Well as you can tell by the date we are in August and still at the cottage. And it is our second oldest grand child Gideon's birthday. Just this morning as we were all heading for Orillia for some errands when unbeknown to Jane and me we were greeted at Orillia dock by Marcel and the girls from Crown Point. What a surprise!!!!!!!!!!!! Allthough Shelly could not come as she had some work commitments. We miss you shelly. Our time at the cottage has been good with the first week by our selves. Jane had a scare that thursday as she was bothered by a pain in her side during the night. That morning we left for the hospital where they did some test, like x-ray c/t scan and the like and rolled out any lung sack fluid and embolism.  Back for light supper in Orillia with Jane's sister and husband at studebaker. With jane feeling much better with the occasional use of a puffer she became also much more relaxed. The next day the Sall's and Heene's came. the last brought the Doral boat from the farm. We ar truly enjoying having all of them with us for this time and are thankful to our heavenly Father for all these good gifts. God is good all the time.  Marinus + Jane
