When Covid first hit, I thought about going to the lake for 2-4 weeks with Paul. But taking him out of daycare feels like a waste of money (we would have to keep paying) and the return to daycare after a break is tough on him. And then throw in other family members coming to the lake who have different opinions about Covid and the fact Phil couldn’t come with since he has to go into the office 2-4 days/week (it’s very safe for him though as < 10 people are there and he has a private office). And it just didn’t make sense for us. But I dream of a time when I can go up there with our kids when Covid is behind us and my mom is fully retired. One upside to Covid is that it has shown companies that their employees don’t HAVE to be in the office. My company was VERY AGAINST people working from home but have done an about face on that matter. So some day I can take the boys up there for a couple of weeks for ‘grandma/pa camp’ and I can lock myself up in the office and let my mom handle the boys which would thrill her as she is gah gah for her grandkids!! So maybe I could do that by, oh 2022 or 2023 when Covid is behind us (I’m skeptical about a vaccine being widely available in 2021).

You and Rick are a darling couple and so are the cutes stopping in with the kiddos. To bad they were sleeping but sometimes that's a good thing :) I love how you enjoy being outside and enjoying nature while at the lake. I can tell you've been inspired, love the art you are creating. I'm looking forward to fall and cooler temps so we can stay outside. So hot and humid not possible here. I always enjoy seeing your happy photos and that certainly includes Miss Lizzie. Love you opted to accept the chair, lovely for her. Great pics with the shadows in the chai, and that look, I know that look, she's thinking of being naughty!

Looks like summer is still good where you are. You really have a darling family and I'm glad you got to spend time with them, even though some slept right through it! Looks like Lizzie, too, is getting her fair share of rest. You and Rick look so cute even with Covid hair. At least you still have some color left. I look like my great-grandmother.
