A Few Days with Shawn

Hailey returned to the city on October 2nd.  The next morning, my brother-in-law Shawn came out for a visit.  We spent the next three days visiting, working and golfing.  We played golf twice... once on the 3rd and then again on the 5th.  The course is gloriously quiet at this time of year, particularly during the week.  There were only one or two other groups of golfers on the course when we played.  When we played on the 5th it was actually fairly cool.  The forecast high was only +8C.  But the sun broke out in the afternoon, and the temperature struggled up to about 10.  By the time we were finishing our round late in the afternoon, it was really cooling off.
We also worked on a bunch of stuff around the property.  I got the vinyl floor tiles installed throughout the dinette and living room of the guest cottage.  Only the two bedrooms remain.  Mostly Shawn worked on splitting firewood for me.  He got a good chunk of the remaining logs on my big pile split and stacked.  The last little bit that he didn't quite finish, I finished up on Friday, after he headed back to the city.  I also managed to get a start on the tile backsplash in the kitchen.
The rest of the time we just relaxed, cooked some good meals, and had a few beers.  It was a really relaxing and enjoyable visit, and we got a bunch of stuff accomplished too...!!
