I know you're probably tired of hearing about it...

But we've been at the lake again...



We worked very hard at appreciating the windfall of a bonus last weekend at Schoodic...

Without the thought of an entire year before we are graced by its sandy shore...

No room for tears or lamenting.

Just some good ol' fashion fun, sand, sun...

and mermaids...

some funny faces...

some looking like a rock star...

a little bit of snuggling...

and a wonderful, serendipitous sailboat ride.

First Mate Brevan.

And Captain Russell. Age 80. Spunk: 100%. Sense of humor: through the roof. Enjoyment of sailing his 17 ft. O'Day around Schoodic Lake? Out of sight.

And finally, when all is said and done and you must face the fact that the mornings are now so chilly you need multiple layers and a heater and hot chocolate, the lake is a tiny bit frigid and you have to relent to the passing of summer...

Time for a snuggle and a few last laughs.

How lucky...
