SATURDAY, JUNE 15, 2013

Breakfast at Yesterday's, flower shopping at Canadian Tire and boat shopping at the Whitecap Pavilion started our sunny Saturday morning! Sue and Wayne are driving to Hadashville to pick up hanging flower baskets for the cottages. Flowers now in place have livened up the garden.

Heather and Bruce have joined Sue and Wayne for dinner and dancing tonight.

FRIDAY, JUNE 14, 2013

Good morning world, it's a brand new day! A loon has decided to make the bay his home this summer. Julie got a good pic after several attempts ... they dive in an instant and surface 100 yards away.

Chores today but a party at Joyce and Jim Gauthier's this evening!

The "Pergola" party was LOTS of fun ... a few pictures below.

THIRSTDAY, JUNE 13, 2013 ;-)

Glorious sunny 58 degree morning ... perfect for Scottie dog grooming! Mark has become adept at scissoring and trimming his pups.

Sue and Wayne have gone to Kenora's boat show; a perfect day for a test ride.

Mark and Julie are cooking a pork roast for dinner and puttering around. Bit of a lazy day, you might say.

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 12, 2013

We're off to Redden's to shop for Randy ... a hoodie with an Indian on the back. Sue, Julie and Mark are the shoppers.

That was an interesting store! We found the hoodie for Randy plus a bargain fleecy for $10 ... then off to Walmart for Mark's favorite fish bait. Dang! Sold out of the best bait. Our fish fry is on "hold". :-/

This evening the four of us are going to Borelli's for Italian. No cooking tonight!

While walking down the flagstone to Chippy's ... I got a pic of chippy on the bird feeder. Cute, friendly little guy! Sue is busy getting the short bird bath cleaned up for him. Quite the service around here for wildlife. LOL

Mark installed the new air conditioner and Julie cleaned windows. It's nearly cocktail hour!

Dinner at Borelli's was excellent. Kenora is having a new car and boat show tomorrow so we wandered the docks previewing. The float planes are relics from 50 to 60 years old. Home to watch hockey at 8.

Here on the 49•47' Latitude, the daylight lasts 18 hours at this time of year. It certainly interferes with the body clock unless you block out the light entirely. Julie has her own method ... a black sock over her eyes for sleeping. LOL.

Mark caught a 3 lb. walleye off the dock this morning ... a start for an eventual fish fry dinner. Tonight, Sue and Wayne are in charge of dinner! It's nice to share the meal plans.

Wayne is dealing with a California boat trader this morning while Sue balances the books. After lunch we're going into Keewatin for wine.

Linda, Randy, Jill and Bob popped in for cocktails. It was a beautiful sunny afternoon so we enjoyed wine and conversation on the dock. They are going to Winnipeg tomorrow.

Sue made a delicious salad with avocado while Wayne BBQ'd chicken sausages. It is still as bright as day even though it's evening! Canadian summers are very nice.

MONDAY, JUNE 10, 2013

It's 54 and drizzly this morning ... perfect for a visit from two deer. Sue got a nice pic from her front deck.

The sun appeared at 2 o'clock and we warmed to 70ish. Mark is preparing Shrimp Scampi for tonight's dinner ... Sue and Wayne are coming here, to Chippy's Hollow. Julie baked a pineapple cake and hung a new picture ... of a chipmunk, of course!

SUNDAY JUNE 9, 2013

9 am and into Kenora for Sunday breakfast at "Yesterday's" ... $5.49 for 2 eggs, home fries, bacon or sausage and toast! Hal Hardy and Neil Carlson, RMYC members, were having breakfast there too. They recognized us and came over to say hello.

Back at Chippy's Hollow, Mark setup a spring-closure gate to keep Robbie from escaping to see his girlfriend, Auntie Sue. Randy thinks Sue puts chicken grease on her leg as Robbie likes it so much!!! LOL

Tonight, Mark and Julie are going to see Linda, Randy, Jill and Bob for dinner at their home in Clearwater Bay.
