We have just spent eleven days at Emma Lake with Barb and Garry working 12 hour days to get the cottages ready for summer festivities. This year involved more work than usual for we had to demolish all the fencing and decking, remove the old hot tub, haul all the rubbish to the dump, build a new deck, install a new tub and gazebo as well as the regular maintenance of putting in the dock, getting the water flowing, leveling buildings, trimming trees and grass, clearing all the leaves, pinecones and reeds from the beach, repairing screens, cleaning gutters and removing cob webs inside and out. It rained parts of every single day but we pressed on nevertheless! We did stop for a bit of R&R however. Jim and Mary Ann Cross invited us over for meals and to watch the final two Stanley Cup games and with the Robert and Kevin Donalds we celebrated Mom's 90th birthday at Zorba's Restaurant.
