Weekend getaways

Most of you know by now that Roger's parents have a nice little cabin that they've built on Lake Cumberland. It's very remote (and because it is, there're some good stories there that I may post at a later date). Well, we went there this past weekend. No phone, no internet (so no work for me--altho no blogging ;)), no laundry. Boy, is it relaxing. Although, Roger usually relaxes by working outside clearing brush, or helping build the barn. The dog relaxes by running as fast as possible, descending and ascending the rough terrain to the lake in incredibly fast jaunts, and ultimately finding some nasty remnant of a dead animal. Ri and I relax doing puzzles, games, videogames, hiking, and cooking. During the summer, we can swim in the lake--and yes, the dog joins us.


If the canoe hadn't been stolen, we'd have done a bit more of that and visited our "pet" goat, Lila. Lila lives 2 coves over, apparently, and no one knows where she came from. But if you call her, she comes down the rocky, near cliff-like terrain to indulge in any non-healthy treat you offer her. Apparently, she gets enough veggies and fruit on her own. Here's a pic detailing an adventure with Lila. Yes, that's a cookie. Didn't get many pictures this weekend, but you get the idea. Hope you had a nice weekend, too. :)
