Heading North to the Lake

Oh goodness, we've had a busy week! George and I are looking forward to heading up north to the lake to visit his folks for a long Father's Day weekend. As a result we've been sticking to a rigorous schedule so we can get all the loose ends tied up before leaving this morning.

The laundry is finally all caught up, (ironing included) and the house is cleaned with the exception of the dusting. I couldn't bear the idea of having a dust free home and not being around to enjoy it. George was able to finish up a big landscaping project for a customer this week, which involved some very long days. He also cut our lawn and dug into finding a way to fix the transmission on our garden tractor. Things have a way of breaking at the very worst time.

Last night and the night before we had some very strong thunder storms. When last night's storm hit, it felt like the north side of the house was going to cave in! Then the lights started to flicker as if the lights were on their way out. Not a good time for that to happen. I had our pizza in the oven and was still trying to finish up the last of the laundry. We got the candles out and filled a couple of pitchers of water just in case. Thankfully the power stayed on.

I love lying in bed watching the flashes of lightning listening to the crashing rain and thunder. It's funny, I always sleep so well when it feels like the whole world is coming down around me.

Once we have some coffee and watch the news together, we will load up the car and head out for a fun weekend. Hopefully we will catch some fish too!
