A weekend at Cobble Beach











The forecast was amazing - 24 degree's for Friday and 20 degree's for Saturday.  Sunday was going to be another beautiful day and we were not disappointed.  On Friday we were up early (4:00 a.m.) and met with Grace and John just after 6:00.  We headed to Owen Sound and were able to have a nice early tee-time.  The wind was quite strong which made the golfing a challenge, but the day was absolutely beautiful.  In the evening, Teresa and Lawrence joined us.  We had a nice dinner at Nathaniels.  Saturday we enjoyed a quiet morning with a bit of shopping before heading to the course.  Saturday was another nice day however the breeze was cooler today off the lake.  We all really enjoyed ourselves.  We enjoyed dinner all together at the course.  Sunday was a relaxing day. We enjoyed a sermon in the morning and then drove to Lora Bay to check out the golf course and then slowly made our way to Collingwood before heading for home.  What a wonderful relaxing weekend.

Reaching out





Arja and Ellen held a morning at the church to create "art" as a form of Evangelism  to reach out to the community.  It was fun morning where we were "inspired" to be creative and make up small canvasses that can be hung out in the community.  We hope that the Lord will bless this work.

Digging in the dirt

It's long overdue, but the gardens are crying out for some tender loving care.  I got up early - 7:30 a.m. on Saturday morning. It was really nice outside.  With shovel and hoe in hand I started the work to clean up the gardens.  It's going to take a couple of days of steady attention.  There are thousands of whirly birds.  After about 1.5 hours - I had cleared 10 feet.  It looks really nice but boy was that a lot of work.  This morning I could hardly walk.  My muscles had cramped up in my calves.  I think my body is telling me it's time to do more workouts in the garden. Obviously it's very good exercise.

A day on the greens




It was a sunny beautiful day.  Just what we needed to enjoy the afternoon at Coppercreek.

Bathtime







What a beautiful afternoon.  After our visit with Ralph's dad we sat on the back deck and enjoyed the sunshine and nice weather.  We enjoyed the birds flying through the backyard and taking a bath the waterfall.
