One of the only real concerns we have about our new lake lifestyle is the winter. We now have a 40m back pathway to the garage and a similar length entry from the garage to the street which we will no doubt enjoy shoveling during the snowy months (and any regular readers of the blog know that thats about 9 months in Wisconsin)...
But that's all at least....5 (???) months away. As my Mum Nellie would say, don't wish your life away. I'm not. Right now we're just enjoying the summer.
The hot tub on the deck...(not sure about the lit up cup holders?... :)
and the peonies in the garden (coming to an end after a glorious few weeks)...
We had our house warming a couple of weeks back - in the midst of the rainy weather that we suffered from in the Midwest for more than two weeks. We have only just now (3 weeks on) got a dry basement after the low lying water level seeped it's way through the basement walls (the joys of home ownership - thankfully not our problem!).
It was Flag Day - so the flags were flying..
Of course it rained the day of the housewarming, which it inevitably does when Robbie's planning a deep fried turkey...but the show must go on!

My find of the summer's flea markets so far - my $5 wooden ironing board repurposed as a bar!

Leftover S'more Brownies - graham cracker base, brownie and toasted mini marshmallows - usually a very traditional summer cook out staple - it's just usually a toasted marshmallow sandwiched between 2 graham crackers cookies with a slab of chocolate in the middle (see here for more details!)

It seems that the cup holders are not the only things that are lit up??
