Summertime is calling me....

So, Annie graduated from High School,


Serious ping pong was on the evenings agenda


And we celebrated!


Yep, I pulled out the old sewing machine, remembered how to use it, and made table runners...






And so did the graduates...
The next day, Finley turned 5







And we celebrated some more...



We headed to Michigan, for a working weekend...


And for those amazing Michigan sunsets



Our first sighting of The Badger for the year


An ice fishing house...on skis. Looks like fun...no, it really does not.


Oh, and another sunset...


The start of the summer flowers...


The gorgeous spring lilacs



A view of the courts from our walk....


A view of us from our walk....we were cramping their style I think.


A little roof repair...or rather a roof with a view


Dinner on Hamlin Lake


Hannah and Annie


Mags and her boys


Mil and I


I guess it was a hard winter...poor dock


Oh, just another sunset.


Even though the lake was only 50 degrees, they managed to enjoy it. I would have definitely heard from The senior water class at the Y....


So did I tell you how gorgeous the lilacs were?


Words don't do them justice


Did I tell you that I fell? Well, let me show you, I fell. It hurt. I was mad.


Our lighthouse...well, ok, it's not like we own it....we just think we do. And yes, I bought this wine for the label


Cold water, don't care, one bit. Take that Senior Water Class


Millie and I tore out a ceiling...and found this amazing breadboard.


Yes, whatever they want.
