Wonderful Weekend On The Water......










see the purple martin feeding??









 Last weekend proved to be the busiest weekend on the Lake...so far this year...
Waterskiers....canoeists...jet-skiers...pole floaters...{not really sure what this sport is called...guess I should look it up!!!....nope! not gonna! Ha!}

And I even spied a floating dock down by the point...near the Provincial Park...

My boyfriend went in up to his knees...to cool off...that was after it had been kind of rough in the afternoon, and then the winds switched to the North, and calmed the Lake down... We enjoyed the sunsets on the beach deck...this was only one example...I have some more awesome ones to share...

This was the only night....Saturday....that the Moon was visible...too overcast the other nights...This weekend it should be over the Lake...now that is special!!! Hope I can get a few shots of that!!



Okay...so I caved in, and looked it up!!!

It is called Stand Up Paddling...SUP...now we all know!!!

Spent a busy day here...
My boyfriend was out on the road, so I decided it was a good day to streak my hair!!! And I also applied a collagen mask to my face...I guess I should just get a mask...and stop worrying about what I look like!!!

While my hair and face were cooking...I did a bit of blog work...

I am sporting a new header....and a new profile picture...thanks to all of your lovely comments...{liars!!!}..I used the one from a week or so back...I also like it...all gauzey like Doris Day...Actually a dear friend in highschool, used to call me Doris Day...HA!

I also organized my closet...and filled a big bag to donate...that always makes me feel good....also found a few things that were lurking "underneath" other things!!!

I also got Sweet Cheeks birthday gifts sorted out...

After showering...and throwing in the 2nd load of laundry...I headed for Wal-Mart...

Needed lots of small things...

Then I headed to Superstore, to check out the Joe Fresh clothes...they are so cool...I picked up a couple of things for Miss V, that had been marked down....I do love a bargain!!!

I then headed to the grocery store, to pick up some fish for dinner....

After that...around 4pm...I headed down to Daycare...and brought Sweet CHeeks home with me!!! Gave her a delightful bath...nice clean sleeper....snack...drink...all ready for her Mom to pick up at 5pm...Now, all she has to do is give her dinner...cuddles...and off to bed!!

What did you all do today???  Were you busy????


On the menu tonight...

     BBQ'D Cajun Tilapia...grilled peppers & mushrooms...grilled taters...


          Hope you all enjoy your evening...

             I think today was possibly the hottest to date...

                Hopefully some rain in the forecast!


                                   Cheers!   :o)

  1. It certainly does look like it was a very busy weekend on the lake. That's so nice to see people outdoors and enjoying nature. I like your new header photo and your new profile photo. (you do a great job on your hair) :) It sounds like you had a very busy day. It's too hot here to do much although I was in town today for appointments and groceries. We have to eat I'm afraid. Hugs.

  2. It looks wonderful and although I am not big on going out on boats, in this heat, I might be tempted.
    Or at least to sit at the edge of the water. Beautiful photos, Linda !!

    1. The closest thing we have to a"boat", is our peddle boat! I am not a real boater, either...so that is why I sit on the deck...admire the view...and zoom in on people! Wonder if anyone is zooming in on me?!
      Thanks for visiting Candice...

  8. Yesterday started out good for me. I went to Ladies' Prayer and took my coffee along to sip on. It was mid morning when the headache started and I took some Ibuprofen which did nothing. Turns out my coffee was decaf. I won't bother writing here how the evening went... Suffice it to say I am once again in fear of my favorite beverage.

      Are they migraines? or just darn stupid headaches?

  10. I love those paddlers! Can you imagine if we ever got down there, how in the world would be get up???? We can't even get off a mat on the gym floor. It would not be graceful or as adorable as those two. Love that photo sequence :)
