On the Lake

This weekend was wonderful. It was so nice to spend time up north, in this land of forests and lakes. And I'm excited to say my parents just bought a house up here. It's right on a lake and came with a big pontoon boat. I can't wait to come up to enjoy the water and woods peacefulness, and to keep our connection to this beautiful area that means to much to my family.

Happy July!

It's the height of summer and this month I'm hoping for sunshine, outdoor parties and swimming. We may no longer get summer vacation but we can still have fun, carefree days. Let's jump in!

Lake Effect

This weekend was all about lakeside lounging. On Saturday, my husband and I returned to a terrace we love. We were very conscious that there was nothing we needed to do and no place else we needed to be, so we nabbed a perch overlooking the water and enjoyed the sunshine that gradually gave way to stormy skies and a rainbow. It was a truly wonderful summer afternoon. And on Sunday, my mom's side of the family gathered at my aunt's lake house. We had four generations together -- from two babies up through my grandmother -- something that made the day even more of a joy. Ahh, summer weekends are the best!

Ahh, the Weekend

With a busy week at work and a major project still looming at home, I'm glad the weekend is almost here. And I'm especially glad that we don't have many plans. If Monday morning comes and our biggest accomplishment was taking the pup for a stroll by the lake, I'll be quite pleased.

Have a great weekend!
