Ah, recharged batteries. Not only are they a beautiful thing in a camera, they’re also a beautiful thing in life.
I spent the last week pretty much unplugged, save reading a few blogs, and I enjoyed it very much. Sometimes I forget I can do things other than type. With Padawan Learner’s birthday and our first week off of the summer’s morning lessons, it was a good time to step back and do a few things I had been putting off like laundry reading and crafting and petting cats for more than a moment and hanging out with my two favorite men – add a long holiday weekend into that and so much the better.
Yesterday, I finished my week of pure relaxation with a trip out to The Lake to see Qui-Gon Jinn, Endicott and C-3PO at their cottage. We had a great time trying out the kayaks (well, the guys did – the moms chatted), sitting on the beach, soaking up the sun, having a yummy dinner together and relaxing some more later.
At all times, Indy, Head of Cottage Security, was available to protect us and eat our red licorice. He was prepared, on-guard and in control of the situation at all times, even when it looked like he wasn’t.
So glad you had a restful time. There is nothing like a shoreside (Lake Michigan?) seat for peace and relaxation. And ooooh….just thinking of a Kayak makes my shoulders hurt! I know, I’m a wimp…..
I’ve been wondering where you were!
Glad you had a nice break.
Now get back to blogging.

Looks like fun. And to think, I’m spending my break time painting. I’m definitely doing something wrong . . .
Oh it all looks wonderful! Welcome home!
That looks wonderful!
It sounds like you had a wonderful time! The pictures make me long for a vacation at the lake — just seven weeks to go until it’s my turn! Glad you’re back!
Wow, those comments came in fast. “You like me. You really like me.”
Theresa: Is there any other?
They ask: What lake is your cottage on?
Simple answer: Lake Michigan
Obnoxious answer: The one you can see from SPACE!
Thats a LAKE??? That’s the biggest lake I ever did see!! So it’s like the sea but no salt. How wonderful
What a relaxing holiday.
keptwoman: Funny you should say that, Qui-Gon Jinn’s shirt says, “Lake Michigan unsalted”
Interesting factoid: The 5 Great Lakes (Huron, Ontario, Michigan, Erie and Superior) hold 1/5 of all the world’s fresh water.
