On Cottage Life, OverIndulgence And Car Alarms

*There is power in unplugging for a few days.

*It takes a tween about 30 minutes to spend $10.00 at a souvenir shop.  Decisions are hard when there is so much pretty to pick from.

*Nothing truly costs a dollar at the dollar store, even in cottage country.

*I will eat chocolate covered almonds until I feel sick, and you know, to save the healthier stuff for the kids.

*Watching an 80 year old man check out a $300.00 order at the Grocery store, having to adjust his glasses between every item to read all the wee numbers, lands the SassyHubby and I somewhere between awestruck and hilarity.

*Senior Citizens, Toddlers  and Puppies– If any of them tell you they need a washroom. They mean immediately.

*New car technology is awesome, until you set off your own car alarm in a crowded parking lot and can’t turn the damn thing off.   Note:  When you are a tall blonde with a couple of kids, apparently you can tell the aforementioned passing crowd “It really is my car, honest” and they all believe you.  Shouldn’t someone have suspected I was a crook?

*Fireplaces rock and you can never have enough s’mores.

*Cottage life, unplugging, walking through the woods and dreaming near the water, is good for the soul.

*No matter what kind of vacations you take, or where you escape too, they are never long enough. That is my truth.
