Cottage Time Again

Image
Our tiny but capable boat This year we are heading up to our cottage in the Gatineau Hills just outside Ottawa for a weekend of relaxing, fun and meeting up with family and old friends. Although we spend our entire summers there, we occasionally travel up for the holiday weekend in May. The last time I believe was 2010. We are pretty excited. The weather is predicted to be very good for the upcoming weekend with highs in the mid to high 20s (Celsius) and although we intend to put both the dock and the boat out, it will be a little too chilly for swimming. But there is time for hikes, campfires, BBQs and exploring the area. Mader in better days For past 7 years our pet Mader has been with us and he thoroughly enjoyed "cottage life", from a dog's perspective, of course. He passed away in March of this year and we will miss him. But, we are now appreciating the "freedom" of being pet free after more than 30+ years of having a pet in the family. Storm
