afternoon I had cut and installed two layers of underlayering for the hardwood and the guys had put the first toughest rows in. The second day the room was almost done. As they worked away I washed all the endless windows and did the walls down and cleaned everything. The third day I moved downstairs and cleaned everything there! I was really proud of that job as I cleared out everything extra and got the place sparkling! I wheelbarrowed everything to it's proper place ..over to the metal pile for the scrap metal,to the drive shed with the extra plumbing pieces and the junk such as extra vacuums and lamps and general stuff to the van to go to the charity shops. The drive shed has a new resident,a rather large ground hog took exception to my arrival. I explained that squatters rights were indeed his but that I needed to store this stuff. He understood and allowed entry but I kept an eye on him incase he was sneaky. The next day the guys cut the lawns and I was forcefully removed from the lawn mower I had filled and started. SO unfair,but then life some times is! So I wheel barrowed wood to the fire pit. Would have rather thrown it but I gave in to their buttoned down world....geeessss! I weeded and cleaned up the fire pit which is a 60 by 20 raised area down by the water edge finished in terra cotta patio stones. Interesting balls that poofed orangy yellow spores had grown in the middle of the stones. Neat to see as the colour drifted across in the air. Geee this is long!! and I wasn't going to go on! Guess I'll tell the rest tomorrow!!! |

Re: My Adventures
Like you Marg i am doing this a 2nd time, did do one last night but wasn't totally with it and must have forgotten to save it, silly duffer i am!
Reading your blog this time i could picture frame by frame, exactly what you & hubby was up at the cottage...still wished with all my might that we were with you all, though.
I so hope the next lot of visitors appreciate all your hard work, especially down on the patio near the lake and that they also love toasting Marshmallows over an open fire.....pity our boys didn't like the idea...hehe!
 I'm so glad our little beauties were still around, hope there was still some food left for them.
Dear Marg, i was there with you, waiting for you to walk in the door to greet you "My Gut Rock".
I know how much all this hard work had taken out of you & hubby and with you both not well at all...please for me, have some quiet time, rest up so your bodies can start on the road to recovery....PLEASE!
Missssssssssssssssssssing you, your nature buddy, xxxx
