Happy August from Lola! Here’s a little weekend waterview. . . It’s been hot & muggy with pop up storms this week. I pulled together some blue waterviews and photos taken over the last couple of weeks from our boating excursions. We avoid the heat of the day, boating in the early morning hours or…
Happy Weekend, I hope you had a great 4th and are enjoying this holiday week! It’s been hot and steamy here!! We’ve been indoors in the comfort of the AC for most of this week, but did venture out some for an early morning boat ride and breakfast cruise on the 4th. Lola says kibble…
Happy Sunday! Here’s a little weekend waterview. . .our flags were flying for National Flag Week and in commemoration of Flag Day. When it rains, it pours!

Happy Sunday! We took our first pontoon ride yesterday. Normally we’re boating by late March or early April, but between the pollen and the rain this spring, we’re getting a late start. Lola was only a few months old when we last boated in October. She’s learning to get her sea (or lake ;) legs…

Happy Sunday! Here’s a little weekend water and dogs’ eye view from Lake Norman. Lola is getting her sea legs and looking forward to pontoon rides. She’s learned from Gracie that crushed ice is a pontoon ritual and treat. She’s 4 months old with a lot of fur that she says is hot in our…
