We enjoyed a good campout at Santa Margarita Lake with our friends Mary and Randy . The kayaking was wonderful.
A girls day out with Kathy and Michelle and Eden and Lily
began with a trip through the car wash. We all had fun
screaming as the "octopus arms" attacked us.
Lily had fun dressing me up.
A boba treat.
Then after dinner, a dusky exploration
of the beaver ponds
We had fun making beaver noises,
finding their tracks, sitting and watching,
and looking at their scat.
We love our adventures together.
Cameron sent Mike a new pellet grill.
And we were gifted 2 wonderful single kayaks.
Chris, Lucy and I walked the town
looking at the scarecrows.
Mike and I saw the Beatle group the Fab Four
at the Clark center. They were Fabulous.
We have know their leader Jeff (Paul) since our days

A day trip to the Lake to try out those new kayaks.
They are wonderful, even in the wind.
Ospreys diving , bald eagles fishing,

A rainy Monday gives Kathy, Michelle and the girls

In Ohio, Cameron makes a tasty
