This is Our Cottage

Alida looked at me and said, “This is our cottage!” and we laughed together. We sat beside each other with our feet in the water and a curious duck only a foot away. I took a few pictures of her – what a beauty.

We live in Cottage Country – at least on the edge of Cottage Country in Peterborough. In the middle of our city is the beautiful Little Lake with it huge fountain. We are sitting on the doc across from the Art Gallery. Our bikes are parked behind us and our bare feet and legs are in the water.

Behind us on the dock is a family from Hong Kong. I came to know that when I introduced myself and began speaking Cantonese with them. The dad was fishing with two younger boys while mom was watching and reading her newspaper.

I tried to get the Chinese man to go into the graveyard to fish with his kids – but he would have nothing to do with that! I told him the best fishing is near the graves the three ministers… but he said “No. People would look at me funny!” Then we laughed togther.

It was a very hot day. We have a very hot house when the humidity is so high so we escape.

We headed back to the house to fetch great grandma and off we went to some cool stores. I love their air conditioners!

The ladies went to Winners and I went to Chapters. Two hours later they picked me up.

A quiet place to read… for nothing… air conditioned and quiet.

Then we topped it off with a easy dinner at A&W… gotta love Papa Burgers or Uncle Burgers or Mama Burgers… and cold Root Beer!

I don’t have to go along the Cottager’s Route as they truck to Cottage Country… I simply watch them go by.

You gotta love when you are blessed… and when you realize that you are blessed! Mmm Mm Mm Mm MMMMM!

BTW – only about 149 shopping days – 5 months until Christmas!
