Home at last!

We are back home for the winter - and, I'm happy to be here! Last week, we stopped in to visit with Penny and Howard on our way to the cottage. What a beautiful house! And, of course, it's decorated like a page out of a magazine! We're invited to have Thanksgiving dinner with them next week. James and Emily are also invited so we will pick them up. Brad, Nev and Bella will also be there - and Penny is hoping Marty and the children will come, too. It should be fun!

Last weekend, we went to Massey. Just north of Burks Falls, we spotted a couple of moose by the side of the highway. It was so cool. There were two females and two calves (which were hidden in the bushes, but they'd been spotted by a couple of the other people taking pictures). We watched them for about five minutes. They didn't seem to be too fussed by all the attention.


The reason for our trip was to attend the wedding of Bern's cousin's youngest son, Anthony to Jodi. It was a lovely wedding held outside - the weather was perfect. We stayed with Jocelyn and Andre (Bern's cousin and her husband).

We had a great time! Bern got a chance to reconnect with some of his relatives. I got to spend some time with Lillian. She's facing surgery to remove one of her kidneys. She has a cancerous tumour growing inside it. Thankfully, it's contained within the kidney. Please pray for her. On the way back to the cottage, we stopped in for a little visit with Ted and Lynn in Sudbury. They're in the middle of renovations and so were happy for the break. Anyway, we only stayed for about an hour and then carried on back to the cottage.

After a couple days of rain and windy weather, we decided to pack up, close the cottage for the winter and come home. I'm so happy to be home! I made an appointment to start Curves tomorrow morning at 10:30 a.m. - the wheels are in motion!
