Belated Happy Birthdays to Tim & Ellia!

Gary's brother Eddie is the manager of the Upper Clements Wildlife Park which is almost directly across the road from us. Eddie needed a beaver for their beaver exhibit and, as luck would have it, there is a colony of beavers just below the wildlife park. Eddie set out his catch alive trap and caught a beaver, then another beaver, and then this one - beaver #3! The beavers are having a blast in the beaver exhibit - delighting onlookers with their antics. He drove over in the mule to show us this guy.

The NBGBs were over for a swim yesterday. I couldn't get the camera to work for a swimming picture, but it did work for a snack picture. Aaron starts school on Sept. 3rd - it just seems like yesterday that he was born.


I can't believe summer is almost over - basically another week and the summer crowd will be gone - we are fully booked until Labor Day Monday right now - yup - looks like another 100% occupancy for August - yeah!! Something to look forward to as summer winds down - one more week until Jay comes home - I have officially started clearing the junk out of his room - hopefully I'll have it ready for Saturday.

Small up-date - Busy, busy summer!

Yup - we're still alive and kicking! We're haviang a very busy summer - 95.8% occupancy for July and aiming for 100% again in August. Things are going well and we even have a day off with no cottages to clean now and then so that we can catch up on other work. If you make this pic bigger, you'll see that we finally got the weathervane and Gary is installing it here. With the dark green of the trees in the background, it doesn't show up so well in pictures.

Gary doing his morning pool chores - opening the pool, scooping the bugs, testing the water and sweeping the deck.



My window box flowers have gone crazy this year. They decided that they want to go up and cover the window rather than hang down! This picture is just before I got up with scissors and gave them a little trim - they were making the bathroom dark! Oh, note the 2 bunnies in the left hand corner of the picture. They have made a huge tunnel beside the foundation - at the corner of the bottom step is the dirt that they have dug out.


This baby bunny blends in with the rocks in the walkway.

Count down is on till Jason comes home - the end of the month - yeah! It will be 2 years since we've seen him, can't wait!
