The Davis Family Updates

Ken's parents arrived this morning. We drove 35 miles north to Cranberry Lake. There, we rented a pontoon boat and set out across the lake. The sun was shining, the sky was so blue and cloudless! It was a bit nippy as we motored across. We got out toward the center and dropped anchor to have our picnic lunch...on the boat. There are little islands in the lake that have rocks and trees. One is big enough that someone owns it and has a home on it. It's accessible only by boat. What a neat place to get away from it all!

We motored around for a couple more hours and stopped to just listen to the quiet. Not even birds were making sounds. For a bit, no other boats were nearby. Only kayacks off by the shore line.

We dropped some bread crumbs into the lake to see if fish would come get them. The fish didn't come. But the balls of beads that were compressed enough would sink as we through them in. The water is clear enough to see the bread sink for quite some time! What a neat experience!

For dinner we went the Rose Garden restaurant in Harrisville. It was good to experience the other eat-in restaurant. This one is NOT own by the mayor's wife and the mayor was NOT our waiter.

We returned home to have a bon fire and a dessert of smores. It's gotten cooler already. We woke this morning to the first frost. It wasn't a hard freeze but it won't be long!

I wonder why people keep asking us if we like snow?
