Summertime...and the Livin' is Easy...


Hope you are all doing well!  Thank you for all the wonderful comments on my last post about the porch table!  We have already shared some fun meals there this last week!  I've been away from the blogs for a nice long holiday weekend, visiting with lots of friends and family at our family lakehome over the fourth.   There was SO much fun and great memories made...grilling, boating, visiting, relaxing...





beautiful sunsets and fires...





 and fireworks, too!




Hope you had a wonderful holiday, too!

Until next time...
Linda

    So glad to hear that you had a nice and relaxing long holiday weekend, Linda! The sunset shots are amazing! I miss our lake back home in Michigan, but now we live on a really big "lake", the Puget Sound, haha!

    Linda, y'all have such a pretty place on the water. I love watching fireworks over the water. It makes them even more magical.

    Looks like you've been having a wonderful time! We had a lovely holiday as well. We had fireworks at church and a big cook out at home with some friends. :) I LOVE summer! We went to a friends house swimming yesterday and it was so relaxing. I swear I could just live in summer all year round. (but I'd probably miss seeing snow after about...oh 5 or 10 years! lol)
    have a great day my sweet friend!

    How fun to be seeing your lake house again! I am so in love with lake living. It reminds me of our beloved Bass Lake. Where we will be in one month!!!! I have missed your posts!!

    Your photos are lovely. Looks like a wonderful time was had by all. So glad your table was finished in time for the family events. As for our 4th here in the desert, the temperature was 118 on Saturday. We did have family over on Sunday but stayed inside with air conditioning turned down low.

    Sigh! You look like you are having a wonderful time, Linda. We went to South Dakota for a family reunion for the fourth and had a very good time.

    I sure wish I had a lake house...some days. We have several friends who lend us their's. Maybe that's a better deal!!!

    Hugs,
    Suz

    Linda,
    Your place is so idyllic. What a perfect way to spend the 4th. The table you scored for (choke) 30 is amazing & I love how you styled it with the bucket of summer texture. Wow, I'll be borrowing that idea, LOL.
    Linda, I don't know how you run a business with such a cool home, I'd just spend all day staring at it all.

    That looks just perfect. We haven't been to the lake yet, Duane is so busy with his MBA class that it is nearly impossible for him to get away. I am hoping we can soon though. YOur photos really show just how relaxing going to the lake is! I love, love, love your new table and the summer room you have created, what a great place to gather together! t. xoxoxoxoxo
