Morning Friends!

Coffee is on. I need it today. Anyone want Baileys?

Leaves are changing. Must remember to bring my camera to the cottage today. I WILL be on the water - like it or not - the Seadoo needs to go into storage along with the canoe. I hope it is sunny on the w/e. Josh will be coming up and there is nothing like paddling the canoe and seeing the most brilliant colours imaginable. My cottage is truly in one of the most scenic places on earth. People will come from miles around to see the Autumn splendour.

Had a nice chat with Josh last night and updated him on the stress of the past couple of days. He listened and supported. He thinks cyber bullying might be a criminal code offense. He would not hesitate to phone the Police either. I don't wish to escalate things but if one more thing happens I will squash my w/e plans, stay here and do what it takes to further protect her. My family (brother & one sis, Leenie) as well as a good friend know what is going on and have offered their support to Ash if anything occurs and I am not here.

Now, on to good stuff. I am so excited to have been given a new dollhouse to fix up. It had been donated to the library. I thought it would be rough but its really quite nice. Needs some repairs. Doors and windows have been removed and some gingerbread trim is broken. But the rooms are not bad. Some touchup painting in spots and new flooring. I thought all the walls would need new papering but most are just fine. Strange hobby you must be thinking but I love it. So creative and fun. Even Ashley was impressed with this one. Of course I'm now a miniature real estate magnate as I continue to acquire more homes.

On to REAL wallpapering at the cottage and planting bulbs in the garden. I hope to finish but doubt that will happen. To be sure - it is more likely I will need to make one more trip away.

But lots to do this morning. Best get on it. Life is good!
