Tag Archives: Lake Ontario

Remember the weekend…

I know most of us are already looking forward to this coming weekend, but just so I don’t forget – last weekend we took a little drive over to Lake Ontario.

Ok. So really we were just heading to do some grocery shopping, but since that big beautiful lake was just another couple of miles west – why not?!

We decided to check out Sandy Island Beach State ParkUntitled
We walked along the shore

and I stuck my toes in the lake. (Not too cold, by the way.)

It was a lovely day, and by the time we had our little ‘lake fix’ the beach area was filling up. We willingly gave up our parking spot and went on our way to run those errands.
We’re pretty sorry tourists these days, so I felt pretty accomplished that we at least made it to Lake Ontario. Now to see if we can’t get to see the Salmon River Falls this coming weekend!
I’ll keep you posted!

 

 

It’s Saturday Morning….

…the dishes are done, the bank statement is balanced, the credit cards have been reconciled, and the trash has been taken out. I’ve even done WORDLE for the day! Seems like a good time to finally do a little ‘catch-up’ blog post!
It’s hard to believe we’re already 2/3rds of the way through our June SOWER project! And they’ve been busy weeks, indeed! We ladies started out washing windows.

And then we moved to the tabernacle and washed some more windows.

But I have to say, if you have to wash windows, at least we were able to enjoy the view!

While we were busy washing windows that first week, the guys were handling a variety of other tasks. Most of them are undocumented (I was busy washing those windows, remember?). Their jobs included (but were not limited to) painting,

shovel leaning =)

and hazmat suit wearing.

Apparently some racoons had gotten into the insulation in the attic of one of the camp’s cabins. Mike and Russ gave it their all  as they cleaned up the mess and got that cottage livable again!  While they were working in those hazmat suits,  Gary just kept painting away!
Untitled
I guess that’s the perk of being the oldest guy on the project!

But while we all worked hard these last two weeks, we also had some lovely down-times too!

 

 

Like the boat ride we enjoyed last weekend thanks to a cottage owner.

Or the campfires we’ve enjoyed – one with just the 6 of us-

Or like last night when it was quite the crowd!
Untitled
The evening ended with a lovely sunset (and we could even see the skyline of Toronto in the very far distance! But you’ll have to trust me on that. It’s only a iPhone, guys!)
Untitled
We’ve explored different Amish stores, checked out the neighboring lighthouse,
Untitled
eaten fresh strawberries, and did a sampling of ice cream testing at a couple different spots! Although we’ve had a couple of rainy days, when the days have been lovely, they have been lovely indeed!

Life on the Lake – yep, it’s been pretty fine!

And now it’s Saturday afternoon – and I’d better hit that ‘publish’ button before it becomes Saturday night!
Thanks for stopping by!
