July 9, 2009. Western Head, N.S. Seventy and Sunny.

You can't beat it. All day long, not a cloud in the sky, the sun shining, and the breeze just a light wind in your hair. This is the kind of day you love. The breeze always has a bit of cooling in the air, so even when walking in the full sun, you always feel comfortable. In fact, this is the kind of day you could get a sun burn, because you always feel comfortable, but at the end of the day, your face is burned. I spoke with Suzanne tonight, also Samantha and Allison. They are at the lake for July, with Sarah and Abigail at sleep over camp for one week at the T Bar Tennis camp. Next week Samantha and Allison attend day camp at the same facility. They love the time for themselves with Suzanne. Today they went to the Children's Museum, and tomorrow they are having a day in the boat. David commutes to work for July. The temperature in Texas today was 105 degrees in the shade, and the lake is very low, due to the lack of rain. In fact, the lake is at it's lowest level since the damn was built and the water started to fill up. I am happy to be here, where we are sunny and seventy.

Today, our intention was to drive to the lake to check the marine battery number needed for the boat, then go and send off our package via courier for our purchase in Mississippi. In addition, the truck was full of food and supplies and furniture for the cottage. After we unloaded the truck, I organized the stuff while Ken was checking the battery. As we were leaving, taking the short cut to Bridgewater, we realized that we had forgotten the package of signed papers, so back home we went to retrieve it, before driving to Bridgewater and the courier service. Now it has gone and I hope it arrives on time. Stupidity in action, that was what we were today. The best part of the day was lunch at the Swiss Chalet, a reminder of our youth in Toronto. Ken tried to wire money for the settlement, only to be unsuccessful, so he sent funds electronically with a cheque. They will never accept this at the settlement office, so it is my guess the settlement must be delayed, which will make everyone angry. My goodness, this is difficult.
