We spent the weekend at L's boyfriend's family's cottage in Muskoka, a couple of hours drive north of Toronto. We were treated very well, it was like a mini vacation and they are a lovely family. It was a friendly gesture on their part, not so much an indication of a serious relationship, although the young couple seem besotted with each other at this time! An added bonus was the fact that they have internet access, so I was able to stay 'connected'.
They have a nice boat, so we boated around Lake Muskoka, Lake Rosseau (all connected), viewed multi million dollar cottages (owned by movie stars and business magnates) and had lunch at a patio restaurant in the Marriott resort up there. They have a lovely cottage but it wasn't one of the huge mansions we saw, which is probably just as well. I took a photo of the sunset by their cottage for you.
In a strange coincidence, K discovered his friend was also at his own cottage, which was quite close to where we were staying, so he was able to visit and spend some time with him. They actually went to see 'The Dark Knight' batman movie in town one night. Everyone was talking about the terrible Colorado tragedy. Our sympathies are with the victims.
Looks beautiful, glad you had sucha great time! Valerie

What a gorgeous picture! Sounds like a lovely time - and what a great coincidence that his friend was there too! I hope to go on the lake next month when we take a tiny trip to Big Bear ;)

ReplyDelete--I had to laugh at this, Christine! LOL. glad you had a good time. how lovely it looks.
Yes, I went to Denver with my sons to see batman in Denver on Friday no less (had already bought tickets). different theatre though. Terrible and cruel this joker's actions. My heart goes out too for all those affected. It took me years to recover from the Columbine shooting. Such a deep community sense of loss even for us up in northern colorado.
MMm so glad you chose a different theatre, so scary.
ReplyDeleteSounds like u had a lovely little break! Reminds me of trips to my aunt's cottage on a lake in Michigan when I was little...
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous place! You were really lucky to be able to spend some relaxing time there.
