THE CITY GIRL COMES TO THE ISLAND

I am way behind in my blogs

I guess I will do what I have done once before

Start with today and work backward

Joe is in Algonquin Park with other chaperones

teachers

and

50 students from St. Pat's and

St. Christopher High Schools

Joe has been camping/canoeing with the schools

ever since our youngest son Curtis 'joined the ranks'

way back when............

Our older son Graham

 WAS NOT LUCKY

or

LUCKY

 to have his Dad as a chaperone!!!!!!!

(I'll have to ask him)

I'm holding down the fort with

Bing, Susie and Gwendolyn

I had my friend from Windsor join me yesterday

She went home this afternoon

This evening I am having my Sarnia friend

spend the weekend

It is fun to have some 'girl' time

Everyone knows Donna Mae

When she arrived at the cottage

she was litterly

DRIPPING WET

It is no easy thing you know

getting from the mainland to the cottage

especially if it is

RAINING

She drove from Windsor in rain

Walked down Ferry Dock hill in rain

Waited for the ferry in rain

Jumped on the golf cart in rain

Had the rain coming full force towards her

and the driver as there is no 'windshied'

on the cart as they made their way through the forest

This is much different than pulling your car

into a garage and coming in the house without having to dodge rain

Was she impressed??????

no

Donna Mae immediately got into her warm housecoat

and

ditched her drenched raincoat trousers and shoes

Was she cold????

yup

Interesting experience I would say!!!!!

Welcome to Stag Island

This is Donna Mae

this morning

Warm toasty housecoat

Warm fuzzy throw

Warm cozy fire

Life is good!

As you can see by the sky it is overcast

AGAIN TODAY

It is not raining so that

is a good thing

We wondered where the sailboat

was going and where it was coming from

Gwendolyn was a monkey this morning

She had all her toys out

and would not settle at all

She was in my face

She was licking my ear

She was crawling all over me

I would say

She misses her Dad!!!!!

She would not leave the girls alone

Oh but she is sooooo lovely isn't she!!!!!!!

Finally

She settled

Must run

My Sarnia girl will be here

soon
