Lake Life! Aka Scenes From A Midwestern Weekend

The two floozies, reunited!

There’s nothing more certain than death and taxes… well, except for the annual jaunt to the in-laws’ absolutely perfect lakeside casa at Magician Lake in Michigan. There are so, so many reasons why I love this trip.  It’s the most serene environment, with a quiet stillness only interrupted by my father-in-law’s James Taylor Pandora station streaming through the house.

Two hammocks beg you to lie in them with a good book.  There’s a steady diet of sweet corn and BBQ.  And the best thing about it?  Our Midwest-residing family and friends are only a drive away to share in the tranquility…:

And ohhhkayyyy, maybe sometimes a little debauchery…

Luckily, my hubby got to spend Father’s Day with his dad.

And I’ll just let the rest of the pictures tell the story…

"Cause we're the two best co-bloggers that anybody had"

Sigh… Until next year, Lake Magician.

The Perfect Summer Song

Ahhh, the weekend’s in full swing, people!  It’s a gorgeous 80 degree day down by the beach, my hubby and I are about to take a bike ride to visit our friends and their new babushka at the hospital, and then pick up the most delicious ice cream from an adorable old timey place in Santa Monica.  Life is good.  I hope you’re all having a wonderful weekend.  Let the below song take you through the rest of it.  I love it!  A great cover on an already great song.

xoxo,
