The Road Trip

At The McGown Homestead...

My day at the McGown homestead... accessed via McGown Rd... nestled on the shores of McGown Lake...
There's nothing like living amongst such a sense of rich history!
I woke up at 8:30am, looked outside, and thought about a dip in McGown Lake, but was scared off by the steady rain coming down... so I settled on a hot cup of coffee and some breaky instead! There's no shortage of food around this home, thanks to Mrs. McGown... don't worry Mom(s) I have been eating well and am building up my insulation for the winter!
With Annie on my lap I spent some quality time with the computer, carving away at my assignments for this fall... I guess that Annie didn't get enough of me after sleeping at my feet last night! (Oh, well... at least she doesn't shed!)
After another healthy sized lunch, Mrs. McGown drove me to where I have been working for a local guide outfitter, Black Feather, doing odd jobs of gear repairs and stuffing envelopes.
After work I took Annie and we went for a paddle around McGown Lake in the canoe... it's almost as though you can see the colours changing right on the trees... even beginning to see 3-4 different colours on one tree! ;)
Carrie's parents shared more childhood stories about her with me over supper... I look foreward to her returning and seeing the three of them interact as a family... it should be very entertaining to say the least!
Anyway, now I am at the local Parry Sound Library taking advantage of the free wireless connection.
Carrie comes to Parry Sound on Friday... and we look forward to colouring in the lines for our fall/winter adventures soon!
Until then... thanks for your prayers and support!
