A Quiet Morning, Fog on the Lake, 53 degrees Outside

Looks Like a Fall Day

Happy Happy

Up at 6:45 to a quiet house, made the coffee, took a picture of the fog on the lake, and got caught up on my blogging, something I have not felt much like doing, I suppose because you need the leisure and quiet and it's not been that the last week, with Dot and Dad, Els, Walt and Paul Storey, and now Linda and Rich.  I am not complaining, as we will probably have few if any more over night guests for the next ten months, unless someone braves the winter roads, or wants to come out for the fall leaf foilage.

Evie, Patsi and I are all up, Patsi and I working on our blogs, both of them telling me about mistakes on my blog.  We both have some really good pictures and enjoy playing around with them, using them on the blog.

We have had a good day, beautiful blue skies, mild temperatures, and just the right amount of things to do.  We went for a long walk through the woods at Long Point, about an hour and a half, enjoying the trees and greenery, as we walked all the way out to the point and back, though the locust trees, and back to the car.  We then hit the Bemus Point Mall, a couple of other shops, then across the bridge to the west side of the lake, up to the Artists' Loft, to look around, then to the Lighthouse, for peaches, corn, and some pea meal bacon.  We came home, then, had turkey sandwiches, leftovers, and black bean soup.  The rest of the afternoon, we sat on the dock and read, enjoying the sun and lake, till 5:30 when we began our bean bag tournament.  A series of great games, with an eventual tie between Linda and I and Evie and Walt.  About 6:30, we went in and started getting ready for dinner, filets about two inches thick on the grill, corn, salad and a tomato salad.  The meat was done perfectly, nice and rare, yet tender and tasty.  After dinner and clean up, we played Telefunky in Mom's memory, finishing around 10:45.

Yum

We could not have asked for a better day; we did not end up dancing like last year but that's fine, as it was a great day.  It's nice to see we enjoy being with each other and we are thinking of getting together some time later in the fall, perhaps at Gettysburg, to tour the battle field and spend a night or two in a bed and breakfast.  It probably won't work out because of our schedules but we are thinking of trying.
