They have a cottage right across the road from us but they are not on the water, so they use the public beach just two lots down to swim and boat. Right at the beginning, we told them to use our beach and our dock, and our boat ramp. They live in Milton and come to their large cottage for weekends, bringing family and grandchildren along, so they have enjoyed our waterfront. We are not at the cottage often so having people around is a good thing, so it helps us too.
This morning, Heather and Ross came over to say hello and to chat. They both were born and raised in Nova Scotia and have lived in Liverpool or Milton all their lives so they both have wonderful accents. I love to keep them talking. We caught up with all the activities of the cottage life. In the past, they have not allowed their grandchildren to use our little beach if we were staying in the cottage. Today, I assured them that the children were welcome to swim whether or not we were there. We had told them before but today was the first time they understood that we really meant it, so the children swam while we talked.
One of the things we talked about was coconut cream pie. Heather had just baked a pie. When she found that we liked it, she went home and returned with two large pieces of pie, each a quarter of the pie each. After they left, Ken and I ate a horrible lunch of leftovers which I found in the freezer of the cottage fridge. Ken ate three bites. But we both ate the huge piece of pie each. Today we just got lucky.
