Also, as the boat and the dock were coming around the corner of the island, it looked like a procession of loon, boat and dock heading our way, but I didn't have camera in hand, so the moment was lost.Just to show you the calmness of the water, this is right across the lake to another large island with a small boat just heading west. What a reflection, don't you think?
It took about 15 minutes to attached the dock to the large ramp. The
lines that anchor the docks are so visible, so all the chains are being attached
as I'm posting this.
Needless to say, the dogs are happy and supervising the work.
I've not been sewing or posting as the foot is taking a bit more time to heal. All the stitches are out, so only the pin is still attached to the toe. I tell you, this has not been a happy experience, although many jokes at my expense have been told. Friends!
We arrived here Thursday and met the neighbours (no longer new, please note) Kent and Kathleen who helped load us up, they loaded themselves in no time. We were all excited to see each other, anticipating our arrival at the cottages. They had boat trouble, but that was fixed quite quickly and we all had the best day to open our cottages.
Since I'm still recouping, I decided that we should have a pizza night with K & K and also Derek and Helen who had arrived the previous week. What fun we had as we all tried to tell our winter stories at the same time!
Kent introduced a new Spanish champagne...Kava or something like that which was delicious! I mean delicious as I'm not a big champagne drinker at all.
Mary and Bob of course were here to help us open, so, once more we are settled in for the season. Next week, I'm bringing up the sewing machine with the bins of fabric all neatly packed and ready for the move.
My daughter had the best Mother's day, perfume from Alex, and her darling Jeremy went to the ballgame for the afternoon. Absolute quiet for her...bliss.
I remember my son Ted making me a mother's day coffee, he put six spoons of sugar in it, it was lukewarm, as he couldn't use the stove at the age of five. So he used tap water. I drank it while he and the other children looked on with total love in their eyes! My best day ever!

It must be spring you are at the cottage!!!!!
sounds so wonderful
Can't believe it is another cottage year started. Perfect bliss. Take care of your foot. I certainly don't envy your re-coup, but it least it has not prevented your getting to the cottage.
Cheers!
So good to see you Nanci. I've been waiting for 2011 cottage shots and I'm gearing up for some fun posts while Im sitting here freezing my butt off during the Aussie winter.
Rest up and take it easy Madam -it sounds like this surgery knocked you round a bit. We want you whole for the summer!
I recall burnt toast and very milky tea at some stage for Mother's Day. (I'm a coffee in the mornings gal) They're the best memories arent they?
Take care of that foot and enjoy your cottage time!
I am so jealous. We are only able to be at our cottage weekends but soon soon!
Lovely to see cottage pics again! Take care of the foot and you will be running up and down those stairs in no time.
Whoo Hoo back to the cottage!! Give Helen a hug from me :0) I remember getting some lovely burnt toast when my son was little...yummo LOL

Where are you? So busy playing on the lake that you don't have time? I sure hope all is well....
Welcome home to the cottage. It looks so peaceful and relaxing. Summer is bound to be the same.
