Time's a-fleetin'

Apologies for my delinquency in posting. I wish I had something profound to say, but I just don't! I will just briefly catch you up on our vacation activities and trust that I will find something meaningful that needs to be said when it's time! I have been working on the Easy World book, so I guess all the insights are going there...

This time is speeding by. I can hardly believe we'll be heading back to Colorado on Tuesday morning. I just love being here and wish we could stay another month. Other than the first few days when it rained and rained and rained, it's been gorgeous. Sunny and 70s--perfect. But Rick is booked for a retreat in North Carolina that starts a week from today (Friday), and is scheduled to fly out of Denver, so we need to get on back. And, of course, by this time next month, it could be snowing here!

I can hardly even tell you what we've been doing. It's been a blur of hanging out, resting, writing, reading, cooking, cleaning, dining in, dining out, dog-walking, visiting, and so on. My sister, Ann, who is an amazing watercolor artist and excellent photographer, took some photos of me the other evening on the beach--no, not in a swimsuit--ACK! I need a new professional photo, as I've mentioned quite often on this blog over the last couple of years, and we managed to get one that I'm really happy with. You'll be seeing it soon...

It's been nice to spend time with Ann. She and I had a girls' day yesterday (Thursday) and went to lunch in Pentwater, a little resort town very closeby, and did some shopping . That was great. Truthfully, I have not wanted to do all that much socially. In fact as little as I've done, I might even wish to have done even less! For me, heaven is just hanging around the cottage, watching the lake! I love having time with Rick and it seems that we haven't quite had enough.

As I sign off, I'll leave you with one of the gazillion sunset photos we've taken. (Ya gotta love a digital camera!) This is from last night, looking out the front porch window:
