I'm back and how did it go

The feeling when you are driving to the Paradise of yours, is almost impossible to describe. This time I was the driver and it takes me a bit longer than if my husband drives. Go figure.

In the car with me, I had my youngest daughter, Liisa, who just came back from a visit to Sweden where she's been staying with her older sister. I guess she is a bit jet lagged.

My husband, remember the Fisherman, where is he then? Well he had to stay at home and work and he is SO jealous that he couldn't come with us. I am sending him tons of pictures and that doesn't help. He's constantly reminded of the beauty up here. Or is he missing all the fish?

Yesterday my son, Albert came! It's his first time here and he seems to love the place. He is surrounded by beauty where he lives in Switzerland but he still thinks this place is just as great but in a different way. And yes, Sweden and Switzerland are different countries...

So how did it go with our first renters? I must say I was a nervous wreck and my brain was spinning and thinking; "do they like it", "is everything functioning", etc. And yes, They loved it!

Second renters did also like it BUT there were a couple of, should I call it, "issues".

This is a small road and everybody knows each other and keeps an eye on others' properties. Last week there were several houses rented on this road and they all seemed to know each other in some way. They gathered in one of the houses for an event even if the owner of that place doesn't allow big events. That house accommodates 6 people but there were around 30 people at one point! They smoked in the house, there were foot prints on tables and the cleaning staff never seen the place like that. Our renters were part of this party. But I am glad they did not gather here. I did find couple of things broken and missing but I am not going to make a big deal of it. I guess it is part of renting to take those risks.

Well now I am going to enjoy this week, with my son and youngest daughter! On Friday the Fisherman will join us.

Love our lower deck and have my morning coffee there

Watching the sun rise and yes, I am an early bird



Sorry for the picture but this is relaxation to me

Having dinner with my daughter and chat the entire evening is so valuable. Even if I have to think twice sometimes. Did I tell you she is a teenager?

After the renters, yes there were some cleaning left. The grill! I don't know but I was wondering what on earth they have been grilling? Grease, grease! Well now it's clean again.

Love, love Wellesley Island and all the Chanterelles you find! Yummy!

My son prepared for the sunset

Yes, he is old enough to have a drink or two.
