CATCHING UP

Son Curtis had some fishing worms in our fridge
Obviously the lid was not on tight!!!!


July 4th
CANADA DAY
Sarnia Marina
Photos taken from my brother's 10th floor apartment


The Duc heading out into the river


People starting to gather for the fireworks


Our motor had broken down so we had to rely on the ferry to get back to the island
so............we could not stay for the fireworks
We waited for the island ferry but it did not come ????????
It was a holiday so last ferry should be 9:40
NO FERRY
We had to borrow our neighbour's boat to get back to the cottage
thanks Ray
Later found out there are not many Canadians who use the ferry during the evening on a holiday
so the ferry driver kept to the regular schedule
That will change next year!

The Duc is now coming back up river
Passed by Pier 90 as we were getting into Ray's boat

Have to get to the island before that sun goes down



This place is going to be rocking for the next week!


This is something I have not seen before
A tug pulling a tug



Queen's Anne Lace
I can remember when our nephew was married
They had Queen Anne's lace shipped to Edmonton from California
To us it is a weed
To other people it is a flower


A heron on land


Sweet Tulip sitting in my Grandma Fisher's wicker chair


The boy is back in the neighbourhood







Joe and I had planned on seeing two of Beau's games in MI
As it turned out Joe could not go as Gwendolyn was having eye issues having meds every two hours for 48 hours
Curt and I stayed in Hastings for the night then took in the game at Western University in Kalamazoo MI



Miss Kelsey dancing on the dock


Beau and his sister Zoe and his girlfriend Kelsey


Gwendolyn had eye surgery last Friday

Zoe protecting Gwendolyn from the spray of the waves


While we were waiting for Gwennie we did a 'good' run to Costco in London
Came home loaded the shelves
CRASH CRASH CRASH
One shelf fell on another shelf and another 
WHAT A MESS
Everything you see here was on one of the shelves
We were very lucky in that only one jar of spaghetti sauce broke
L-U-C-K-Y


Poor Gwendolyn
Two days down eight to go
No swimming in the river for this girl



Sweet girl Zoe reading her book



This is one crazy cat


Oh boy..........Tulip nearly went in the river!





Down the ladder for the first swim of the year
Then it is off the end of the dock!
COLD COLD WATER


Ray helping Ken with his dingy





Devonna opted for the boat rather than the dingy


The extra shed is finished





The BC grandchildren arrive tomorrow


AND..........
The canoe is ready

Good job Joe
