Well it seems the autumn deluge has started. It's pouring rain this morning and to top it off we're headed to a funeral. But, what a wonderful sunny weekend we had in Hope. It was the four of us plus my nephew Noah who was staying with us for a few days. It was also Pentti's 50th birthday. He didn't want to celebrate at all, but he did want to spend it in Hope. He went golfing with the boys three times, so that was a gift. Otherwise, we just hung out and relaxed.
I can't believe that we have had the house in Hope for 20 years! Twenty years of weekend trips and so many memories. When the kids were small, it was the easiest place to get away. There were seasons of toys and a bouncy castle and playing in the yard. Now, our weekends there look very different with teens. Our noisy weeekends have turned very quiet. But we're together and doing our usual things and it's still the perfect escape.
