Back home and the adjustment is not preferable. We were not ready to leave the lake! I could have stayed a few more weeks. Other than lack of having internet, I really did not miss being home. And during the last week, I even discovered that the Marina has WIFI! Some friends came to visit and there are always lake friends that are already there. Several of our family-friends have cottages near us. Lily and I were able to see them quite a bit. One of them became a morning walking partner. It is a different world, being at the lake. Lily even said as we were leaving, "No, I stay." HAHA.

It feels good being home in the sense of organization.....I have been working my tushy off getting organized and I still have a long way to go. Food, laundry, clothes, toys, mail....UGH.

Matt and I celebrated out 9th wedding anniversary while we were there. We had Lily with us so it was not THAT exciting, but Matt took the day off and we were able to spend it together.

Trying to decide whether to take Daisy's pictures off my fridge or leave them. They are everywhere and I am feeling a little overwhelmed about having them everywhere. Not sure if it is healthy.

Lake Living

Lake living is great. Other than the bugs we had the first few days, life has been good! We have had a few friends up, have gotten to swim most days, eaten good food, walked around the lake often, and just hung low too. Lily is loving being at Lake Gage. She is my LAKER and I am so excited to have her be my buddy.

We are home today to run a few errands and get mail/pay bills, then back as soon as Lily is up from her nap. It does feel good to be home for a few minutes. A month is a long time to be gone and yet it goes so fast! I have a HUGE pile of magazines/catalogs to work my way through while I am up there and haven't even started. Somehow the days and nights pass me by and I just haven't gotten around to it. I am currently reading The Help and it is AMAZING! LOVE IT! I am having a hard time putting it down. Lily is great about playing while I read, though.

Off to do a few more things around the house before my princess awakens.
