Fall Camp Out On The Mira

       

     It is funny how when our prayers are answered, in a way different than we ask, that we sometimes do not recognize them as being answered. Sometimes we just have to look and listen. This is what happened during fall camp. During the summer, Hunny and I tried our best to arrange a cottage weekend, but everything was booked. During fall camp, my sister’s neighbor came for a visit and while there she offered us her cottage.

      

    When we went to the cottage, she greeted us at the door and to our surprise we realized that the “cottage” was a house on a river. What a view to enjoy my morning coffee by… the fall leaves were in beautiful colour all around and the loons were on the river. I took a picture to send to Hunny to show him what he was missing.

     I was treated like a princess during the entire three days we were there. I was even an honorary member of the Red Hat Society for a day. While I do not recommend silk pajamas worn on silken sheets, we all had a good laugh at me sliding around the bed in the ones provided by our hostess.  Once they got me settled in bed, they barricaded me there with a chair, for my safety…they said.

       

      We enjoyed sitting by the fire on the deck (our hostess had a special stove for this purpose), watching the gorgeous sunset and just being in nature. Because of MSA I could not walk to appreciate the surrounding nature, but at this cottage nature surrounded me.
