My "little" brother (I initially typed "bother" HAHA) and his wife, Sille, lived in Copenhagen up until Thursday when they boarded a plane for their big move to America. With green card and visa arrangements, it has obviously been in the making for awhile, but to have them on this side of the pond is super exciting. They're not sure where they will end up but this weekend they belonged to New Hampshire!
I grabbed them from Logan Thursday night and we crashed in Portsmouth before driving up to the lake Friday morning. Simon and my mom joined us later in the day along with bright sunshine and delightful temps in the 80s for the entire weekend. It was the perfect combination of projects around the house and jet lag recovery. We refurbished the floating raft and secured it to its anchor (then gave it a thorough workout with "Raft Ball"), painted part of the house's exterior, weeded a bunch of the little gardens around the property, cleaned out old insulation from the dirty, dank and gross pump room, and played many games of Qwixx. Enormous thanks to all three of our guests who were forced to work hard for their stay! And extra thanks to Sille for doing away with the biggest, hairiest, most disgusting lake spider we have ever seen. I did not photograph that.
