James and I spent our weekend at The Quiet Place down in the Finger Lakes. Our kids had given us a weekend getaway for our 25th anniversary back and June and this was it. A wonderful weekend away.We arrived on Friday afternoon and opened the door to a wonderful couple of days away. We had time to talk together, pray together, and just plain be together. No phone calls (well, almost none), no computer, nothing calling our attention away. We went out for a ride on Saturday morning and visited The Wizard of Clay pottery studio (really cool), took a drive down to Naples,and then went back up to Canandaigua for lunch at Mac's Philly Steaks.
Back at the cabin, I was reading on one end of the couch and James was dozing on the other when we heard a rather loud- BOOM! James opened his eyes and said "What was that?" I had no clue so we got up and had a look around. A few moments later the cabin phone rang. Seems that the neighbor's grandson had a birthday and they were celebrating with cannon fire. Eric was all apologies but we just laughed it off. Not every guest at the Quiet Place gets a phone call and most who hear the cannon are warned because it is a holiday weekend. It made the stay all the more memorable... well, that and the jacuzzi!
Sorry about the phone calls.
ReplyDeleteIt all sounds wonderful! Haven't gone to the Wizard of Clay in ages. The cabin looks nice. I'm about to check out the link!
ReplyDeleteNo problem, Jim. We were out toward Sodus when you called.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you guys had a nice time. I think every husband and wife needs that once in a while.
ReplyDeleteI think Priscilla took me to the "Wizard of Clay" once.
