A WEEK AGO TODAY

We were having company for the weekend.  Our niece, her husband and their friends (our friends too) were arriving Friday afternoon.  I  moved the furniture around so we could all sit comfortably and visit with one another.  It required a lot of pushing, shoving and lifting but I managed to get the task done before they arrived





Unfortunately for my husband's liking
I had disturbed his little TV sitting area


HOWEVER


Sometimes you have to do what
you have to do to
accomodate your guests




Susie and Bing were oblivious
to what was going on




We were ready!


Gwendolyn and Bing decided to have a nap
Gwendolyn had the sofa first
then
Bing jumped up and snuggled right in




Bing is awake
I think he is thinking
Do I smell something?




Maybe
Let me get a closer sniff!!!




NAH
but
I think I'll change my sleeping position

SATURDAY

Rain rain
Go away
Come again
Another day


Here we are waiting
for the golf cart
to take us to the ferry

We are going off the island
to attend our friend's
ARIZONA PARTY




Our niece reading right up
to the last minute




The carpenter re-adjusting
his rain pant suspenders




Talk about being prepared for the rain
The friend has on a rain jacket
AND
a cape
AND
even has the hood up!




Everyone is now
outfitted with
cottage rain gear

SUNDAY

A COOL DAY




PERFECT

A book
A blanket




PERFECT

A good book
A good dog by his feet




PERFECT

Two books
Two people.......
A husband and his wife

I have to say........

Having company like this is

PERFECT

Everyone is very comfortable
doing their own thing!






The breakfast table is set for....



10 a.m. brunch

EGGS, EGGS, EGGS

ORDERS, ORDERS, ORDERS

Fried, centre hard
Poached, centre hard
Poached, centre soft
Fried, sunny side up




The three girls and the dog
went for a walk-about
on the island






Someone made a bird house
cemented the wood and added
pretty stones




A cute little shed
with 'pail' filled flowers




Gwendolyn cooling off
The walk is half over




A great make shift bench





Fall is on the way!!




The meadow was full of wild flowers





What a lovely site to see
on our way back




Now
Who would have thought???




Dinner is served




I must say
This is a colourful plate
