We went swimming the first day, and it was so refreshing and wonderful. After that it was a little too chilly for a swim. But reading on the deck under a quilt was fabulous. It is such a relaxing place! We all read books, relaxed, played Scrabble, took naps.. a perfect vacation.
It was really nice having Son and DIL along. They are such nice people! Son baked home-made bread twice! Yum! And the last day was Hubby's birthday so we had blueberry muffins in his honor.
I finished my "V" book - The Vagrants by Yiyun Li. There are a lot of unhappy characters in this book, and a lot of unhappy events occur. Despite that, it was a good read and very interesting story. It takes place in China in 1979 amidst political unrest and political crackdowns. I am reminded how valuable that First Amendment is that we enjoy: freedom of speech.

Wow! you are really making your way through the ABCs! I love the photo of you reading outside. What a perfect setting! Goodnightgram
That's a very relaxing type of vacation, Carol! Glad it worked out so well and a good, peaceful and easy time was had by all. Your book list is growing ever shorter.
I miss going to the lake in MN. It just isn't the same trip here. You look very relaxed and happy in the photo. Retirement is good for you.
Hey, I recently did my own version of that - especially the book and quilt and a cool early evening. My, my, those times come too far and few between, don't they? How pleasant it looks, and how relaxed you are. 8-))
