RAINING AND REIGNING

It is raining big time, and the whole county is grateful - having had a total fire ban because of the dry conditions.  Here are some photos of my new abode:



looking out towards the lake across the road (when the blind is up)

le sofa & the old milking stool

looking across bar into kitchen area

painting of Muskoka by my great-uncle (of the Gill family)
the music/writing/reading room; MacDonald lassie presiding
come sit by the fire, dear - real wood & fake electric both 

the bluebird of happiness in the bathroom window





And here's the reigning seniors' cribbage champion of Alberta, here in Ontario to whup them Eastern asses, and take the crown for the country. She visited with daughter Cheryl the other day.

My good friend Cheryl

and lastly - myself at my lovely old home (I used to call it Derry Dell in honour of my Irish studies.  It was shortened to Derry but now I call it Derriery, since it is behind me, in the picture, and in real life.
Photo taken by Phoebe on my last day there - coincidentally the same day as I bought the land back in 1988:




here's the last annual autumn dance outside my Derriery home, but stay tuned for this year's fling at the new location:
