Back from the cottage! We took our friend Ray with us and had a wonderful time. Because of a busy weekend schedule and house stuff, this was our first visit up north since ice-out. It was somewhat muggy, but jumping in the lake always cooled us off. I love my morning swims up there...it's a wonderful way to start off the day. Things have gotten way busier workwise these days, so I took some work with me: finished edits on my novel and completed five illustrations for a client. Sadly, the external modem that comes with my MacBook doesn't seem to work very well with the cottage phone line but happily, I didn't need to be online. Jeff says that when I do, I can always use his Airport connection via his laptop. Also did a lot of reading, drawing for fun, snoozing, and wrote a short instrumental while playing around with Garageband 3 for the first time. Here are some photos from the weekend... Ray stayed in a tent during the visit:  Jeff went sailing:  Playing a board game in the boathouse:  And some photos from the cottage archives... Wam and Jimmy Stringer:  Their brother, Omer Stringer, was famous for his paddling skills. Dan Gibson and my father-in-law, many years ago:  As I wrote in my Blatherings back in March, Dan Gibson will be missed by many. I also played around with Corel Painter some more. Here's one I call "Creepy Mad Guy":  I liked Scott Snyder's comment in Flickr: "Oh, I dunno - looks like me before I've had my coffee in the morning." :-D | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
