From My Neck of the Woods No. 38

A look back at the week at my life in The Northwoods and what’s inspiring me.

I hope you had a wonderful week. In some ways it feels like Summer is wrapping up as one of my sons heads back to college on Tuesday and sports will be starting soon. But we keep reminding ourselves we have lots of sunny days left to enjoy time on the boat and sitting on the dock.

When do kids in your area go back to school? My middle schooler and high schooler don’t go back until the last week of August.

Highlights of the Week

• An evening with my girlfriends sitting on one of their gorgeous boathouses catching up.
• Having friends and their kids over for a fun Friday night boating, playing cornhole. One of the couples brought over pizza. We had pie I had picked up from our Friday and Saturday pop up at my shop when Sweet Pies of Mine comes. Everyone loved the S’mores and Northwoods Berry!
• My husband’s high school reunion. We lived in his hometown for many years and I became friends with so many of his classmates. It felt like a reunion for me too.
• Time at my oldest daughter’s house which is always wonderful!
