  Well I survived the challenges of yesterday, especially the rain!  The boys and I had our tour through the park, a walk out onto the dock, checked out the lake from near and far.  Toured through the campgrounds, checked out some of the cabins, helped load Donald's lawn mower.  He is taking it home and bringing up a newer one.  The old one is being retired, to cutting his alley back at home.  We then got in a round of mini golf, before the rain started to come down from the heavens above.  It then was a brisk walk back to the fifth wheel dodging rain drops, keeping in mind safety first.  Then it was the big decision of the morning.  What to have for lunch?  We ultimately decided on sandwiches, one cheese and summer sausage for Aiden.  And one cheese and pepperoni for Mikkel.  Bumpa, that's me had cheese.  Then it was time to clean up our dishes, and ourselves.  And a half hour of video games, and presto, Mom was back with Dad!!  Where did the time go??
  So Boots is once again out on a morning patrol without his first breakfast!  He is not at all Impressed with me, though he is not knocking at the door yet.  It is relatively dry under his tree, so I guess for the present he is more or less content.  I have been keeping an eye on the time and have been wondering if he will come knocking at breakfast time.  So far he has been very good company for the boys, with no incidents.  Which has been very remarkable, even trying to lay in Mikkel's little lap!  When Grandma has not been here, the boys have been taking turns sleeping in grandmas bed.  Now normally Boots sleeps between my legs when grandma is not here.  But Boots has assumed it's his duty to sleep between the boys legs, when they sleep in Grandmas bed.  Thus he has become this great guard cat!
  This morning Dwayne and I shall go down and make our reservations, for our T-off times this weekend.  His brother Brian will be here for a round of golf on Sunday.  And I hope to play nine holes on Saturday.
  I have lot's of little projects to attend to this weekend, and with Dwayne's help, and God's co-operation in the weather department, we should be able to get a lot accomplished.  Anyways things are stacking up to be a very busy weekend for everyone up here, hopefully we can get as much done as possible.  Time will tell.  My main concern is to get some tree branches trimmed, and I could sure use my son-in-law's help.  He is just a bit taller than me, younger, stronger, and better looking???
  Now, I might have earned those brownie points for the great help he always enjoys giving me!  That's the way I am learning, to enjoy some of what I have learned, as I am Building the Simple life....................
