Well we made the trek up to clean again but up and back in one day. Sad to only stay a short time but neat just to be there. The bug situation wasn't as bad,no bugs around the water to the cottage but behind it where it's more sheltered the flies that I am sure where sent from hell stlll reign. The three of us worked like crazy and just before it was time to leave my Hubby disappeared and then my Son! When an hour had passed and I couldn't locate them I bellered. Yup!!! Hollered my lungs out. Now I rarely resort to this but I was so tired from walking every where looking for them and the clock was ticking down to when we were to leave. Plus I figured seeing they never do this there was a good chance a bear needed to be scared off. No Hubby or Son answered and I could hear that god aweful call echoing around the lake!!! Poor wildlife, they probably thought some horrid new type of whooping crane had just moved in.!!! So when Son and Hubby didn't answer, they are just ignoring me,what do you do??? Call old some times faithful dog,after all he had trotted off with them!! Well he shows minutes after being called and therefore Son and Hubby are not too far off! Dog stood there amused I think at me being frustrated and was desended on by the hoard of flies!!! Crazy to be rid of them, specially off his ears ,he ran to the lake and in he went! Now that's great! One wet stinky dog to transport back in the car! The two missing ones appeared and they had about two quarts of blueberries! Hummm wild blueberries....maybe I could forgive them seeing they were smart enough to not get eatten by a bear!! They were all excited because they had a neat adventure. They were picking the berry bushes by the water and walking a long when a very large dear snorted at them and moved slowly off. Son had never been that close or heard a deer do that!! It was a large older male that didn't want to move or be bothered so he was voicing his displeasure at being rousted during his day hours nap time! Hubby said he had a full antler set or rack and that he was very large. That's exciting and I wish I had been with them! When I had been looking for them I had come across several large snakes that made the walk worth it and Son and I had seen several large ones up the hill when we came up. But seeing a deer is somehow neater!
Off we left for home and the air would not work in the car, it was very hot so the windows were put down. As we went along we were being covered by a swirling vortex of dog fur. As stupid dried out his shedding fur took flight. A lot was flowing out the window,a white swirling mass rising up and then out! Funny to think of all that fur floating out free as we passed! Every time he shifted a new assult was launched! When we hit our driveway I was relieved to be home,out of the fur and I was tired and sweaty from the heat and work and so itchy from the fur but I was greeted by the neatest surprise!!! Here were all these cars and a bike! Oh!!! All the kiddies were in! I was told to get ready and I was so excited because the thought of what the heck are we going to feed everyone had already crossed my mind. I got showered and ready in record time! We were taken out to dinner by my eldest Son! All of us and we were a huge table! Sean had his first dinner out with us! It was great! I had lobster,crab and shrimp! I tried all sorts of new food that was beyond wonderful! I felt totally spoilt!! In fact I was,came home to cake and gifts and had such a great time. Comes to mind that the sacrifices we wonder if our children ever notice.... well they do! And when they acknowledge and give you extra loving just because...geeee it's great!! Just the effort of everyone getting together,it gets harder as everyone's life gets going in different directions,would have been more than enough but I am so grateful for it all because it was an event to remember!!! But I am soooo tired,I think I did get older,darn! |

Re: Bloggin' Again!
Snakes worth the walk! Ah Marg, now you make me laugh. Your the only person I know who likes to see snakes. Could be that they are deadly here, so it's not really good to come across one! I did a lot of bush walking when I was a kid and had my fill of snakes!!!!
But seeing the stag would of been great, those naughty naughty men!!
LOL That dog is a classic!! I could really picture the clouds of fluff hahahahahaha
What a fantastic surprise! I know having all the family together, you would of loved it!! Yum. all that seafood! My favourite.
Now will you stop all this crazy cleaning and have just a bit of a rest!!
Much love and big hugs,
Cath xxxoooxxx

Re: Bloggin' Again!
Oooh I can picture that Stag. Lovely sight to behold. Come on then, the type of beast, I need to know, I am learning about Canadian wildlife from you here on minti, and loving it. I google them all, so native deer names needed to further my sense of wonder.LOL Was it a Red Deer? The Male Red can be very Majestic. I love them, both on the hill and uhm in the freezer. Snakes, uhm well, the nearest to snakes here for me is the little Adder, a joker if ever there was one, though poisonous he is sensible about sharing his venom.LOL
What a lovely treat, to be wined and dined by your lovely Kids. Envious of your lobster,shrimp fest,hehe. Tired, oh my gosh girl, so not surprised. I dont know how you found the energy to acheive what you did, and being poorley. I do so hope you will be able to put your feet up and look after you for a little while now. Thinking of you.
Luv Winnie.xxxx
