July 13-16 Hattie’s Visit
“To my grandchild, you are my reminder that the simple things in life bring the most joy.” –Unknown
Hattie’s visit to the boat was all about being on or in the water. She requested we pick her up and go straight to the boat. No wasting time in Lewisburg…at least not at the start of her time with us. It was the perfect weather to spend hours on the water. In fact it was the only way to stay cool. It was very hot and humid and the lake water felt amazing.

July 8-11 New Hope, PA
“Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it’s time to pause and reflect.” -Mark Twain
It’s hard to believe but we’re celebrating our 45th anniversary. We enjoy little getaways to mark each year. They aren’t extravagant or showy trips but small getaways were we can relax and enjoy what brings us happiness. This year we decided to explore a cute small town east of us here in Pennsylvania. New Hope is a picturesque riverfront borough in Bucks County, roughly 30 miles north of Philadelphia and 70 miles south of New York City. It’s packed with artsy boutiques, historic inns and has an active theater scene. The streets are lined with shops and antique stores. The food scene shines with cozy cafés and riverside restaurants.
