our apple tree & grapes

We were so excited that our apple tree produced apples for the second time. Last year we got a few apples, this year they were bigger and are really tasty. The grapes are Rich's project. They look so pretty hanging on the vine...I made some juice, and will give some away. They are a concord grape, so are basically for jelly or juice.

Steve's house as of Friday!

As you can see the house is coming along. It is finally getting shingled, and is looking really nice. Inside the walls are all up and soon they will begin the siding. Move-in date is set for Dec. so we are hoping it will be done!

Steve's House

Beginning stages of the house. Walls are built and trucked up from Wisconsin and a huge crane sets them into place. The same process goes for the rafters.

Every day we have a little piece of heaven on earth as we see the everchanging reflections on the lake. From eagles soaring, to memories of little boys fishing on an old pontoon or a little girl's first success at water skiing or the outrageous laughter as our firstborn enjoys a boatride. Here and now as we grow old together we will see if only in our mind's eye these things we treasure and those we look forward to in as many tomorrows as we may have left on this earth.
