Every year my Mom and I spend a week together at the cottage. (See picture to the left.) She grew up spending summers there. And for me growing up, every July my Mom would bring me and my sis up for a girls' week at the cottage to spend with my cousins and aunts. Oh the memories... Anyway, we're *ahem* older now. Girls' week now includes kiddies of my sis and cousins. I don't have any (kids that being) so I usually jump on the last weekend of 'the week' to see everyone before the week with my Mom begins.
Only got to see Aunt Sheila and Mel's kids. I guess I arrived too late. Anyway, come Monday morning my Mom and I were on a tight schedule.
The agenda included painting (the cottage, not the artistic kind), biking every day, reading (four maybe five books each), golfing, garage sale-ing, dollar store hunting and, of course, beach time.
The weather wasn't great. Very windy and not as hot as I would like it. But apparently perfect for kiteboarding.See picture to the left. This was taken from 'the dunes' where we normally hang out. That is clearly not me on the kiteboard. (How could I have taken the picture elsewise??) I think those people are crazy. Sure... strap a board to your feet, attach a kite and ride the waves. Sounds safe enough to me. Until the wind picks you up and drops you off in the water a good 40 feet away!!!!! No thanks.
Anyway, the wind did die down one night and we were able to get a walk in on the beach. Here's my mom, me and a classic pic of 'take the camera out in front of you to get a snapshot of the two you.' Classic. Can't wait to do it all again next year.
