Personally, this crazy pandemic could not have come at a more critical time in my life. I say that now because I don’t know what’s ahead but, at this juncture, the pandemic was a God-send in my personal life.
I’ve shared this with close friends and of course, my amazing husband, who has lived for nearly 25 years, with a workaholic. I remember growing up with a father who was one and to be honest, the man hung the moon in my eyes and the workaholism actually put another feather … (49 comments)

Here we are with only 3 months left in 2020, scary isn't it. We imagine most of us are saying - thank goodness to that! And we're betting that you think so as well! What a spooky year it's been... on many levels.

I do a lot of business around the lake and one particular network of friends/clients is rather extensive - when one moves, they all tend to follow. I love hosting house-warming parties and this particular crew is so much fun! It seems we are celebrating someones birthday or someones new home a few times each year and honestly, some of the best times Ray and I have had together, have been with these crazy folks.
This end-of-summer bash brought a special group together once again - coincidentally, all but, two of the couples actually sold their lake homes and purchased new … (18 comments)
