On the weekend, we were lucky enough to be invited to my husband M's old classmate's new cottage up north in the Lake Simcoe area. We had great conversation, another classmate and his wife were also there. The topic these days turns to retirement plans and concerns about our children's futures and job prospects.
We had delicious barbecued chicken and roasted corn, and lots of other yummy food. They actually soaked the corn on the cob in water, then let it steam in its skin inside the barbecue as the chicken cooked. It had a lovely, steamed texture. It's funny as I brought a carrot cake for dessert and the hostess had also baked a carrot cake from a gluten free mix. So we had pieces of each, all good.
My son K had a ton of fun riding on their new seadoo. I only had one or two mosquito bites. My daughter L socialized with one of their daughters who had a friend also visiting. It turns out L used to go to dance class with this friend when they were little girls. It's a small world. The kids had fun roasting marshmallows and eating them between chocolate chip cookies.
