Lake Sunapee 2012

It was Ros and Ted's 51st summer at Lake Sunapee these past two weeks. Spectacular flawless weather. We stayed in a classic red A-frame house across from the beach at Fisher's Bay. There was a view of the lake all the way down past Soonipi beach and Hastings. Ros had his puzzle going and took naps and sat out on the deck in the sun. Every other day, Ted would take Ros out for coffee, lunch or some special outing. Of course Volley, our black miniature poodle, kept Ros constant company which was the best. Max and Mia were working back in Topsfield area and came back and forth. Lucie was totally immersed in her gang of girlfriends sailing, swimming playing tennis and hopping into whalers any chance given.

Granddaughter Kim and husband, Donny Coleman stopped by for dinner after dropping their 2 daughters at Camp Coniston. Jenn and Ken Chipman, Ted and Ros went to the 4th of July Parade in Sunapee Harbor and saw the Smith Family: Alan, Nancy, Holly, Faye, Sherry and John.

On one of the beautiful Wednesday nights, our whole family plus Mia's friends Brian, Chelsea and Jose from Spain, went to the Yacht Club for family night dinner. It was a lovely time. Many people stopped by our table on the terrace to say hello to Ros. It was very sweet. Then Lucie, Ted and Kathy took Ros home in the boat. An extraordinary night. One other time, Kathy and Ros made a spontaneous visit to Jackie Little, one of Julie's best friends, and sat on her deck at Indian Cave overlooking the harbor. Joyce Coffin stopped by Jackie's for a quick hello as she was walking her dog.

We finished the week with a luxurious coffee time with the Cross family at Marzelli's Deli in the Harbor: Will Cross, Candy, Alison and Jennifer and Dick Smith (Candy's husband).  A most gorgeous two weeks. A refreshing, memorable time.
