Visiting friends in Ontario "cottage country"

We drove up yesterday (Saturday) to visit Pat and Mark between Minden and Haliburton, Ontario.

Our original plan was to park Miss Doozie in the driveway of their cottage - they have a great new large gravel pad... unfortunately, Miss Doozie couldn't make the hill up to the pad without dragging her back end (literally) on the road - so we elected to stay in a campground a little ways away.

But, that didn't stop us from going back up to the cottage and visiting with Pat and Mark. It was so good to see Pat again and get to chat with her (Patti's former co-worker). Unfortunately / fortunately, also a reminder that I'm happy to no longer be working for IBM. It was also great to meet Mark and get to talk with him too.

They have a lovely cottage / home on Soyers Lake. Even though it was rainy much of the day, we still enjoyed seeing the view of the lake from their home. As Dwayne said while we were there, "I think if I lived here, I would just sit and look at this view all the time!"

So great to get to see Pat again, and to meet Mark.
Thank you so much, Pat and Mark!
