Anniversary of being alive

We have just returned home from a week away. A week that just happened to coincide with the anniversary of my collision. It's not really something to celebrate, is it? Of course not, but it just so happened that there was no lacrosse, soccer, or camp and the cottage we wanted was available. Besides, I think it was good to be away. Thank you to those who sent me messages this week. Although many of them made me cry, I was warmed by the feeling of being loved.

This is how I got around. There were five little cottages in all, one kitchen and four bunkies. All on one island in Georgian Bay. Four of those cottages were connected by boardwalk which you would think would make them all accessible - they were - but not all independently accessible. Imagine Canadian Shield - it's not exactly flat. So we spent our days at the bottom of the hill, closer to the water unless we wanted to spend some time closer to the sky.


We spent the anniversary of my being alive together as a family. We paddled around our rented 15 acres, read books, drank coffee, swam, played cards, ate chips and got way too much sun.



Below you will find three more posts that are more reflections about our time away. These posts were written off-line or by hand (with pen and paper) and I have up-loaded them with pictures now for the full effect. Although, you would have been able to read my handwriting, my spelling is quite atrocious.

  2. Physiotherapist Auburn is tied in with using distinctive warmth pharmaceuticals and back rubs for honest to goodness treatment without any remedies. In this present day world an impressive measure of harm has their answer through back rubs and warmth treatment which current prescriptions can't find so everything considered physiotherapy comes into defend.

  3. The place itself looks great with good pub area, and a much larger upstairs beer hall. Nice decor at the event locations with brick walls, wooden bench seating, and chalkboard beer lists showing off the day's selections.
