A Getaway Finally

jalapeno, and banana pepper

We headed out on Aug 23rd to spend a few days visiting daughter L's fiance's family at their cottage in Muskoka.  They often take us for a boat ride  up the lakes.  We stopped off for a lovely lunch at the Sherwood Inn.  I chose to have fish and chips, they served it on a version of 'newsprint' as they do in England.  My sangria was refreshing.

You can spot a myriad of stars up there in the blackness of night.  For the first time I made the effort to see 'The Big Dipper'.  From there you can locate the North Star off of which hangs 'The Little Dipper'.  It is more faint so I could not see it.

This was our first getaway for the year!

Other friends have a cottage about an hour south, so we always try to stop by and see them on the way home.  They gave me a jalapeno and a banana pepper they picked from the garden as we were walking around!
