Summer's Over!

This is a sad day at Mystic Bay as it feels like summer is truly over. The pool and hottub is being drained and ready for winter. It's a good thing that Susie, Sandy, and I took our final dip in it on Saturday and to our suprise the heat was off! As always our guys were proud of us!!

Finally, A Beautiful Fall Weekend!

Terry & I took advantage of the beautiful day, Sunday to take a boat ride and enjoy the changing colors and calm waters. We really enjoyed getting out after the awful cold and rainy weather we've had.

After a fun lunch on the lake we went to dinner at one of our favorites, the KC Diner!! The menu consisted of Jambalaya, shrimp stew, and Gary's famous bread pudding. Terry was Gary's sous bitch for the night and learned how to make a roux.

Washer Tournament!!

The highlight of the weekend was the barbecue and washer tournament we went to in Climax Springs with Brian and Virginia.

The hostess Donna, me, and Virginia.

Terry & Dawn his partner placed 4th in the tournament.

Quick Trip to Omaha

We finally made it back to Omaha to pick up the plane. The 6 hour drive was definitely worse than the 2 hour flight home. We had a beautiful flight home and you can tell who the serious one is in this self-portrait.

Maybe I'm not so dumb afterall!

OK, Debbie K, I'm pretty proud of myself to figure out why my comments weren't working. Maybe this is my new calling!!

Lauren's 1 Year Old!!

Lauren wasn't sure what to do with her cake at first but once she got a taste of the icing she went to town.

We had a whirlwind trip to Omaha to celebrate Lauren's 1st birthday. We flew up on Friday after returning home long enough to pack again from our trip out east. Our good friends RK & DK had a wonderful dinner prepared that night and we met their friends George & Bernie. Winds came up and we had to leave the plane in Omaha and bring Kusleika's jeep home instead. What would we do without you guys, we love you?

Celebrating 30 Years!

Terry & I decided that we'd go to the East Coast to celebrate 30 years of putting up with each other. We flew into Boston and enjoyed staying on the wharf, seeing the history, and of course the food and drinks. We then went down to the Cape and stayed at Inn on the Sound that overlooked Martha's Vineyard. Bicycling on MV, waking up to the oceanviews, and gourmet breakfasts by our host Howard & Janet made this a memorable experience.

We then headed up to Maine to stay on the coast at Black Point Inn and by this time being together 24/7 was starting to wear on both of us after not living together fulltime for several years. As you can see by the pic above I had my chance when Terry fell down the cliff but decided to take pity and save him.

The coast of Maine is beautiful and I'd highly recommend this Inn as the setting and history is wonderful. Just 15 minutes south of Portland we had access to great restaurants. We ate our share of lobster and seafood.
