Some Things Never Change

                                                   please listen to the music...

Beginnings and endings, the ebb and the flow,
The joy and the sorrow the stay and the go.
Life has it's seasons of storm and calm
Time to move forward,or look back upon

I pray I may never selfishly hold
What was never mine, but borrowed gold.
I'll keep my hands open and trust the great Giver,
While I savour the moment that He has delivered.L.M.

Enjoying a wonderfully, busy week here before it changes .

How are you spending yours?

Be It Ever So Humble......

  Ah yes, be it ever so humble....

  

       there is nothing quite like pulling the  "old relic" of a camper out of the driving shed,and calling it home for a little while.


                       It certainly  isn't lavish,but oh the memories ~
                           this abode on wheels holds for us.

 We usually go camping in it once a year at least and this summer we did just that on the week end.
 After we've packed it to the brim with the essentials ,  we piled into the truck for the 3 and a half hour drive north.
                   We discovered this campground for the first time six years ago. Have not been back to it in four...http://www.ontarioparks.com/english/killb.html

                    The rugged ,northern landscape never ceases to take my breath away....

        We were extremely grateful to get the spot we wanted by "our rock"...
here they are checking it out. 

It didn't take them long....

This could easily be my favorite spot on earth...

here we are....(all except eldest daughter who had other commitments)

Water............ soothes my soul.............

And sunsets.........

It was hard to leave; but home sweet home and daughter await......

and besides one things for sure

my house always feels luxurious after we've been camping!

  "gazing through the windows at other families isn't the same as living there day after day and knowing what goes on behind closed doors. There is a heartache like the one you're feeling right now in a good many homes."     Lynn Austin in Eve's Daughters

 

 

                              Between the peaches and pears the other day.... reading this absorbing book

                                ( photo above of a house in P.E I. that intrigued me with it's mystery)



                        How about you, Do you enjoy a good mystery, now and then?

        Happy Weekend.....soon we'll be off for a final hurrah..



  

Moments and Memories

 "please Mom, can we have a sleepover?" my daughter pleaded.We might not have any more this summer."
 I remember how much fun I had with my cousin growing up. I recall the days when both of my older daughters had sleepovers with this special nieces' sisters.I briefly ponder the speed at which the years go by, and I really don't need to give it any thought. " Of course! " I smile. "as long as sleep is included."

Baking cookies took up some of the morning.Discovered this recipe at camp last week.Thumb print cookies.

It worked out great. There was a " shaper", a "sugarer," and a" jammer."

Don't they look delicious?

In the afternoon we decided to pay a visit to one of our favorite stores.

The name says it all.

In the end ice cream won.

Sometimes I pretend I am a tourist in my home town. I love looking at something and wondering what I would notice if this was my first visit.

There is so much beauty in this historic town.

Thank you for taking the time to stroll with us.

May the moments that are left in your summer lead to great memories in the future.
