To The Lake We Go...

Well today we are off to the lake, so I am writing this in real time jsyk, but I cannot post it until we get home. I forgot the USB cables for my cameras. Sometimes I amaze myself!

Today the boys and I had a few errands to run. We got those done all before noon, that was our goal. If it started storming again like yesterday being out in it was not something that I cared to experience. We pulled in the garage and the thunder started. I was proud of the perfect timing.

I started to work on Catherine's wedding album and DVD labels. Check out my photography journey blog for more on her wedding. It was beautiful. I cannot wait to deliver the products. I will touch base with her Monday. At least that is the plan. Hopefully it will work.

I also got some schoolwork done. In an attempt to relax a little more this weekend. While I am not done, at least progress has been made, which alone is a great feeling.

As soon as Brandon got off we loaded the truck and headed to the lake. It was a long trip because we had several stops to make, but it was pleasant. It lightening almost the whole trip. In fact it still is so I am off for now. Hopefully to bed soon. Know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Saturdays at the Lake

There is nothing better than a holiday weekend at the lake....well except a holiday weekend at the beach! Even if my toes are not in sand, there is water, which always makes things more enjoyable!

We were at the water most of the day today, which is great for several reasons. We are making memories Danny and John Michael will have forever, not to mention Brandon and myself. They also get VERY tired, which means bedtime is usually not a HUGE fight. It also seriously helps my mood to relax and my mind to be more open.

Tonight several of the neighbors started to test out their fireworks. It was great to get some mini shows. Tomorrow night seems to be the night that everyone is shooting so we will also be shooting ours. Most of them anyway, we will probably save some for the 4th. I hope that we will anyway. I love fireworks, but seriously who doesn't?

Danny fished for a while today, but had no luck. He was not very happy. I tried to explain to him that the heat of the day was not ideal for fishing off a pier, especially in an area that can get as busy as ours with sea-doos and boats. Hopefully he will have better luck before the weekend is over. If not there is always the next trip, but that will be in a few weeks. This is seriously been a non stop summer. We plan to come up though even after school starts, pick the boys up on Friday and head East on 20.

Well, I have been working on more pictures. I will have them done this week, but I will feel better when they are done. I do not like having to ask people to wait on me. Of course they know that it is worth it. Hopefully the facebook posts are at least giving them an idea of what to expect. Speaking of that I have a few copyright releases to get out! Sorry for the delay if you are waiting on one!

Well, I am off to bed shortly. I am about to the halfway point on my paper and then I am calling it quits, at least for now. Rest does me a lot of good. Looking forward to spending tomorrow with my family and friends! Know that you are all in my prayers as always! I hope that you are having a great 4th of July weekend!
