Okay, let's pretend it's 78 degrees with a light breeze. We are sailing across Lake Michigan and the water is fairly calm.
We've been sailing for several hours. Can you see the lighthouse from our boat? It's probably time to head back.
Now let's go have some fish & chips! How does that sound?
P.S. Whose boat was that anyways?!
Isn't escaping and dreaming fun to do? That platter of food looked so good to me...especially at this time of the evening when it is soon time for dinner. Do you go boating in the summer? My brother-in-law has a boat and on rare occasions we go with him. It happens to be something we love to do!
ReplyDeleteYour photos certainly do help me forget about the really cold and snowy winter we're having here in New Hampshire! Your blog is a great resource.

that was fun, I have wanted to do that all my life! thanks!! seriously though, could be have some fish and chips right now? I mean for real, not in the pretend world.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos and the fish and chips....They look so delicious. I hope spring arrives soon.
ReplyDeleteThanks for taking us along on the cruise. Those fish and chips look as if they will really hit the spot!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great escape! I loved the boat ride. This brings back such great memories of summer in Michigan.

What a fun post,... I've been sailing a few times when vacationing on Cape Cod and in Maine. It is a wonderful experience. Thanks for the bit of summer and refreshing the memories!
ReplyDeleteWow Shelley, I loved that day on Lake Michigan. I'm sure those people didn't miss their boat, ya think????? ha ha..
ReplyDeleteYou know me.. I'm the one who wanted to see that lighthouse.. I like lighthouses ALMOST as much as I do waterfalls (well, not really, but I do like them!!)... ha
The fish and chips dinner was delicious also. AND to think, I ate alot and didn't gain a pound!!! How 'bout that?
Now--I hate to tell you this, but now you are STUCK in that log cabin. How can that be????? I feel SO sorry for you. NOT!!!! ha
Thanks for the journey.
Hugs,
Betsy
Judy - We don't have a boat but hope to get a small one this year! :-)
ReplyDeleteFratzels - Thank you for coming by! I'm sure it's snowy where you're at too! :)
Michele - I have been CRAVING fish & chips for some reason. Let's go!
Charli - I think this is the 1st time that I am literally counting down the minutes till spring!
George - they were excellent! Next is dessert!
Penny - I'm glad to bring you summer memories!!
cedar - have always wanted to visit the east coast....one day!!
Betsy - you're right - I don't deserve any sympathy for the log cabin part! ha,ha! But I am longing for some sun.....
That sure beats a trip to Long John Silvers!
ReplyDeleteJust a few more months! We saw a lighthouse so similar to that one when we vacationed in Mackinaw City years ago. I wonder if it was the same one.
ReplyDeleteWho cares? It was fun! Thanks for the trip! That was beautiful!
ReplyDeleteTammy
Aww, that was so fun..
ReplyDeleteyou're so cute.
Thanks for the ride! Loved the fish and chips.
ReplyDeleteSailing on clear waters. How relaxing that is. The fish looked tastey too! Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteWe boat in the summer here on the Mononghela river and there is nothing better then stopping along the way and finding something to eat:)

Today Dave & I went down to the Dallas Convention Center for the Log Home Expo. We were SOOOOO disappointed!!!! They canceled but we didn't know about it. As recent as last night when I was on the website checking for times, it still showed it for this weekend. We were VERY unhappy! At least for us, it was only a 35 minute drive. We ran into another couple just like us, only they had driven up from Houston, 5 hours away! GRR!! Apparently it's been rescheduled for Sept. I'm so miffed though, I might boycott it!

Oh yeah, how is YOUR weekend? Ha Ha

ReplyDeletei'm afraid of boats so i skipped the ride and drove that fish fry! OMG does that look good...i want THAT!
ReplyDeleteShelley, I have a dedication for you on my blog.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the boat trip. Very pretty. And so warm (o:
ReplyDeleteAhhhhh..... I want summer. I miss the cold water cooling me down and the sun beating down on my face and all that great stuff about Spring and Summer.
ReplyDeleteLove, Joy =D
Is that lighthouse at White Fish Point? If it is, we've been there. Great place!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the escape....
I would go boating with you in 78* weather right now!!!! And I would definitely stop and have fish and chips too. Haven't had any for so long (can't find anywhere in my town that serves it).
ReplyDeleteOh oh oh, fish and chips!! I loooove fish and chips (having had English/Irish parents didn't help!) And these look delicious. Bring on summer!
ReplyDeleteNow I'm hungry,love fish and chips!!
