The drive to the cottage last Thursday, proved to be a cloudy one!!!
Drove thru downpours...
Sunshine...
And when we reached the cottage...
This beautiful sight!!
The day went from bad to worse...to beautiful again!!
We were able to sit on the sunporch, and watch the most incredible lightning across the lake!!
Early Friday afternoon, we decided to take a run into town...
More fabulous clouds on the way...and some rainfall...
By the time we got back, the skies were clearing up a bit...
And we were able to enjoy a wee bit of late day sunshine...
But...
The BEST was yet to come!!!
This was Saturday morning...
G O R G E O U S !!!!!
To celebrate our anniversary!!!
It was a fabulous day, indeed!!
And the S U N S E T !!!!!
We got the firepit loaded up...and enjoyed the evening...with this fabulous view!!
What could be better???
This was the lake on Sunday afternoon, when we were leaving to come home...
But...
Never fear...
Thursday is right around the corner...and we will be back in P A R A D I S E !!!
***************
Hope you are all well...
We are a bit concerned about our cottage rental in Florida...
We have been unable to find out if it is still standing!!!
I had emailed the owner on Friday...she lives in Tampa, not at the cottage...and she said she was evacuating her townhouse...but the cottage is right on the beach in the Gulf...so...not sure how it faired IRMA....
I cannot even imagine what those people are going thru down there...
I do not think I would be very good in this type of situation...
Scares the hell out of me!!!
Anyway....sending good wishes to all affected...chin up...and all that...♥️
*****************
On the menu tonight...
Stuffed red and green peppers...{the house smells delish}
Fried Basa { a fairly new Fish to us...quite Delicious}...coated in Jerk
seasoning...
Greek Salad...
Enjoy your evening...
Cheers! :o)

Last Fridays drive was pretty pleasant!!
There was plenty of sunshine...but still really breezy!
The temps were in the mid teens...very warm for this time of year...
In Fahrenheit that would be in the mid 60's...
As I was looking out the living room window...
Taking this shot of the grasses blowing in the breeze...
I noticed something bobbing up and down in the water...
The waves would come in...and whatever it was...was riding the waves!
As I zoomed in...really close...
I could see that it was a group of Hooded Merganser Ducks!!
Beautiful!
Can you see them?? In the next picture....
After we had our lunch...
Boyfriend took advantage of the warm sunshine...
I poked around taking pics...really windy!!
And I was busy cleaning up an awesome thrifty buy we got on the way there...
Will show you this week...fantastic!!
After we did the dishes...and tidied up...I looked for my skinny Snowman that I usually hang on the kitchen porch wall...
Could not find him anywhere!!
Found this tiny fridge magnet...with snowmen...and went with this!! hahaha!
Hope you all had a great weekend...
The weather was lousy...but still warm...still dark at 9am!!
Had dinner guests on Saturday night...most delightful...
Old neighbours that moved away 20 years ago...
Love to reminisce about the kids...and lots of parties!!
I cooked a Rack of Lamb that was heavenly...cooked perfectly!!
We are heading out for dinner tonight...
There is a new place that opened in the summer...
Called "Brown's Social House"...they serve a pizza to die for...
I have also had their Burger...excellent...but tonight...PIZZA!
Got some wrapping done today...did my cards yesterday...
I guess I am in pretty good shape...no baking yet...
But I do that closer to Christmas...
I am laughing! hahaha! Still need to get the boyfriend something....hmmmm
Have a great evening...
Cheers! :o)

Ahhhhhh...
Remember these days?
Before the rain started?
Before the leaves started to fall?
Before the air turned chilly?
This was only 3 weeks ago...
And I sincerely...
Hope...
To...
See this again...
Tomorrow...
And Saturday...
Are you all with me on this??
I am sure all of you are horrified at what took place in our country's capital city yesterday...
Frightening to say the least...
Makes me very scared for our children and grandchildren...
This world needs to change...
FAST...
OR we will destroy ourselves...
Take a moment to think of
young Corporal Nathan Cirillo...
Who was murdered senselessly...
While serving this great country of ours...
We have always flown our Canadian flag with great pride...
And will continue to do so for as long as we are on this earth...
Thinking of the families and friends of Cpl. Cirillo...
May they find peace♥️

Hope you all had a great day...
Sunny...breezy...cool here...
Going out for dinner...and to the cottage tomorrow...
Have a great weekend...
Cheers! :o)
