We bought a lake house a couple of years ago and for the second year had the girls and some of their friends here for my birthday and anniversary event. Last year we attempted to have a big shindig that I dubbed The Shindig, but mostly only the young uns came to celebrate with us. The older crowd either doesn't have good feelings around sharing a bed in a dorm-like space, day-drinking like we're 35, or other reasons I'd rather not explore.
😁 - that is the creepiest emoji I've seen!
So . . . since it's my birthday month and since I actually say childlike things like "birthday month" I am here until the middle of July more or less.
My sweet Pup left last night and won't be back for four days.
I like being here on my own.
So today all I did was laundry (Lots of guest laundry! The only downside to having company), dishes, cleaned out the fridge (oy to the things people leave!), floor mopping, and I took a long needed shower.
And since it rained most of the day I hung out on YouTube, watched movies, watched CNN on a Fire Stick, groused about the current state of politics, and ate a few inappropriate leftovers (grrr!), and nursed my bad knee.
It's lovely here. Quiet and serene. We have a momma deer and her baby frolicking through the yard from time to time and catching a glimpse of them is the BEST. I'd love to catch a photo of them, but enjoy them in the moment even more than reaching for my phone.
A few weeks ago Pup was mowing and found the brand new fawn cuddled up against the back of our garage. He made me call the DNR to make certain the baby wasn't abandoned and sure enough the momma will leave the baby in a safe place and go out and do momma things. Then the momma will return and move the baby. We saw the baby cuddled up near a tree line on our other property the next day. And now the baby is running with her/his long legs after the momma. Glorious to see.
I guess I don't have any message here. Although messages are not necessary are they? It's a great summer as it bounds along. Always lovely.
Bisou!

Loved the lake update. Wish you'd added pics. Lots and lots. But the quote -- perfect. Well said.
We don't have deer in our "woods" in front of our lake house, but we have lots of squirrels, chipmunks and squirrels, sufficient entertainment when all ya wanna do is curl up near the windows (or sit on the patio) and watch the simpler life.
I miss reading your blogs and hearing your laughter-laced comments.
Smooches, Lake Lady.
