Back from the Cottage

Flurry of activity around the Morley household today. Last night we got back from the cottage, after being there for a week. Yes it rained, everyday except one, but it was great to sit, relax, and do nothing. But now it's time to get the house in order and prep for the workweek ahead.

We always love our week at the cottage. It is a time to sit and think, enjoy nature (it's right on Lake Huron), read (we read 3 books each), and tune out of the everyday craziness. There isn't a tv and there are no newspapers... just us and nature. Oh and of course according to Chris it's a time for treats! There is always a stop at the Lucknow bakery, which is a bakery run by mennonites that has delicious strawberry tarts and pies, and date squares and buns for Chris' burgers! They actually now do gluten-free baked goods which is crazy.... cookies, pie shells, and tarts!

Anyway so last night we eased into being back in Toronto by unpacking, responding to a few emails and starting new books. Today after a relaxing breakfast outing, and starting on our laundry, we did our grocery shopping so I could prep a few things for the week. Tonight we're having rainbow trout and my beet and arugula salad. While the beets were cooking I pulled out my favourite appliance, the food processor, made tofu frittata for tomorrow night's dinner, and then made some hummus so we would have something to snack on during the week while making dinners. Plan, plan, plan.....
