Sunday, June 24,2012 Walking at the LAKE - yay

What a lovely surprise, Valerie phoned to say she could drive us up to the lake today, Bill and Gaye would be going as Bill was planning to repair a broken pipe under our little Cottage...he did - such a smart handy guy!! So there we were, and how lovely, Mac kept saying, this is such a super place, what a good buy this was..when did we buy these places.  I told him twenty-five years ago, well that was such a good idea then, said he..  Several times in the past few weeks Mac has said we should get rid of those places up north, we should go and get some of our things and then sell them.  Today was completely opposite as he sat on the deck contemplating the lake, enjoying the quiet and the sun, what a perfect gift - a trip to the lake, i swam to the raft and back and to top it off, a happy contented Mac.

When we took a walk around the Horse Shoe rd and back about a 40 minute walk, we saw the house  that started us becoming cottagers in the first place.  That is Mac's sister's cottage, when she died about 28 years ago now, we became legal tenants of her cottage, we then became enamored of the whole cottage and lake scene, so decided to buy, and so did, right on the lake. His sister's cottage was across the road from the lake and not really ideal. Our two cottages  - actually cabins, are , and have been a precious part of our lives, especially mine.   We will  probably have to sell or not be able to be able to go up as much as we did when Mac was driving as then,  we could go and come whenever.   but as Mac reminded me today, we've had fun and times change and we have to face that fact. and he did have a good memory of our past days at the lake, well the buying of the cottage in particular,  so a happy day...

Of course this can change and usually does as he was not so contented when on the way back we went out for an asian dinner...guess we had a little too much action and  difference in our days.  For most people with A. it is always good to do the same things at the same times, its regulated,  but gives a more secure feeling ..our weekend although stimulating, perhaps was a bit much, so no way would he eat dinner, he was not hungry, or happy.   He really enjoys one on one, conversations.  When we are all chatting away, he gets a little lost in the conversational hubub.  So slept on the way home and is asleep now. so...g'nite.
