July 9, 2020 HOT

 Dear Darcy,

36 Celcius at home

33 Celcius at the lake

Cameron, you and I arrived at the cottage around 1:30 pm. We all went in the lake! The water is warm - it hardly cools you off at all. You and I went looking for cold springs.

Thursday swam a lot and chased fish, she's so happy.

We put on goggles and explored the bottom of the lake. You and Cameron found an old diving mask and some garbage.

Daddy arrived around 6:00 pm. He was very tired and very hot. We went for a boat ride to cool off before dinner. Very nice. We saw Don and 2 fireflies. 

There was a squirrel at the feeder with no fur on his tail!

Dear Darcy,

A beautiful Sunday. Not hot, but warm enough for a swim.

A nice boat ride. Thursday really has a hard life. I do, too, for that matter!

September 2, 2019: Labour Day. Packing up the cottage. Daddy had to work.

We celebrated Uncle Bum's birthday today. 

(Edit Jan 2021: This was Bum's last birthday.)

Happy 76th birthday Bum!

Eric on the ride home. He is such a good traveling cat, little meowing and not need to cage him.

(Edit Jan 2021: This was Eric's last trip home from the cottage.)
