Fun at the Lake
Sorry, no photos...forgot to bring my card reader and camera with me at all times; a problem if you come across unexpected Internet connections!
This week has been wonderful. I am going to say it again: I am RELAXING. So now I know I know how to! Mornings of leisurely coffee drinking, evenings of catching up with friends and family and spotting shooting stars.
Oh, and I got up on water skis! It has been several years and at least two children since I have done that. Of course Carolyn managed to ski on one ski and go in and out of the wake like she was playing a simple game of hopscotch.
An update on bringing Tino, the dog on vacation. We won't do it again, and I don't think my mother will even suggest it. He is old. We think fifteen. (He came home from the SPCA in 1995 and the vet thinks he was two). His hind legs are really stiff and giving him fits. He sits down with a thud and has real trouble standing up and stairs are a huge problem. They are simply non-negotiable. So imagine getting out of the lake. It isn't pretty. He gets in fine, but then has a hard time making it out. We thought we were going to need to rig a hoist with a towel. But he does take it all in but I do think it will be his last trip here. Even getting in and out of the car at rest stops was hard.
We do also have Matt and Carolyn's dog, Finn, a pup, with us and he comes on the boat with his life vest on, aptly named the "Fido Float". Fun!
My friend Katy had to leave today, which was sad, as we have the kind of friendship where we just pick right up wherever we last left off, whether days, months or years. Those are special friends. We never ran out of things to talk about and decided we could probably be very compatible travelling together. Tomorrow Howie's sister leaves, and Saturday home for the rest of us. But it has been a wonderful week.
Even the girls have been getting along. Imagine that! Peace.
