Geneva on the Lake 2012
At last, my first full week at Geneva-on-the-Lake had come to an end. It didn't go too quickly, and it absolutely didn't crawl by. It was just the right mix of much-needed relaxation and activity. Good drinks were had, good food was eaten, good company was enjoyed. Next year I will have a one-year old to keep a sharp eye on, and Steve plans on ( Read more... ) -
Geneva on the Lake 2012
Our last day at the lake was to be pleasantly warm and sunny, so we all decided to make as much of it as possible by spending as much time as possible on the beach and in the water. But before that, breakfast was in order. Steve's Uncle Keith is not a lake person, and doesn't come up but maybe one or two days out of the week, and when he does come ( Read more... ) -
Geneva on the Lake 2012
Friday dawned chilly and windy. We all decided to have breakfast at the Sunrise Cafe, a neat place with good food, though you have to endure a few insults to get it. Their motto is "eat-pay-leave"! The ribbing is all in good fun, though, and the proprietors and waitresses are good people who really do care. I had a simple breakfast of eggs, bacon ( Read more... ) -
Geneva on the Lake 2012
We finally got our rainy day on Thursday. It rained off and on, a steady drizzle pretty much all day. We didn't mind, because it provided a day of laziness and recovery from the heat and business of the week so far. Everyone decided they were going to visit a local winery, but I stayed behind to keep an eye on the sleeping boy. Also, I'm not a huge ( Read more... ) -
Geneva on the Lake 2012
The few days I'd been up at the lake had been great. I REALLY loved being able to come up for the entire week instead of just a couple days and Saturday. But I'd been looking forward to Wednesday, because it's the day Steve would join me! He planned on working a half day, then driving up to be at Geneva-on-the-Lake by late afternoon. I was excited ( Read more... ) -
Geneva on the Lake 2012
Tuesday promised to be a scorcher, the hottest day of the week. Without air conditioning at any of the cottages, the heat advisory was something that needed to be endured, or escaped. We decided to escape the weather by traveling to the nearby movie theater at the mall in Ashtabula. The others had a lunch of pretzel dogs, but I was saving my ( Read more... ) -
Geneva on the Lake 2012
Monday dawned another bright and sunny day. Being early risers and/or with kids, we were all up with the sun and ready for the day. I had some delicious Cracklin' Oat Bran for breakfast and hung out over at Beth's house for a bit. After awhile we gathered up our beach things in the van, changed into our bathing suits, and everyone else headed down ( Read more... ) -
Geneva on the Lake 2012
Check in this year I guess was a little later than in years previous, so we weren't slated to leave until early afternoon. After excitedly waiting and packing all week, it was even more of a bummer to keep waiting all day just to leave. Beth & Marty came by in the morning to pack our things into their van, and then we still had a few more hours to ( Read more... ) -
Final Fantasy & Pink Floyd: A Weekend of Concerts
I see it's been close on 2 and a half years since I've checked out my LJ. It seems most of my business has moved onto Facebook. Maybe I will be back here from time to time, when I actually want to blog about something rather than pare the experience down to a one-liner I post for the world to see. I sure do hate the idea of losing all the words I' ( Read more... ) -
