Our first lake-vacation of the year began with cosy rain. Perfect for grabbing one of Grandma's handmade quilts (which we all helped stitch around the frame in her basement) and curling up in the sun porch with tea and knitting or a book.
After the first night, the rain was past, but not the cool clouds. We just dressed for the weather and lived outdoors anyway.
M&J came to enjoy one evening with us. The rest of us stayed out three nights - a record for us for many years past!
The Weta sailboat was out every day despite some low winds.
We are still learning the quirks of this new boat, but it greatly endeared itself to us in three days. Dad took several runs to carry different passengers including my uncles and a cousin on her first-ever sail when the family gathered on Sunday afternoon.
Mom had her first ride, and agreed that it is much more comfortable than our old boats which "tipped" so easily. This boat primarily shoots ahead when a gust comes along. Fun!
I even had my first solo sail in this boat, a peaceful and exciting time by turns. The perfect time to sing The Doxology.
Meanwhile, we enjoyed fresh garden produce and a few of our flowers from home. The quaint cottage kitchen makes meal prep both fun and a little more challenging.
