Long weekend is here....

..and the trailer is packed and the boat is attached to the hitch and off to the cottage we go.......oh, wait a minute, that's not us, it's the neighbours !!haha  I guess we'll just stay home for a change and work in the garden. And what are you folks going to do to celebrate Victoria Day?
Not too much new here over the last few days but the constant watch on the weather at night. It would appear that we should be OK for the weekend as the temps are warm and sunny. I really enjoy my walks with the dog down to the lake morning and night and since it is her outing, I don't mind going along for the exercise. I see the ducks and watch the fisher people and their boats. The Village put up the boat dock this week I guess in anticipation of the tourists for the long weekend. The swimming dock isn't in yet but anyone can go into the lake from the beach - as you know it is very shallow for about 100 meters out and then it falls steeply so is great for family swims. I received an application from Service Canada in the mail inviting me to apply for Old Age Security - wasn't that a nice surprise! So Patty in answer to our previous discussion about not having to apply and the OAS coming automatically as was in the recent federal budget, I guess I do have to send in the paperwork! So I'll get that off next week and should be getting the first payment next April - whoopee!
Have a happy and safe May 24th weekend everyone - a sure sign that summer is on the way, and in saying that it means my trip draws nearer!! Take care
