Boat Outing

On Saturday, we enjoyed a lovely outing on the lake.  Friends Wayne and Susan called, hoping to schedule our annual get-together, and it just so happened, that Saturday was the only open date we had, so it worked out.

The weather was a little iffy.  Susie tried to call while we were on the way.  She had both the home phone number, which she tried first (we were half way there).  Then she tried the cell phone number, which she also had, but not the correct area code.  She wanted to say the weather did not look too promising.  Meanwhile, we arrive at the boat.  At first we just traveled up the channel for a while, fearing thunder and lightning.  Then, thankfully, the sun came out and we went out onto lovely Owasco lake.  Wayne and Susie have a new boat this year.  It is much fancier, with soft leather seats.

This annual outing is just about the only time all year when Gerry and I actually get into the water (other than shower, bath, or rain.).  We did, however, swim during our July trip.

It was such a lovely time with old friends.  We were surprised to learn that their daughter just had a baby the day before.  Susie was leaving the next day to go and be with daughter and grand-daughter, so it was their last outing for the year as well.

While going out on the lake in a boat is always a treat,  mostly we enjoy Susie and Wayne's company.  They are both always upbeat and cheerful, warm and hospitable.

We will hope for another boating outing next year!
