Unplugged

I found myself 'unplugged' last weekend when I went to see longtime friends at Smith Mountain Lake, which is a large reservoir in the Roanoke Region of Virginia, by the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains. 

Our friends have been on a bit of a journey (re)building their home - So it was my chance to see and enjoy their beautiful home nestled on a cove of the lake. My visit that included delicious homemade meals using their garden and a sight seeing and fun boat ride, could not have been more restful and enjoyable with them, and their 3 dogs. And would you believe I only only took one photo from the guest room - How was that for being unplugged? 

But does it count that I took this photo on my way home to show Carl just how inexpensive gas was in that corner of Virginia?  (nearly .50 cents cheaper)

Speaking of Carl, he of course took great care of the crew while I was away. At least that's what Daisy (below) told me. 

But before I skipped town for the weekend, Todd was finally taken to the groomer and is sporting a much cooler look. 
Bleary eyed Max is too. He was really worn out afterwards. 

So, onward through August we go. We have one more weekend trip lined up before the end of summer, so I'm hoping the nice and sunny weather will continue.
I hope you are having nice and sunny weather too!
