And a lot to catch up on! Here’s a quick summary of our first week –
Monday –
As usual, we started with a jaunt to Lowes to pick up supplies for projects!
Don’t know exactly what all that is for, but I know the man has a plan. And I can respect that!
We unpacked, got settled, took naps, soaked in the cabin goodness.
Tuesday –
A perfect Vermont day – in which I must’ve done something, but apparently it wasn’t worth documenting with a photo. But I did catch a glimpse of one of Gary’s first projects-
Wednesday –
Another perfect Vermont day!
In the morning we got the floating dock over to the shore so Gary could re-work it to make it more stable. We know it needed work because as he attempted to get on it to pull up the ‘anchor’ (a 5 gal bucket filled with concrete), the entire thing tipped over ON HIM! He escaped injury (and even kept his glasses on his face!), but man – I wish someone had been videoing that!
My friend Lynne came in the afternoon for quick overnight visit – so lovely!
Thursday –
A beautiful day, where I got to sit and sew with Lynne and Gary worked on the new frame for the floating dock.
Friday –
Cool and rainy – and I’m sure we did something, but my camera is not giving me any clues.
Saturday –
Did some fun local activities with Chris in the morning (more on that later)
while Gary got an early start on burning the “Pit”.
We rounded out the day with a lovely afternoon spent with my brother and his wife.
It was one of those crazy Vermont summer days, where it’s hot and sunny one minute, and raining the next. But when all was said and done, it turned into quite a beautiful day!
Sunday –
Worship and a quiet Sabbath afternoon.
Monday (today!)
A misty morning that held great promise! Gary got the painting done on the floating dock
and later in the afternoon we took the riding mower for a little spa treatment. (Again – oh, for a video of he and I pushing it up the ramps to get it into the truck!). It sure came off easier!
Leftovers for dinner – and another early to bed (for Gary anyway) day is in the books.
It’s been a great (and full) first week. I enjoyed my little no-guilt break from blogging, but it feels good to be back. We’ll just have to see how the week goes!
Thanks for stoppin’ by! Hope you’ve had a good week too!
