Back to School

Wow! A friend asked me today, "How was your first week back?" She's a teacher.

I said, probably for the first time in a long time, without reservation, "Excellent!"

The icing on the cake of the week was a Friday night date at the lake with my husband. It was quiet; we had a fire, a relaxing seafood supper, and an early night.

We spent some time talking about our lot at the lake - we've only been there 23 years.

We are in the process of making a change. We are planning to move to property we've bought and build a cabin there, same lake just a little further along the north shore. I know we'll miss Shaw's Point, but I think it's time to set up something a little permanent for retirement before retirement hits.

The plan is to get the new lot ready to park our motorhome on it next spring and see what that brings. In the meantime, there are quite a few projects around the house that need to get done. The garden and yard need to be cleaned up and windows need to be washed, etc.

With the new school routine, I am putting excercise on the back burner, but I've finished an embroidery project I've been working on, and I've also done a little watercolour painting. That said, I think it's time I quit procrastinating and go clean the stove.
