Officially on holidays!
We will be doing some small projects around our cabin, like redoing the firepit, weed trimming and replacing a door to the lean-to.  I have also found a new crossword puzzle book and Walter, well he has a new hobby so he will be entertained!
Every few days we come back to the city to shower and restock groceries.  Our cabin is pretty rustic: 1970's wall panelling, garage sale furnishings and no running water.  I love the challenge of cooking over the fire, but it isn't necessary for our survival.  We have electricity so run a fridge, stove and microwave.  Life is simple at the cabin and that's what I love about it!
Just a few neighbours have cabins around us, so it's quiet.  If we want to visit, they are friendly, but otherwise, we all leave each other to our own private spaces.  We are only a small walk from a boat launch/dock.  A half hour walk would get us to Katepwa Beach but we usually drive there because a beach usually requires "stuff" like snacks, towels and other paraphernalia. 
Why am I blogging?  Why am I not relaxing and disengaging?  Well, just as Walter's hobbies are his outlet for creativity and thinking time, my hobbies are music and writing.  I actually downloaded some creative writing exercises and will take some time to just write for fun! 
Speaking of hobbies, I alluded to Walter's new hobby:  a VW Beetle!  He advertised and sold his 1928 Dodge Bros. project, which got stalled because he couldn't find parts.  A friend's dad bought it and has the connections to acquire the parts...and it will be nice to see/hear the progress on the old car!  In the meantime, Walter was able to find a 1971 Volkswagen Super Beetle and our coworker brought it down from Birch Hills, SK to Regina for the price of a BBQ rib supper!  Now Walter is on YouTube and websites to learn all about his new love.  And he is starting a YouTube channel to document his project and to facilitate his dramatic side!  You can find it under the name "Beetle Build" if you are curious.
So if I'm not writing or experimenting with foil dinners, I will be out in the saskatoon bushes.  The berries are ripe and we have picked a couple gallon pails full already.  A blessing from the Lord is that the mosquitoes are almost non-existent this year.
See ya' later!
