Scenes from the Lake Part 2 & A Vintage Style July 4th Parade

Where do I begin?

Seriously.

We had such a great

time at the lake.

From working on the house

to boating, to a crazy

rummage sale...we did it all! 

 I took tons of pictures

And it is taking me forever

to get through the editing process.

 We saw fireworks from our dock.

Big ones!

 I saw a lot of loons!

And these birds, too!

(Ha ha!)

No, really, I loved hearing them,

seeing them dive, and taking
pictures of them.

They are a unique and

special animal.

I can see why they
fascinate people.

I went out on the boat and

was overwhelmed by God's great,

and beautiful creation.

We fished.

I loved this shot.

Reminded me of Tom Sawyer

 and Huck Finn.

 We paraded.
Well, from the sidelines

that is!

What a fun time!

The parade highlighted the

town's 200th celebration.

It was so much fun!

I wanted to take

so many photos but was

helping Bebe grab candy

being thrown every

which way! 

 We continued working on our

house. One of my

favorite things to do

was to take breaks

out on the deck.

Here is the finished kitchen.

Just a couple of small things

to do here and there.

Maybe a dishwasher

for a "Someday?"

I forgot how much I am spoiled

by a dishwasher.

Paper plates anyone?

And my big thrill of the week was attending

a the local rummage sale. I started decorating some

of the bedrooms with my finds.

Wait until you see the line to get in...

I snapped a photo!

Next post...more on the parade

and the rummage sale...see the treasures I found

for Bella Rosa!
