Despite missing the 8:30 a.m. sailing by 6 cars, we still managed to arrive at the cabin in pretty good spirits largely due to the weather.

Saturday’s temperature hovered around 28 degrees celcius when we finally pulled up to the lake. It was downright hot, so hot, our neighbours, who were in swimming with their kids (they had wet suits on) invited us to join them. Declining their invitation, we quickly got to work unloading the car and opening up the stifling cottage.

This past weekend was the kind of weekend you could only dream about. It was hot and sunny. The lake was flat calm on Sunday - perfect for wake boarding and yes, I donned my wet suit and went for a ride.

We kicked off Happy Hour season Saturday afternoon on Jan and Stew’s deck. It’s hard to believe eight months had passed. We pick up right were we leave off, although everyone’s kids are about a foot taller than when we last saw them, and some are heading off to university in the fall.

I couldn’t have asked for a better start to the cottage season. It was awesome.

Please drop me a line and tell us about your opening up weekend.

Cheers,

Julie
