Bob and I are in Owen Sound enjoying the quiet comforts of my mother's house for the weekend. Mom is still in the UK making the rounds of family visits, packing in several before her return in a few days, according to her latest email to me.
We've had a nice getaway, marred somewhat by the discovery that several things had been stolen from our property up in the Bruce Peninsula. We knew theft was always a risk, since there is no security of any kind, but still it is sad. We lost a screen tent, camp stove, lantern, and a few other small items. The good news is that there was no serious damage -- no broken windows, only a small window latch missing.
We've enjoyed the relative simplicity of being together with only two dogs as company; the other two are romping with friends and family at their favourite kennel.
