We have come to the cottage for Labor Day weekend. Everyone everywhere is at their cottage, the last weekend of the summer. My Wonderful Wendy is at her cottage along with Dave and Irene and Norm and Diane, but they are in Ontario on Lake Joseph, one of the prettiest of the Muskoka Lakes. When we were driving here, we discussed the number of people we will see on the lake. So far we have seen three boats. Those at Lake Jo will find more boats and more people but we will all have a good time although ours will be a quiet one. Not many people around this lake.
Our neighbors just behind came over to say hello. They too are here for the weekend. They told us that further down the lake there are lots of boats. In fact, two boats collided. I sat by the water late this afternoon. The only excitement was when 11 ducks flew by me all together flying very fast. They were light colored and were small. I have no clue what they were except they were ducks. Where is Alice Anne when I need her?
Life is simple at the cottage. Maybe that is why we come. The dishes must be washed by hand. But the Internet and the computer works like a charm. We read and talk and eat. Last year, to get down to the dock I needed a walker. Today I had no problem just walking by myself. And Ken says that the cottage is so small he just holds on to the furniture or the walls to get around. In fact, there is no place to put the walker so we leave it in the truck.
We will enjoy our holiday weekend at the cottage. The sun is supposed to shine so all will be well. The storm coming up the coast will not arrive until mid week. We must be sure to be by the shore to see all the wave action. But for now, we stay in our little cottage by the lake.
