Gramma Camp – the finale!

 Friday was the hostage exchange, and who knows when we will see them again. They have next week off, and then go to school September 6th. Gr. 7 and Gr. 10. Then things get busy!

It poured rain Friday morning, which was fine. We relaxed and read, and just took it easy.

We enjoyed the last few days of summer with them. It was an on and off rainy week, but we got some work done. 

Jos had breakfast on the back deck, which is a tradition, even when it is raining!!! I popped outside, then popped back inside to snag the camera. Nutmeg was peeking out the Muskoka Room door at her. She was in for the day after her morning jaunt. She moved when I returned with the camera. You'll have to imagine her little face there in the background.


Grampa and Isabelle went to gas station and got us some more gas. I filled the tank, and put the battery back in, having charged it for the morning. It started. I shut it off for some reason. It restarted. Barely. I had to keep it running. Grampa sent the girls out to me and we finished off.

The wood is piled. The shed is empty. Winter, bring it on! We'll have to order more wood next year.


We also managed to trim the second last branch of the catalpa tree. I've one branch to go. We ran out of battery juice. First I took down the deer fence. All my lily plants have flowered.
Before and after:

 What a team! Grampa took photos with his new camera.



On the last day of Gramma Camp this summer, Jos had a visit with froggies. There were two.

We packed up, gathered materials, and finished the movie Greenland – in the morning! This changes tradition. We only ever watch movies after dinner! 

After lunch it was departure time. We said our goodbyes.
