Lake week went quickly. We didn't go far; the cottage was 90 minutes from Ottawa on White Lake near Calabogie. In seven days we left the cottage only once for a quick visit the "the Frew" (Renfrew) to get a Globe, pick up some ice cream, and pump up our tire. For sale: 1992 Corolla. The weather was incredible - clear and hot. We cooled off by jumping off the dock. I'm now a master of the floating noodle, and Jasper and I developed a subtle yet effective sign language for "you have a horse fly on your head." You need this when you're floating on your back, still, ears and cares submerged.

More soon. Here's a nice pic. OK, and another one.
