It was a busy weekend. We had a run into the city to take care of some business, grocery shopping, a cruise to the south end of the lake. Dan worked on the house a bit, and now I've cooked a roast beef dinner which we have just eaten. So now it's time to relax.
And there is no place I like better for relaxing, than out on the back deck of the boat with a glass of wine on a Sunday evening.
The Marina gets very busy on the weekend and I really enjoy the socializing and the hustle and bustle that ensues.
But there is something really special about Sunday afternoons and evenings. All the weekenders start to think about home around Sunday afternoon and start packing up and putting their boats away, and closing up the cottage and slowly but surely the Marina and the whole beach starts to get quieter and quieter as the day wears on.
Suddenly you realize that you can hear bird noises again. As it starts to get still and quiet.
That's when you realize "They are all going home.". "but I am retired and I get to stay here in my happy place all week", until they all return on Friday and it starts all over again.
RETIREMENT IS WONDERFUL
