We spent all of Labor Day weekend with our good friends, John and Linda, at their place near Lake Geneva. We had a perfect weekend with very warm temperatures which encouraged us to jump in the lake to cool off and to keep the boat moving when we weren't in the lake to enjoy some cooling breeze. It was a very busy weekend on the lake as it appeared many other folks had the same ideas. On Saturday we were joined by their daughter and fiance, Katie and Michael, who fortunately were willing to sit in the sunny seats near the front of the boat while the older folks (that's me now) took advantage of the shade at the back.
Sunday morning Jo, John, and I took out the jet skis for a tour around the entire lake. Since there were only two jet skis I toured the lake clinging madly to Jo as she tried hard to throw me off the back end. The woman does have a need for speed sometimes although I'm happy to report I managed to hang on for the entire tour around. Afterward we all got in a little exercise, mostly to make up for the two fruit pies from Elegant Farmer that happened to show up for dessert, hiking for Jo's favorite breakfast of pancakes at Daddy Maxwell's. Then it was out on the boat for a dip in the lake to cool off from our exertions.
Sunday evening we ordered a take-out pizza and ate it on the lake while watching the sun slowly slip behind the trees on the horizon. It was a beautiful evening as the temperatures had moderated a bit with a nice breeze blowing - what could be better, good food, good scenery, and great friends to enjoy it with. Monday dawned cloudy and stormy looking so we helped get their boat and jet skis stored for the winter and then headed home to some chores and catching up on three days of newspapers before getting a good nights rest from our busy weekend.
