Catching up

Sorry that it's been a while since I've posted....all 2 of you who read this blog.  Anyway, we did a lot of traveling this summer over the weekends.  I'll start with our trip to Lake Keuka in Upstate New York, where my aunt and uncle have a great little lake house.

Tenley was a little scared by Indie and Louie, the other two canine inhabitants that weekend.  But she did manage to show off her swimming skills nonetheless.  We had beautiful weather the first day, so we spent most of our time outside by the lake.  Bill and I took the rowboat out with Tenley, who loved being in a boat for the first time.  She also got some quality boat-time with Uncle Fred.


The second day was kind of rainy, which of course meant WINERIES.  We went to Dr. Frank's, whose namesake is famous in the fingerlakes for having proven that European varietals can survive in that region.  We were fans of the merlot and, of course, the Riesling.

Luckily, when we got back it had cleared up a bit, so we decided to go kayaking.  Bill and I kayaked all the way across Lake Keuka and back.  Just as we were heading back into the dock, Tenley got excited and swam out to greet us......jumped on Bill's kayaked and flipped him over.  Oh man, it was awesome.  I wish I had a picture of it!  

Although it was a lot of driving to get there (5.5 hours each way), it was totally worth it.  


Oh, and here's one last picture -- it's of our weekend's benefactors....Auntie M, Uncle Fred, Indie, and Louie.  Thanks, guys!
