This and That Mixed with Fun


Could there be a better way to start your holiday and sitting by the bonfire and enjoying fun with friends. And the mosquitoes? All MIA!


Sitting by the shore, writing my morning pages while watching the sunrise; what could be more beautiful? Sweaters and socks were needed, but the sounds and the view along with warm coffee made these mornings unforgettable.



Peace. Peaceful. Contentment.  Beauty. Amazement. 
Confirmation of Creator's perfect design.



Checking out the views from up high. The only thing missing was a boat ride down below. Still, peaceful.


Hiking the trails was a perfect activity. 
Some even braved the steep downhill.


Home cooked meal on the barbie, great people around the table, and
a breathtaking view over the lake: perfect ending to a perfect day.

    1. The only problem with this trip was that it was too short!

  5. Such a beautiful setting! I think the mosquitoes have moved to Missouri. Every evening they send me inside. Seems like a perfect place to reflect and relax (especially with mosquitoes MIA)!

  8. Thanks for including us in your vacation. The pics are amazing. I'm partial to the tree and water view, but that's because I love trees. Must have been so fun to write on the beach. Did you have s'mores around that fire pit? Your words slowed me down, encouraged me to breathe, and helped me savor the moments with you. Yeah for vacations (even short ones)!
