ahhh, home again...

 

Costco the other day...Christmas already?!
And, the lake...so nice

We did not use the jet ski.  

The Airbnb was quite nice, the upstairs was full of windows too.
The ducks, cute and annoying.  There were around 45 of them, quacking around together.
Emily and Camille, the oldest and the youngest...

This looks almost fake...

We spent the entire day outside on Saturday.  I didn't go swimming because it was quite rocky, and the rocks were slippery.  If there were a ladder on the dock I would have gone in, but I didn't want to slip and fall.  But it was lovely anyway, all sunshine with a bit of a cool breeze from the water.  

We grilled steak in the dark, grilled chicken in the late afternoon with the golden hour sun making everything look magical.  We had charcuterie on the comfy patio furniture, and lounged on it later for a nice fire, Miss Cam toasted marshmallows.  We had some wine, only a few sips for me, we laughed our heads off, and we relaxed.  

Home...so nice to see Paul, finally!  He's home from Ireland, and he brought me a Guiness chocolate bar, which I have not cracked into yet.  He is right back to being busy, he tarred the driveway yesterday.  (Good luck with that, with two big Labradors who don't understand Stay Off The Driveway.)(yes, Suri did walk right down it and come in to the house...)

We have yet to cover the pool, but shh, I might get in it today...this stretch of nice weather, some extra summer, so nice.

Now I'm heading to the pool, so have a good day!

I'm not ready for Christmas yet, they seem to put it out earlier every year!
Your time at the Air Bnb looks so nice! Beautiful place and setting.
You just enjoy that pool as long as you can!

Have a lovely evening. 😊
