End of Season



September Fog instead of Fogust



After a long summer, it appears that the season has finally wound down.  We had our first supper last night up at the house.  It was our first supper at home since the beginning of June.  We have had a lot of fun this summer and enjoyed seeing old friends and making new ones.  We thank all the boaters that graced our dock this year. You made this summer very enjoyable for us.  There are too many to name but everyone knows who they are!

I spent 10 days in Alberta and returned on Wednesday.  Christine had to go back to University and she now set up in her own apartment.  Melissa and Darren are doing well in Grande Prairie and Signe has grown and is becoming her own person now.  What a joy!!

Sept 12/11 some of the last boats





More September Fog



The bay was getting cleaned up at the end of August but has come to a standstill now.  We will see what progresses as the fall continues.  It is supposed to be cleaned up and the barge in the middle of the bay is to be gone at the end of September.  We contacted some people to have this done and are supposed to give progress reports.  We will see what happens.  Hopefully by next summer the bay will be clean.

Season is winding down

It has been a busy couple of weeks, with quite a few boats and many meals.  The weather had smartened up and we finally had some summer!  The season is winding down now and Christine will be heading back to Alberta tomorrow via a road trip with mom.  George will be a grass widower for a week until I return.  We do not anticipate that he will be overly busy.

The grass has taken off again, and just as I was about to mow, the tractor died.  It has no umph so grass mowing until it is fixed.  Hopefully George will get to it.  The big generator at the house quit last week and George had to make a flying trip to Campbell River to pick up another smaller one.  The brushes and holders are on order for the big one.  The new one under the trees is being worked on and there are a few issues with it but it will be going by next year.  Hopefully we can have power on the docks then.  The cost for the cable is more than what the generator is worth.  It is $25.00 per foot for the cable so it will be a large expense.

Hopefully next year we can also obtain a dishwasher as I am very, very tired of doing dishes.  It will save on water as well as it will use quite abit less.  George figures we have served over 1000 meals this year already.  That is alot of dishes!!

We have received many red shoes and quite afew people have worn red shoes.  It is becoming quite popular and the pub his very red!!  Also received quite afew burgies again this year.
