big girl pants, boat, breakfast, campfire, camping, cranking, day five, grandsons, Jack fish, s'mores, son-in-law, widow

I was up a bit late and all the boys slept in… we eventually had a wonderful breakfast around eleven… it was cooked on the propane stove and the campfire…

there was intermittent rain until around one at which time we headed out in the boat to fish, with a cooler filled with snacks… it was cool so there was no swimming or tubing in the plans…

we spent four and a half hours on the water… it was glorious… we caught four fish in total – my son-in-law caught two, I brought in one, and the older grandson got one… all Jack fish so we had to throw them back, lol… everyone enjoyed themselves…

the sun danced in and out of the clouds and we spotted loons, ducks, maybe a few muskrats and many seagulls…

when we returned to the boat launch the older grandson brought the boat up onto the trailer, which involves a lot of cranking, lol…

once we were back at the campsite we had supper and sat around the campfire roasting marshmallows for s’mores…

last night, after our supper, cooked on the fire, we had s’mores… we used chocolate covered cookies and smooshed the marshmallow between two of them… yummy… couldn’t get a photo because it was dark…

today the sky was very interesting… this is the view I had when I woke up…


the dog and I took a short walk and got this picture…


up early again, but everyone else got up too, and we went fishing…


the sky was foggy or misty or smoky, we couldn’t decide which…



got a fun shot of some of the boats in the marina…


later in the day finally got a nice picture of one of the many loons we saw throughout our time in the boat…


there was lots of tubing fun..

wonderful day…

company…

ashes, big girl pants, company, dahlia, fushia, gardener, Grandpa, grandsons, pond, rocks, s'mores, walk, widow

had quite a bit of company today…

early morning meeting with my money guy…

then met my grandson for breakfast and we worked in the garden for a few hours…


he is getting to be a good gardener… finished putting the rocks around and in the pond so now none of the liner is visible…  we also lifted the deck to move the cords out of sight and he cleaned up the flower bed and put rocks down…

looks very nice… made red lentil curry and rice for our lunch which is one of his favourites…


the fushia was looking beautiful today…

after he left, spent some time reading in the garden and then had a nap…

the daddy dropped the little boys off after supper on his way to work…

we had a lovely time… they came with me to water a friend’s plants…


on our way home we stopped for Dairy Queen ice cream and once we arrived at the house, we walked over to the grocery store to pick up fixings for s’mores…

on our way back we stopped at the creek where we scattered grandpa’s ashes and then there was rolling down the hill activity…


got this great shot of the dahlias blooming in the front garden as we arrived home from the store… they look like a painting…


the boys played with balloons for at least an hour, on the deck and then in the hot tub…


everyone played on their electronics for a while and then we had a fire…


they were picked up by mom and I am now enjoying a few quiet minutes before heading to bed, lol…

we never did get to the s’mores but will do that on Sunday when they come for dinner…

it is such a treat to spend some one-on-one time with them…
