Greetings Everyone!
For the past few days our days have been cloudy with lots of wind. We've had a few light showers but no big rains -- although, our neighbors on the other side of the mountains -- in Seward -- have been getting dumped on.
So - with all that in mind -- we don't venture out onto the lake. We stay put and take care of on-going projects -- like pumping water, doing laundry, organizing, baking and whew!! In spite of the winds, we are catching-up on projects. You know the kind - the one that you tell yourself "I'll get to that later."
Yesterday - we took our lawn mover and went over to our neighbor's to help him out with his yard work. It was actually fun -- since I like to mow -- so I enjoyed myself.
A couple of days ago - when the lake was 'flat' - Ernie took us for a boat ride (below) - it was very scenic.
As we approached home -- I snapped a photo of our cabin -- below.
Between projects -- I convinced Ernie to make me a lamp out of a drift wood log that had washed ashore during last falls storm. I know I'll have a lot of enjoyment reading by this lamp -- right now we've too much daylight to use the lamp.
Now we are gearing up for the 4th of July. This year we will host the Island's 4th of July gathering. It's a potluck affair - so it will be exciting to see what everyone brings and catch-up on friendships. Ernie plans to make his favorite rum cake and Sloppy Joe's -- both are very yummy!
On this 4th -- we'd like to give a shout out to Jess (my daughter's husband and grand daughters' father) -- he's serving another tour in Afghanistan -- flying his Blackhawk.. We are thinking of him -- and the other soldiers serving at this time. Our prayers are with you.
Take care -- and have a safe, Happy 4th!!
