Great Weekend

Laura,

Thank you for having us up to the cottage. It is always so relaxing and fun. You are an excellent host with nonstop booze flowing to an amazing dinner. I love spending my time with all the ladies of the club and love getting to know everyone even better. Barb D. thought provoking photo discussion gave me a new way to view myself and those around me or not. I find myself frequently thinking about the women in our club and how our stories are so unique and special and what a privilege it is to hear them.

Cottage Book Club August 14th

Ladies here is the plan for the third annual cottage book club up at Lake Simcoe.

For the drivers, the easiest route is to take the 404 North from Toronto to Green Lane(the final exit) Turn right on Green Lane. Turn left at the first lights onto Woodbine. Take Woodbine all the way to the lake. At J.C Trailers a yellow sign on the left, you will see you have to do a little jog to the left to remain on Woodbine to take it to the lake. Our cottage is the 3rd (#1041) on the left. We will follow the same format as the two previous years. Book club Ladies only on the Saturday. I will take care of dinner for the facilitated discussion of the 13th Tale on Saturday night.

I will likely go up Saturday before lunch so I am happy to make lunch for Saturday as well. As for Sunday all significant others and children are welcome to join us for a day of fun in the sun. We usually do a pot luck bbq for all. Please let me know when you plan on arriving so we can plan food by numbers accordingly. For the bike riders, Dave rides up all the time I can ask him for his route as Woodbine is only 2 lanes and a little dangerous. Let me know. Also I will be planning on getting a run in on Saturday and Sunday for those who want to join me. You don't need to bring anything to sleep. There are 5 beds and I will be bringing all the freshly laundered sheets to make them. Also I just got back yesterday and the lake is a beautiful temperature, so be sure to bring your swim suits. Dave will take us all out on the boat on Sunday. Sunzanne Duras will be joining us this year. Let me know which meal you are coming for and would like to contribute to. Carolyn B will not be doing her famous waffles this year as she is biking. I don't mind bringing my waffle iron just don't have high expectations.
