I’ve survived another reunion. We all had a good time and I did love having all the kids at home. We ended up with twenty-seven for the reunion. That amount we can do comfortably as long as we can use the carport and it was fine this year. We got more of the younger generation here this time so the pool got a lot of use. And Nick got a pool picture with his drone.
Monday morning Nick and I headed for my cousin’s lake house. This is the I used in my head for much of Cassie’s house on the river. It’s a beautiful peaceful place and I love going once a year. This was our room there, with such a beautiful view someone suggested they put a large mirror on the opposite wall so where ever you are standing you see the water.
We had a great lightening show on our last night at the lake and I was able to capture some great pictures!
I followed my usual vacation plan - talking, eating and napping with boating thrown in a bit. Heavenly. Unfortunately, reality is now sticking it’s nose back into my life. I over-did the eating and vastly under-did the exercising. I have six day to return to the weight I was last month on the thirteenth, as per Nick’s orders. And in fairness these orders were given long before the reunion so I really can’t say I wasn’t warned. It can be done, but can I do it?
I don’t have a car at the moment – it’s in the shop, doctors don’t like diabetics going on a crash (stop eating) diets so I may have to get creative. Cross your fingers for me and I’ll let you know.
hi Pk, wondered what you were up to. Sounds like a fun summer. At least without a car you have to walk everywhere which will help the weight stuff. Hugs

You can't walk anywhere from my house. No sidewalks for one thing and nothing but houses for miles.
DeleteHi PK, sounds like a fabulous reunion, glad you all had a great time. The pics are awesome, your cousin's lake house is absolutely beautiful.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the weight! You can definitely do it:)

I do love her house. Prettiest one I know. I'm already getting back in gear at the gym.
DeleteSounds like a good time was had by all, PK. Good luck with the weight loss!

It was really fun! Thanks for the good thoughts.
DeleteOh, I can think of another use for those giant beautiful mirrors... hehehe........ love the lightening pictures. Good luck getting back on track with the exercising and all that!! Welcome back! Hugs! Windy
ReplyDeleteUmm... about those mirrors, I think the fantasy of how we would look might just be better than really seeing what we look like! LOL!
DeleteSounds like you had a wonderful time. Pictures look great and the lake house is beautiful, what a view you had. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteLove,

That view is fantastic! It's really a lovely, peaceful place.
DeleteSo glad you had this time with the whole family and especially your kids. I know that is your happy place, PK. I would never want to leave that beautiful lake house. I can just see Cassie on the deck.
ReplyDeleteMuch love
Ella
Oh yes, the screen porch is definitely Cassie's!
Deletelovely house! wonderful pics of the lightning! gorgeous. Hope you get that weight down. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteThe lightening show was beautiful!
DeleteI could have sworn I commented on this post. Oh well.
ReplyDeleteI thought you were ignoring me.
DeleteLast night I was too tired to do anything but go to bed early and this morning I couldn't get wifi on my iPad. But perseverance pays off. I finally just now got here. What a beautiful post! Your pictures are gorgeous! So glad you had a great time with the family. Is the lake house only used for vacations? What a wonderful place to go for peace and quiet. I'm happy to have you back. You were missed. I hope that switch has dried out by now--just in case!
ReplyDeleteIt was a lovely storm. I did take the pictures, but I cheated a little. I took the video, Mollie pulled out the individual shots for me. This is their vacation house but they are there a lot.
DeletePK,
ReplyDeleteA little late here! What a lovely setting! I lvoe the lightning photos. Getting back on track is dicey. We are all doing that. I am rooting for you. So glad the reunion was wonderful.

It was really great. I think I'm doing all right getting back on track. I guess we'll see.
DeleteIt sounds like a very busy but fun time. How nice to have everybody home for this one. Good luck getting back on track, it can be done!
ReplyDeleteI sure hope you're right. I am going to try.
Deletebeautiful photos. well...let's just say we may not have gone on vacation this year but we did go out to eat a lot so we didn't have to cook in the heat and humidity...I am too afraid to step on the scale because I already know what it is going to say...time for me to start paying attention again...soon... Hugs
ReplyDeleteWait as long as you can!!!!
DeleteI love all those photos! What a great trip!
