Just got back from the cottage. Dock is in, did nothing but work on the dock. No fishing, no hiking, no gentle cuddles on the beach. It was a work weekend, sun. sweat and black flies. No complaint from me, I had a great weekend. Went to bed each night tired. Woke up refreshed.

Wife didn't have the best weekend, only got her out of the cottage a couple of times. Either it was a cold wind or there was not wind and the black flies were out in force. I felt sorry for her. I do love her so and I hate to see her unhappy.

The kids seemed to have a good weekend, youngest and middle hung around their cousin and her boyfriend. Oldest helped his grandfather and I with the docks or hung with his cousin. They all went for walks, and played dice games. Watched videos, rented a few they have never seen. I scored on those, everyone was enjoyed. They even collected wood for our bonfire.

On sunday night we did a bonfire on the beach, after wife/my mother/my sister/my neice/my middle daughter all watched the season finale of Desperate House Wives, and set of fireworks (that wife bought, she knows how to reach my heart) All in all it was a great Victoria Day Weekend.
