ISLAND LIFE

BACK ON THE ISLAND.........

Before we left Windsor we went out to have a little visit with Mugan as Joe did not make it home in time for Casey's funeral

Mugan asked if we would like some flowers from the funeral home

We took a tulip.....for Holland

Casey's birthplace

We also took a few other lovely flowers

We told Mugan we would put them in the river as a remembrance to Casey

Two years ago upon our arrival at the island

Casey and Mugan brought us a truck full of wood for our fireplace

We met them at Pier 90

We all helped get the wood out of the truck then Joe and Casey loaded up our little aluminum boat

Once the wood was in the boat there was only room for the men

The ladies had to take the ferry

Unbeknownst to us Casey was terrified of the water

BUT

He got in the boat and away they went!!!

It's one thing to get in a boat

It is another thing to get in a boat full of wood

and

really no place to sit!!!!!!

We salute you Casey

We took what we thought was necessary for the first trip to the cottage

Out of the truck

On to the ferry

Off the ferry

On to the cart

Through the woods

Curtis and Christine opened the cottage for us

Even put the Canadian flag up to welcome us!

First thousand footer to greet us

Bing has settled right in

So has Gwennie!!

Curtis and Joe bringing over another load

You would be amazed as to what we can get in the boat!!!!!!!!!

We've had some lovely sunsets

One morning I was up around 7 a.m.

It was quite warm that day

I found the clouds to be odd

Odd in the way

 I had never seen pink clouds down river early in the morning

It was eerie

We're had some pretty interesting skies as well

and

winds out of the north which make it

COLD

here on the island

Joe has built himself a vegetable garden

This guy sure was making a lot of noice out at the end of the dock

He was honking honking honking

(I see there is a bond on his leg)

She was looking his way but that was as far as it went

I guess he could honk as long as he wanted but she ignored him

I took this shot for our children

The Elder family are putting in a dock

It seems strange to us to look down river

and see a dock

Next blog will feature nature on the island
