I wasn't going to do a blog post today - - - I was just going to check in, read comments, and respond to them. BUT - - - after reading your comments I just couldn't resist posting.

It is TRUE that YOU are making our vacation more fun. Even though you aren't here with us in PERSON - - - you are blogging with me and that is adding a very special dimension to the whole trip. I'm telling ya - - - I need to go on vacation more OFTEN, my blog hits are WAY up which tells me while my vacation life may be quite exciting, my regular at-home life is not!!!

I am working on a couple of what I hope will be fun and funny posts - - - but they are going to require a series of pictures and I have yet to capture all of those. So, at this point they are only in my head and in my camera - - - stay tuned - - - there is MORE to come.

Last evening our friends Mark and Jennie arrived. Greggie is sooooo happy to have a fishing buddy and Jenny and I just read and do puzzles to our hearts' content. The three of them are moseying around the shops while I blog. We just finished playing put-put, which I am proud to say I did not lose - - - only came in THIRD instead of dead last. That's NEWS folks.

We expect the arrival of our friend, Bob Streeter, at any moment. There WILL be funny Bob stories soon, I'm SURE.

This is my vista from the library window as I sit here blogging.


This is the shore line in one direction from our cabin. I took this picture on one of the weekend days when the lake was pretty choppy.


This is the shoreline going in the other direction from our cabin. This USED to be a resort, which was sold, the buildings leveled, and these empty lots sold for $350k EACH!!!!! Somebody on this planet must still have lots of pocket change!!! So far no "mansions" have been built there yet - - - but they are COMING.


And this is a view of our Little Cabin in the Woods from the dock. You can tell from this angle that it actually is a LITTLE cabin. I took some flack from some of you about it not looking very little - - - so last night I paced it off and did the math - - - it's about 600 square feet inside. I DO call that little!! Lovely - - - fun - - - relaxing - - - BUT LITTLE!!!! Now, I will give ya this much - - - the DECK is big.

Stay tuned - - - - more vacation clips to come - - -
