Had a great weekend here at the cottage. Much better than the week of intermittent rain and cool days.
Josh arrived and it was rainy. Figures. But I had put a roast in the oven and had dinner on the table in minutes. Very domestic of me, no? I just needed the apron. Anyway, we shared a bottle of Reisling and later had apple pie.
We watched "Nim's Island", a new release DVD with Abigail Breslin and Jodi Foster. We both really enjoyed it. Then we caught some of the Olympics.
Sat morning we moved in my new cabinets for the bathroom. 1 plumber out of 4 finally called back. He can't install for over a week but I said "fine" and that's that. Still needed to pick up the linen tower since I hadn't had room in the car. Then I got my car stuck in the driveway (fresh gravel from the remake). We took Josh's car into town but the cabinet wouldn't fit. I was not happy but he bought me ice cream to make me feel better. Yeah - that helped. I got CAA (auto club) to Unstuck my car then we had lunch on the beach. I went back to town on my own to get the cabinet, leaving Josh to enjoy the sun. When I returned I saw that he had hauled up 3 loads of rocks from the beach to use in my new garden! What a guy. Earlier in the morning he had set up my new printer since I could get more work done here with a printer.
We dressed up and went out to "The Rock". Had wonderful filet mignon and strawberry cheesecake. Then we went to "Old Love" a wonderful play in a small tent. Very funny. Very well acted. You would have all related to it. Starred only one couple who played all the parts but it was about being in your 50s and starting over after a death and a divorce. Both people had been cheated on yet it was handled in a very light way. You really felt for the actors. The tent was alongside a gorgous lake and of course it was a full moon. We had to walk along a dark path lit by lanterns from our car to the tent. It was really romantic and I will remember it always.
Saw some of the Olympics. Canada finally has 4 medals.
"Oh Canada, our home and native land"... Nice to hear our national anthem too!
Morning coffee in the gazebo while a mist lingered over the lake. Moved the final cabinet after breakfast right into place in the bathroom. I attached the handles and I'm thrilled with the way things are shaping up here. We also put a mattress pad on the new mattress and are thrilled with the nautical look of the new bedroom. White wicker and powder blue walls. I just LOVE it!
Josh found my glasses yesterday and I found my camera today. I HATE losing things. Ok, that's 4 for 4 things that I lost then found this week.
I won Scrabble - YEAH! Josh brought up more rocks for the garden. And I made banana splits before he left. So sad he has to go back to the city when it is an absolutely perfect day here.
I, too, have to go home tommorrow. I have so much to do for the dance studio. Here I don't want to work - just want to bang on my drum all day -well, something like that.
Brandon is coming here next week with his friends so my final putting away of stuff from the reno has begun.
And Friday night's dinner was so good that I decided to make it again tonight and finish all the wine we didn't finish together. What an awesome goal!
Happy Sunday!!!
By the way, U.S. Friends - that Mike Phelps is AMAZING!
