Our Much Needed Scenic Getaway


Hello friends! It is so good to be back to my Bella Blog...
it means things have slowed down enough
that I have time to write!

 
We took some much needed time to be together as a family to our scenic getaway in the Adirondack Mountains.


A place where we can enjoy the outdoors
and dine "al fresco"... 




Where we can see nature in all of its beauty...
 

And hear the call of the loons...


And enjoy the new crop of ducks and their ducklings...
 
 
 


Where the only important thing that needs to
get done is to go fishing...
 
 

Where we can feel right at home in this quaint little town that is right out of a story book set in the 1950's...
This is our favorite parade to watch, every year.
 
 


Where we can put all of the hustle and bustle of daily life out of our minds for a few days, or maybe even a week...

Hope you've had some relaxing days too, and if not, that you'll be still for just awhile...


We enjoyed our time at the lake. This year we took my Dad along. He loved it so I'm glad he was there. Alzheimer's is a difficult disease, the dementia and confusion are tough to deal with, for him, as well as for us, but we are getting through it day by day. Some days are better than others.

The weather is great now so we are working on a few projects for the shop, now that we are back! We picked up a couple of custom orders and in my next post I will share them with you.

Thanks so much for catching up on what we're up to! I'm trying to post at least once a month. After I get through the last days of school, Bebe's "Gala" dance recital, and a quick trip to the beach ... I'll have more time.

Summer is here! Yay!

A Summer Place at the Lake

Another summer at the lake
filled with good times
and lots of outdoor sunshine!
Now that we have most
of the renovations finished
it is time to enjoy the water
and surrounding area.
Yea!


 
While hubby was driving
the boat I was getting
creative with the camera lens...

 
I never thought I was
 the type to enjoy a
trip around the lake
in a canoe but you
know what...
I really like it!

 
And a Momma duck found
that our dock was a great
place for rest and relaxation.
Unfortunately they
also thought it was a
great place to do
their morning "business."
 

 
In comes the water
for a clean up!
(Notice my attempts at watermarks?)
 

Bebe enjoyed every minute
outside. From flowers
to fishing she just
soaked it all in.

 
Especially the boat rides.
Faster Daddy, Faster!
 

 
I couldn't resist this shot.
Father / Daughter fishing.
Too cute.
 

 
When did my Bebe get so big?
 
 
And when did she learn
how to fish! Go Bebe!

 
Maybe next year I'll
get brave and try
kayaking.... it looks
like such fun!


 
This is one of my favorite shots.
We had the mallard ducks
sitting on our dock
and this Mother duck
(A common Merganser)
would sometimes carry
all of her ducklings on
her back and wings.
It was a sight to see.


All right in front of our lake house.
We have been surely blessed.
