Hey, I know her!

Alyson was honored for exemplory service at a ceremony this past week. She received a weekend away at Deerhurst and an offer to let her "kiss the General" from that guy.
(I really hope his title is the General-something although I don't think that makes the offer any more appealing or appropriate)


Congratulations Alyson!!

I feel like I'm on vacation in my own town! Maybe it's the upside-down quality of my life - evanescence of our family, renovation chaos at my house, summer patterns disrupted by seasonal change or having a new toy - but whatever it is, I LIKE IT!
Saturday morning I bounced out of bed at 7:30am and was at the beach by 8. I remembered my camera this time and was setting up a self-timer shot when a woman (who looks exactly like Morty's mom) offered to take this photo of me. It really doesn't do justice to the sky that morning, the sunrise and clouds were spectacular. (and you might say that blows my theory about people on the lake not acting like water people but as it turns out, she and her husband are sailors, seven seas and all that, originally from Bermuda, so my theory stands.)
As before I paddled to the canoe club and got my outrigger for the return trip.
