Cottage Weekend

Southampton sunsetI was privileged to stay at the Lishman’s cottage at Southampton this past weekend. Though I had a migraine the whole time it was mostly controlled by drugs and I had a good time!

Sister Cheryl and her little companion Maggie joined me Friday night and Saturday. I had to drive to Bloomingdale for church on Sunday as I was leading the service. After lunch I drove back to the cottage and stayed till Tuesday morning. Sister Martha dropped in for awhile on Momday afternoon. She snapped the photo of Billie and me.

I took a lot of pictures! Here are about a third of them

When it rains, it pours

Isn’t it funny how sometimes events bunch up? Something happens out of the blue and then it happens over and over in a short period of time. I had that kind of experience this past week.

On Friday I decided to sew a new coat for my skinny little dog with little fur to keep her warm. I wasn’t entirely happy with the end results and still have not put the closure on.

I tried to make a new coat with sleeves for BillieThen, on Friday evening I got a text from my downstairs neighbour, asking if I wanted a coat for Billie. As we had a family dinner that night Gina brought up several brand new coats and a sweater she’d been given on Saturday.

Then, on Sunday, Cheryl brought to lunch at Heritage House, a doggie coat that she’d bought for her Maggie that didn’t fit. Happily, one of the coats Gina gave me is really too big for Billie, so I can pass that one on to Maggie. So suddenly we have an abundance of coats.

(more pictures to come)

April 5 – With the temperature at -12 I thought we could try out the little parka. Billie was not impressed. It’s too big, so needs a bit of alteration.
