Thanks Polly for all the comments on the blog-love to hear from you and all always.

Wanted to post this picture of Lily tubing last week. Cannot believe she is tubing at TWO years old! LOVE IT. She is my true laker--she's got it in the blood. Talks about Lake Gage quite a bit.

Monday and Tuesday turned out to be a little crazy again. Today isn't quite so crazy, but we did have new concrete poured on the front stoop of our house. Our old one was deteriorating. And we have a birthday dinner tonight for John, Grandma's friend.

Am working on getting all our laundry done, as I need to start packing for our month at the cottage. I am really starting to get excited about it, since we are leaving soon. Want to get a few things made ahead, like hummus and homemade dressing. So, I am going to be working on those last minute things alot in the next week or so. YEAH for an affordable, MONTH long vacation. Perfect for my soul. Definitely will give me time to heal even more. Being at the lake has always been so much of my being that I know it will be a healthy thing to be there.
