Wow, has it been that long?

It's been way too long since I've posted. I have been reading other blogs but not commenting for the most part.  Not sure why that is, but I'll try to do better.

I haven't been stitching a lot, but with the change of season, I am anxious to get back to it!

I will share some pictures of our vacation in June.  And I'll have to see what else I have in my photos that you might be interested in.

We visited Deep Creek Lake in Maryland in late June.  It was supposed to be a family affair, however, our oldest son was unable to make because he had just purchased his first house.

There was fishing.  The Captain was a bit disappointed in this aspect of the vacation.  This was his smallest catch.

And some hiking.

To see this - really beautiful.  Wish I could remember the name of the state park.

The sign by the road to let us know we had arrived.

The house from the top of the driveway.

Baby Girl's favorite place to catch some rays.

The view from the deck.   It was a long walk down to the water.  And it seemed like an even longer walk back up to the house. My fitbit said I had climbed thirty flights on stairs on the first day we were there.  I did make several trips up and down.  We planned more carefully the following days and took everything we needed the first time!

A floating dock - a great place to sit in the sun and stitch. And be rocked by the waves from passing boats.

A place to stitch and read inside.

My favorite was the bowl of tea I had each morning on the deck in my jammies. 

A place to soak and talk on a cool night. 

I would go back again, to the same house.  The kids would have liked a little more active place - there wasn't alot for them to do in the evenings or on rainy days.    I read 3 books and started a fourth while we were there.  A perfect vacation for me. 

I'll be back soon.
