At the Cottage...


Hello everyone.. 
How are you all doing?  
We woke up to a rainy day here at the cottage ... 
This is what I saw at the end of our street when I went for a little walk ... 


They are out there waiting for tide to come in so that they can get back into the harbour.. 


I expect they are making their breakfast.. 
I wonder what they are having... 
Lobster rolls???  
I think not.. smile.. 


A couple more a little further down .. 
My cousin who goes out fishing quite often says that they either nap or make a big breakfast while they wait.. 
Lobster season will soon be over, I expect.. 

As you probably noticed I am not blogging like I should.. 

We have been trying to clean out a lot of stuff here as we settle back in.. That effort takes time and energy which I don't seem to have a lot of lately.. smile.. 
Our sweet grandsons came out and gave us a hand the other day.. 
Grandpa and I sure appreciated it.. 

Anyway.. 
Because of going back and forth to home and such I have not been on the computer much.. 
This afternoon I was on the phone to an old friend and I said that I didn't have many pics for putting on a post.. 
She told me to just pick up my camera and go around the house and then POST.. grin.. 
So... Dawn.... 
Here are some quick pics around the old cottage... 
You can see for yourself on Friday, Lord willing.. grin.. 









Just a few little spots here about the place.. 
Today was rainy as I said and whenever I took a break I looked at some of this stuff on our old trunk coffee table.. 


It was kind of fun to find some magazines and cookbooks that I found while trying to clear the place...

Have you read the version of the New Testament called The Message.. 
Very interesting.. 

Did I show you how I covered one of my favorite poetry books last year?  


Make a cover with some gift wrap and glue an old photo on the front.. 
I love this book and it was getting a bit tattered and torn... 


Just needed some tape and such to keep it together.. 
I marked some of my favorite poem pages on the front.. smile.. 

Well, I guess it is time for a pot of tea.. 
The sun has come out this evening and it is beautiful now.. 
Tomorrow is to be sunny and bright.. 
Goody... 

Take care dear hearts and sorry for the pathetic post but it is all I have.. 
May God bless and keep you.. 
Hugs..

Loving the Weekend..


Good Evening everyone.. 
How are you all doing? 

We had a wonderful long weekend here in Canada.. 
It was a very busy one but really enjoyable, too... 
We started it out by going to our old cottage down by the Bay of Fundy for a night.. 
Our first night there for the season.. smile.. 


I so love the Bay and enjoyed the sound of the waves and all.. 
The tide was out when we first arrived but came in later, of course.. 
Terry had to start cleaning up the yard.. 
A very big job as the Winter must have been quite awesome this year.. 
So many fallen branches and such.. 
He did accomplish a lot but we need to keep going down for a day or two a week until we go full time.. 

I started cleaning the cottage.. 
I managed to get the fridge, stove, cupboards and floors and such done.. 
Still much more to do.. 

It seems to take me three times as long as it used to.. 
Old age... Oh well...
 It will get done when it gets done... smile.. 

We enjoyed our supper on the stoop ... 
So nice doing that.. 
I love Spring ... 

The rhubarb is coming along rather slowly..
Our Spring has been so late but it is here now, thank the Lord.. 

We only stayed the one day and night.. Terry had to pick up a bush cutter he had rented to use up at the old farm... 

We had some family visit.. 
She kept me company while Dustin helped his Dad.. 

Out in the back field cutting down bushes... 

A little lad is watching Grandpa..

Doing a scary job.. 
Putting up the new flag.. 
At least this year he has a better ladder.. smile.. 

Sorry but you need to read the story to see what I mean.. 
It was not so scary this time... grin... 

The sweet lad in the middle is having a birthday... 

He is eight years old now.. 
They grow up so fast.. 
Happy Birthday, dear.. 

And on Sunday we had a wonderful service ... 

We are so blessed to attend this little church.. 
The youth were all at their annual Youth Convention celebrating their walk with God and enjoying sweet fellowship.. 
Five of our grandsons were there.. smile.. 

Today we were back out to the farm for a few hours doing a bit more bush cutting.. 
I scrubbed and waxed the old kitchen floor and made lunch.. 

But now the long weekend is over and we are back home.. 
I told Terry we had better stay home for a few days this week so I can catch up with my housework... 
Laundry has piled up while we were running the roads but it is great to be able to do these things together.. 
Retired life has it's moments.. smile.. 

He just informed me that he is going to the cottage again tomorrow with our other son to fix something down there.. 

This old gal is staying home and washing towels.. 

How about you? 
Did you have a good weekend? 

Thank you so much for dropping by and I look forward to your sweet comments.. 

Please keep my sweet blogging friend Donna's husband in prayer for healing.. 

Thanking God tonight for his grace and mercy and His healing power.. 
Hugs..
