  • Dose of Daily Fantasy

    Somehow I got on a mailing.list, probably frome something I did in Victoria when we were at a marina with lots of magnificent boats for sale, a yacht broker. Can’t quite make myself unsubscribe.

    Here is one of the “cheaper” yachts, most are well over $1M

    This guy would atleast fit on Lake of the Woods ?

  • What to think about…

    Think of the things that make you happy. Create the fuel that destroys depression. Do not think of things that make you sad; think of things that make you happy. 

    · Think of the blessings that surround you. 

    · Think of your friendships, people who love you, who care about you, who are there for you. 

    · Thinks of the gains that you have made in life. You may have had some setbacks, but you have also made progress. Think about that.

    · Think of the good that is spoken of you. People who love you and care for you say good things about you; think about those things. 

    · Think of the days of health, vitality, pleasure. The more you think about that, the more those things are going to come back into your life.

    · Think of the days that were filled with sunshine. Do not look at the clouds; look at the sun. Do not look at the despair; look at the good. Think of yourself taking a walk in the sunshine. 

    · Think of the hopes that lie before you. There is a greater future. Never live in the past. There is another chapter being written for your life, another tomorrow. The page is going to turn.

    · Think of the service that you still can give if someone needs you. Someone needs the gift, the skills, the abilities, the wisdom, the knowledge that only you can give because you are unique, one of a kind. There is nobody else like you.

    · Think of the happiness of others, because there you will find your own happiness. Think about how you can bless other people. Life is an echo: whatever you send out is going to come back. You can have everything in life you want if you help other people get what they want. 

    Remember: You are God’s best!

  • Closing Up

    Closing Up

    It’s that time of year again where fall is well underway and the overnight temperatures are getting close to freezing. That means it’s time to get the cottage ready for winter.

    Boats are away for the winter

    The boys, Eric and Scott come out with me Friday night to execute the Closeup Checklist. The main focus is taking care of anything that will freeze. We empty the fridge and remove food that won’t survive 6-7 months of sitting around in the cold.

    Three big tasks are putting away the boats and cleaning up the dock, draining the water system and winterizing the septic field. We get started, after coffee ☕etc. around 9am

    The boys do all the heavy lifting while I handle septic system. I won’t get into the details but it can be a bit yuckie if you think about it too much.?

    The 3 of us move through the task quite quickly. May hands make light work.

    By about 1:30 were done and heading into Kenora to pick up lunch and drive home.

    Thanks guys, love you, Dad ❤️

  • The Big Apple …

    … tree.

    We have a pretty big apple tree in the back yard that Shirley planted when the boys were quite young. Over the years it has produced a lot of apples and this year has been no exception. In fact it’s probably been a bumper crop this year.

    Picking has taken four half days and produced many 10lb bags that we’ve (Shirley) have given away. There were still some apples on the tree but I’d had enough with picking.

    So, we went to the lake for 4 days and before leaving I’d cleaned up the yard and there were no apples on the ground. We came home to this.

    Sadly, once the apples hit the ground they are bruised and not so nice or, half eaten by wasps and rabbits or just dissolved into mush.

    With renewed energy I picked another 10 bags today. There are still a few (I hope it’s just a few, they are good at hiding) in really hard to get at places. But, I’m done. Nature you win
