up early and, after the rather long hike to the bathroom, spent some time at the water’s edge… beautiful view as the fog rolled across the still water and I could hear fish jumping just out of sight…
nice way to start the day… tomorrow I might take a chair down to watch the sunrise…
breakfast made on the campfire, followed by fishing, tubing, wakeboarding and kneeboarding…
in amongst all that I had a boat driving lesson and did quite well…

spent my Saturday in my new normal… a quiet day to recharge my batteries…
a few chores – watering the plants, putting chemicals in the hot tub, laundry… chatting with my girls on the phone or by text…
the garden needs work before the weather changes, but this Fall I am not motivated at all to get the work done…
George loved to putter around on Saturdays… cleaning the garage, working in the garden… going for bike rides… he liked TV as well…
watched some skating and a few cooking shows…
made coleslaw and used up a few frozen wieners which I cooked with brussel sprouts and a baked potato…
pleased that I’ve been using up things in the freezer…
used to run around and do shopping and errands and use Sunday to relax…
missing my beloved… don’t really love my new normal…

big girl pants, donation items, dumpling recipe, full moon, leaking pond, lent car, overcast, reorganized the kitchen, Saturday, tons of leaves
spent a quiet day… mostly overcast with a bit of rain here and there… didn’t have any urge to go out anywhere…
Crystal came by to pick up and drop off the car, which she was borrowing for a few errands…
reorganized the kitchen a bit by moving the recycling box under the counter… made chicken and dumplings for my dinner which got me thinking about my mom… the dumpling recipe I use is one she always used… these days I am cutting it in half as I don’t want to be eating dumplings for days, lol…
when I made the turkey stock the other day, I roasted the bones first and I am not sure if I like the flavour or not…
put chemicals in the hot tub, watched some tv and cleaned out my closet… even managed to put a few clothing items into a box to give away…
felt like I just did what I wanted which was very nice…
had to unplug the pump in the pond because it appeared to be running out of water… which leads me to think that the leak is still not fixed… I am going to have to deal with that again this week and also need to rake both the front and back yards as the trees have very generously donated leaves everywhere… sadly the tree next door still has lots of leaves on it, so no doubt we will have to rake again…
got this shot of the full moon the other night as I was arriving home from my dinner out, and the hour-long drive home… the lights on the new baby are much brighter than on the last car…
full moon over the garage…
