The surprise was delightful. Betty and Vinal brought dinner to us at the cottage. I knew they were coming for a visit in the afternoon but when they arrived, I discovered that they had bags of food, all made by Betty. This was especially pleasant after our awful lunch.
Our afternoon at the cottage was pleasant with Betty and Vinal. I had just awaken from a rest when they arrived. A cup of tea on the deck was perfect. Then we sat down by the water waiting for the ducks to visit but no ducks arrived. Nor did we hear any loons. As it was the last day of the year to be at the cottage, I wanted to hear the loons. I am told that the loons are most active with their calling in mating season.
Betty is a good cook. Last evening for dinner she cooked savoy cabbage with chicken, served as a soup. It was delicious. In fact Ken ate three helpings. We ate plain crackers with the soup. For desert she had baked cinnamon bread loaf, also a first for me but equally as tasty.
We have now left the cottage in Vinals care. He will take in the dock and the raft as well as the outside furniture. And he will stay at the cottage a time or two in the Fall. Betty and Vinal are good friends and help us with our life. Mostly I do not like surprises but yesterday our surprise dinner hit the spot, thanks to Betty's cooking and our friends visit..
