FRIDAY, AUGUST 7, 2013

Yesterday, Mark and Julie drove to Winnipeg to have lunch with Gregg Tawns. It was a good visit ... Mark took Foxy for a walk ... and we had a Subway lunch.  Gregg is recovering from 3 weeks in hospital for pneumonia. Yikes!

On the TransCanada Highway, Mark spotted a doe with two fawns waiting to cross the highway ... We stopped and she cautiously took her kids across right in front of us!!!  Why didn't I get a picture. Duh. 

A few miles further along, we came across a large American bald eagle feasting on road kill with a flock of buzzards!!!  We've never seen that before. Strange. They were obviously getting along by sharing a meal. 

After lunch we drove to Ludwick's Catering in Bird's Hill for cabbage rolls, Wayne's order.  It was nice to see their handmade goods really being handmade!!!  There were half a dozen women rolling perogies. :-)  

Then, we bought a dining set for Chippy's Hollow!  


Of course, it rained on the way home with furniture in back of the truck!!!  Mark drove fast enough that the rain blew over the truck bed. LOL

Once the dining set was in the cottage, Mark helped me finish our new storage center. It was quite a bargain, on sale, at Canadian Tire. 


Meanwhile, Sue and Wayne went to a dinner party at Joyce and Jim Gauthier's cottage.  Apparently it was a good evening!!!  

Today, Mark and Wayne are clearing an area of an old building and dead trees!  This looks like trouble to me. Haha. 


It's "Dock Party" night at Donna and Denis Wallace's cottage ... a chilly evening forecast. Perfect for Kenora dinner jackets and hot toddies. :-)
