Last night was my first night in the new house. I'm not really moved in yet. My computer is still at the old house so that is where I am now and will be all day doing work. The computer will probably move over Wednesday.

Yesterday's party, for Father's Day and for the family to see Jenny, Robby, and Robyn before they leave, was magic. It was a warm sunny day and the deck of the new house, overlooking the lake, was the perfect place to hang and enjoy each other (pictures coming soon).

The lake isn't very big. The picture of the house, by Zoe, is taken from the other side of the lake.

It was the first time out rowing on the lake in Zoe's aluminum skiff. Zoe and I rowed around the lake taking turns rowing. It's so different being on the water. After everyone had left, and I had taken Jenny and Robyn back to the old house, I cleaned up and, as the sun was going down, I went back onto the lake. Around the lake I rowed as the darkness gathered. On this little puddle of water, I rowed just hearing the sound of the oars in the water, the clank of the oarlocks, and the sound of the water being parted by the bow of the boat.

I could get used to this.
