Another hot day means another lake. This morning we took it a little slower and did some housework before leaving for an adventure. We loaded up the truck and drove out of the driveway just before 10:00 am. Yes, that is a slow morning.
We arrived at the Sharbot Lake Provincial Park about an hour later. We unloaded our kayak and blew up the paddle board.
We set up our chairs and were ready for lunch, lake side. After enjoying a few snacks that we brought,
Ron dove in the water for a swim. I paddled beside him.
After about 40 minutes, we were both back on the dock. I cooled off in the water and then we sat and enjoyed the area. After a while, we went back out on the lake. Ron kayaked and I kayaked on the paddle board.
The wind picked up a bit and the clouds rolled in. We headed back to shore. It rained a bit but not enough to move us out. We sat and enjoyed a loon show.
After another swim, we started packing up. The weather had improved again and people were finding our hideaway.
We drove into Sharbot Lake and stopped for a treat.
We just started driving home when we got a call about Sarah not feeling well. She had been camping with Jett’s family. We received a second call that she wasn’t doing too well and Marci decided to take her to the hospital. We assumed that she was dehydrated or bothered by the extreme heat. We drove through Tamworth and changed vehicles and headed to the hospital in Picton. We arrived to Sarah lying down in the examining room. Her face was swollen and her eyes almost closed.
Her one foot was puffy and had little feeling. It wasn’t much longer before a resident came in and then a doctor. The doctor took one look and said “poison ivy.” I guess it is all over in the county and especially at the Sand Banks. Sarah had fallen prey to it. She was given some meds and a prescription and we were on our way home. Poor girl will be suffering for a while but hopefully she will heal up quick. She is tucked away in her bed tonight and we will see what tomorrow brings.
