Richard's Return

Richard and Jenine had to go home to attend a function that they did not want to miss and when they were gone was when all Hell, [the storm, power outage, and fire happened] broke loose. When they returned to the cottage, Richard asked me if I would like to inspect the fire scene with him, which we did. We walked the entire site and when we got to the outer limits and were looking across the water in the small bay there were two deer standing at the shore browsing. Our arrival spooked them a little at which time they trundled off into the bush.
Anne had, gone to a pre-planned trip to England to meet with her sisters Maureen from Vancouver and Marian from Perth Australia, Dot who lived in Dagenham, Essex just outside London, so Anne was not at the cottage for the yearly Pig Roast put on by Dee and Ken Baker at Wanakewin Lodge. The Bakers have invited the surrounding cottagers to this do for several years now, and as usual it was a marvelous fete. The problem was when the thunder and lightning started we thought we were in for another bad storm so left and went home a little early,and all the weather did was threaten, nothing actually happened but we heard that south around Parry Sound and Midland they got it pretty good. Richard had some stuff for the dump and ascked me if I would like to go, and being on my own and getting a little bored I went with Richard to the dump in hopes of seeing some bears. I was not disappointed. When we got to the dump, there were four bears furiously turning over garbage, looking I suppose for you, yes you Stephan Colbert.
