Tarzan's Jane

What an ugly toad! Your wife should not give up on camping - it won't happen every time that you run into people like that. A little friendly word to the staff would make a difference for sure. I had a horrible camping experience once where the camper beside us did nothing but scream and yell at his kids all day - it was so abusive and upsetting. I finally had enough and turned up my music. He approached me and in a not so friendly tone told me to turn it down. I did the opposite and I let it rip until 11:00 p.m. The next day, he was much nicer to his kids.

Nice Cliff - has you daughter been saying "go faster, go faster". lol I am jealous, I think a trolling motor is a fantastic idea, might look into one for next year - gonna have to do something or else I'll be looking like Popeye.

Great report and pics. Although you were busy...you had time to sit with a drink in hand and watch the love around you.

Rick, I would like to apologize for finding humour in another's response to your post last night. It was very insensitive of me but I truly meant no harm.

Cute. Ya last night gave me a headache. I subsequently found humour on another's very serious post to which I need to go and apologize.

I thought for sure I posted on this last night....weird. Anyhow..nice fishies

I would like Ken (Bowshep) to have some input with this. Cuz I certainly don't have a clue, but it sounds good . He is not available right now, but I will direct him to this post in the morning. Anyway, if we are too late, then we are too late - good luck. Hope you have a wonderful holiday with your family and friends. Nancy

Yes. Very good friends of mine recently purchased this place...I was there myself in July, stayed in a cottage, loved it. Check it out - not sure about any vacancy, but you never know. The owners are: Steve and Lisa Dolan. Mention that Nancy Moore referred you - not guaranteeing anything, but do check out their site. "watersedgecottages.ca"

Truly sad news. He is far too young!! By God when will there be an end to Cancer? My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Very nice fish, but something seems odd. Could be just my tired eyes but ... ah never mind.

ahhhhh - you are a good Dad. Brave little guy though

LOL - now there's a COWBOY!! love the hat.

Nice. and nice area too. I just don't care to fish in those lilies...forever getting snagged.

This is no doubt so not worth it...but I too can't help myself. You have issue with throwing your money away yet have so little regard for your life. (referring to your choice to not wear a PFD and your comments regarding that.

So so sorry to hear this. My deepest condelences to the family, community and her little friends. I watched a documentary a few years back...a little boy around her age was suffering, family knew he had little time left. Near the end for him, all he wanted to do was sleep because he talked about the huge playground, rides and fun he was having with his new friends... for sure there is a better place...it is called Heaven - and she most definitely is there.

Just helping Ken out with the pics... This last one I just had to put in....sorry Ken lol Ditto on not changing a thing - made more great memories...thanks.

Simplicity can be so complex - why? Just be safe - wear the PFD.

Gee...what a time you had...just can't get the vision of you in the water alone!! You were fortunate. Great report and pics.

Wow! Good for you....Congratulations. Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy

Ken and I were out on our canoe Saturday on the Rideau River... we were not impressed with some boaters...absolutely no consideration for us in a canoe having to position ourselves continuously to ride their sometimes fairly big waves!!! A few times I was quite nervous thinking that "holy crap I don't think they see us" and mind you we certainly kept ourselves as near to the shore as we could without having to unsnagged ourselves repeatedly. Of course there were some who were "aware" and would slow down when near us. Too sad how inconsiderate some boaters are. We did not see one authority figure - but were told that they were out the weekend prior and had given a few boaters tickets. I recall thinking at one point...hey I have the right to be here too...slow the F down.

Truly a nice get away. I too did something similar to that a few years back in Arizona, we rented a jeep and like you had a blast. Great Birthday/Anniversary Gift.....your wife did real good. lol

How cute is that. Cliff when you write about your daughter, there is so much love and pride - thank you for sharing your weekend with her with us. Bet ya Daddy is going to try to get that faster boat for his little princess lol

Everyone is smiling...that's a good thing.

Cute little guy, nice fish too, must have been yummy!

Nice report & pics. I too am planning on purchasing a boat...have looked at a few already....keep changing my mind about what it is that I would be prefer....looking at the cost primarily GAS....do not want to own a boat only to sit on it where it is docked like some I have seen do...for now I will enjoy the canoe.
