We have made several trips to the beach so far this summer and each has been pretty spectacular. This trip was hot and humid and there wasn't much of a cool breeze coming off the lake but if one is to be hot and sticky, what better place? And, it is truly incredible how a quick immersion in icy Lake Michigan can cool down a body.
We are leaving for a trip to the family lake house this weekend and will be gone until about the 23rd. At times on our visit we will be gloriously alone and other times will be joined by dear friends and eventually my sister, niece and nephew. We haven't seen them since they left to move to Virginia in January. I am really looking forward to all parts of the trip. Spending alone time away from the usual distractions with my two favorite boys, getting to spend a weekend with my oldest friend and her husband, reconnecting with my sister and discovering how six months has changed the interaction between cousins. I am hoping for a couple of weeks of vacation bliss...just add water.
Wait! Did I mention knitting? Because I will be knitting up a storm. I have tackled four holiday gift projects already and will be working on hats and mittens and perhaps a shawl or sweater while we are away. Every gift given by the Appleton Schultzes will be hand knit item...so if you are on our gifting list, prepare yourself for something fantastic with essence of the summer sun still clinging come December or January.
