I have arrived

Yesterday, Karin, Karen & John all met at my house to head out to the Thousand Islands. Everyone was concerned about how we were going to get all the luggage in the trunk of my car. I managed to get 6 suitcases, 1 tackle box, 1 cooler, a case of Pepsi, a loaf of bread, helmet and miscellaneous other items into the trunk of my car.  Not sure how, but we did get the trunk closed without smashing the bread.  Karen hooked up her bike rack to the trunk of my car and put her bike along with Jim's bike on the rack.  She also bungeed John's fishing rod and net to the bikes.  Let me say my car was loaded.  Now I just had to get the people in my car.  

John sat in the front seat with his laptop. Karin and Karen sat in the back seat with Karin's laptop and my camera. (I could not forget my camera that would not have been good.)  I had my mom come outside to take a picture and pray with us and then we were on the road by 11am. (The estimated departure time. Yeah!!!)

I was told we needed to stop for coffee, so the at the first rest area there was a Tim Horton's.  I pulled into the rest area and we had to wait about 40 minutes for our beverages.  By noon we were back on the road.  

The trip took us a little over four hours.  The weather was not the greatest for driving in, but I managed to get everyone to 5 Bayview Drive in one piece.  I had to drive in a lot of heavy rain.  I was glad to be driving because I don't know how I would have been as a passenger.  Everyone in the car was great about me driving.  Yeah!!

We arrived at the cottage around 4pm.  Margaret, the owner of the cottage, was waiting for our arrival at the house.  She is a precious older woman.  She pointed out some of the details of the cottage.  It is an amazing cottage right on the water.  There are five bedrooms, three bathrooms, living area, kitchen, dining room, sunroom, three car garage and front/back porch.  We were all in awe of the cottage.  It was not like anything we ever expected.  I am thankful that I could be here and that we arrived safely.

Until next time, Blessings to you~ 

Ps, When I get home I will put pictures up.
