This is the Best Day Ever………………!

That’s one of Scott’s bylines, and no matter how many days he says it, it’s true!  What a beautiful summer we’re having.  The water temperature in crystal clear Sebago Lake is perfect for jumping in after Lisa’s pilates class this morning, and the skiers and wakeboarders are improving their skills by the minute.  And what’s that mystery paddlewheeler out there?  Last night’s cocktail party saw renewal of old friendships and the beginnings of new ones.  So great to see Jackie and Judy again!  And lining up a family of eighteen for a family picture; all the wiggling is part of the fun.  Sadie was feeling left out last night so got into the middle of the action.

And this amazing parade of kids!  Climbing and hunting and face-painting–the hardest decision sometimes is whether to go in for that late day swim and have that facial art rinse away.  The teenagers, too, have been hard at it with capture the flag, their own tie-dying creations, and challenging scavenger hunts (“Where’s Wayne?  Where’s Wayne?”).

Stopping by the front desk for a chat with Deets and a preliminary study of tonight’s dinner menu is another daily stop for many, as is taking a little light reading out to the terrace.  Hear that hammer?  Ian is converting Ye Old Phone Booths to storage for our growing apparel collection.  Have you done your Migis shopping yet?  The kids are off shopping, via Tykona cruise, for candy.  Parents are relaxing with a massage in the new wellness center.  This, indeed, is the Best Day Ever!

Time to go.  I’d like a refreshing dip today myself…………………

A place to sit and think things over.

After the long drive in the car, random thoughts.  Did I remember all my stuff? Is my sister going to get there first?  Do I need to work on my homework while I’m here?  Can I get on Facebook in the lobby?  Will we still dare to go swimming?  Will my whole family be here tonight?  IMG_3357_2What will the adults be wearing for the fancy dinner?  Will the pine needles still be all rustly?  Will there be new sitters with the little kids?  Will I be able to find the Shoot the Moon ball?

Will my favorite place still creak creak when I get there?

Mary, channeling Neil.
