Living the Life at Lake Medora

The Enduring View.

Its not been much of a blogging summer.  Not sure why.  There have been lots of nice events and all the usual summer pleasure.  But they didn't seem to offer the kind of story I like to tell on a blog.

We did have a kind of short summer.  We didn't arrive til mid-June, partly because we lost our deck last winter from record amounts of snow and ice, and we can't get into the house without going onto the deck.  And we're leaving early for a wedding in Louisville of a much loved young woman we've known all her life.

Still there were pleasures.  We still have our beautiful view and a beautiful new deck from which to view it (a deck luckily paid for mostly by insurance).

 We had much loved friends who visited us from SC and who relaxed, each in her or his own way, on said deck.

We read Moby Dick together and celebrated Melville's 200th birthday at the Fitz with a superb bottle of Ridge Zinfandel.

We enjoyed nice meals at home.  Our favorites are grilled salmon (Yay Tony!) and Co-Op handmade pizzas.
 

We ate hotdogs at the Copper Harbor Arts Fair.  (Note the importance of eating this summer.)

I swam (not across the lake--too cold for that--but a ways).

And we enjoyed the best martinis in the Keweenaw at the Harbor Haus.

We admired sunsets and the beginning of color.

These are the "episodes" of my summer.  If anyone can help me "configure" them into a cohesive whole I will thank them for helping me tell the story of my summer.

Tomorrow we leave for home, and we have a great adventure ahead.  That will be my first post in Louisville.
