And A Good Time Was Had By All

Saturday morning the sunrise was very pretty, mostly blues, orange and pink. I thought the view was extra special.

                  The silhouettes of the dark trees, reflected on the water was spectacular. I think someone said it was 34 degrees outside.
I soon went inside and found breakfast well underway. A good cup of coffee tasted so good!
Bacon, eggs, home made bread toasted, Rachel's tasty Blueberry and Cranberry cones, shoo-fly pie, fresh grapes and coffee.
It was a very busy kitchen!
Sharon, Mom, and Rachel, enjoying the unusually warm November afternoon.
It was a VERY big 'fish tale'!
Sisters, good friends, Rachel and Ruth.
Granny and grand daughter, Sarah Beth.
The day was made for long walks down country lanes.
Later it was time to mess up the kitchen again, for supper. Sarah is preparing to bake chicken for supper. With mashed potatoes, gravy and frozen corn from Lois and Kenny's garden. Also had persimmon pudding for dessert. It was the first time I have ever eaten any that I liked! It was so good I had three pieces!
The cabin, taken from the boat, while out on the lake.

Dad catching up on his reading, while enjoying the heat from the little stove.
Granny enjoying a magazine while guarding the persimmon pudding!
Yummo, s'mores! Sticky, sweet, gooey but sooo good!
Timmy and the catfish that he caught while we were eating those s'mores!

Sitting around the campfire, talking and enjoying the evening. OH, and the s'mores! I think everyone had a good time, and I know I enjoyed having everyone to reconnect with. Would love to do it again.

Looks like a wonderful way to spend a weekend. Enjoyed all the pictures! Good food and great company, makes for a fun time. :) The cabin looks so inviting with the lights turned on, in the picture taken from the dock.
Really enjoyed getting to talk to you also. Who made the persimmon pudding? There are some trees where Rick and I go fishing. :) I have a very bad memory of eating a green one many, many years ago! LOL

Jeanie, Sarah made the persimmon pudding. It was quite sweet, but was so good. If you pick your persimmon now, after they have had a frost on them, they are very sweet. Don't be afraid to try them again! Just don't eat any more green ones! Yuck!
