AHHH SUMMER

I was driving home from work today, it was very snowy and slippery so instead of paying attention I began to replay the summer at the cottage. I miss it so, and it's only been a couple of months since we closed up for the season. I miss picking up Martha after her Friday shift @ 11. Pm. And making the drive most times with her snoozing. The absolute joy Benson exudes when he bolts out of the car and immediately goes "swimmins". Seriously we cannot keep this boy dry for more than 5 min. Martha inevitably doing the pee-pee dance while I try to unlock the door in the blackness. Having a glass of wine or a beer while we vent about the week, money issues or how Benson is wet and stinky. It us just us and the call of bull frogs and crickets. Waking at 7 and taking Benson for a poo and swim, then off for a walk to the store to buy the paper and feel the rising sun on my face. Walks on the beach, bbq's and long nights in front of the fire. We also play a lot of Skip-Bo (a Uno type game) and the final cottage score for the 2005 summer was Martha 45, Davey 42, Grandma Johnston 15 and the rest were in single digits. We also play ALOT of trivial pursuit, any edition you can name. The running tally on this is Davey one hundred gazillion Martha 1. Anyway I would love to hear about others Fav. Summer memories. So leave me a comment and let me know
