The cool breeze is in the air which means Autumn is coming and we are going. Yesterday we had the last party at the cottage, eight good friends eating hamburgers and chicken on the deck. No swimming. Tomorrow Ken and I and Vinal go back to the cottage to bring in the dock and store the furniture. I bring sheets and towels back to the house, also clear out the refrigerate. Soon the plumber will close down the water system, all ready for the winter.
Thursday we begin the drive home, leaving early. Today Ken has harvested the vegetables, to be given to Jackie and Bryan for their use. The food bank is delighted to have any extra fresh vegetables, a suggestion of Jackie's and a good one. All the traditional endings are under way. Tonight we dine with Gill and tomorrow night with Gary and Barbara to say good-bye. The weather this summer has been extraordinary, warm and sunny all of July and August. No one recalls such sustained beautiful weather. But now summer is over and we will say goodbye to our friends.
Two weeks ago, we were all at a big party. It turns out that several people at the party had colds. Unfortunately, Gill, Mary, Cliff and I have come down with this bad cold and we are all suffering. Miserable being ill. People who are ill should stay home, not spread their germs. I accomplish by work in fits and starts of energy, hoping I will soon get better.
