Sixteen married years in Findley Lake

Absolutely gorgeous day in Findley Lake NY today! While the ice is still covering the lake, the sky was a beautiful blue with cotton ball clouds and the SUN was shining. A banner day to celebrate our 16th wedding anniversary. Nothing beats starting the day here with breakfast down by the lake. Fortunately the Blue Heron Inn was open for business. After a congenial breakfast, (and a surprise anniversary gift of a large red onion), we took our normal "ride around the lake". I don't think I'll ever tire of riding around the lake. Early in our marriage, my husband couldn't believe that I would ask for a ride around the lake after dark. Today, we admired the various remodelling/construction projects as we rode. Keeping tabs on what the other residents are doing is a time honored activity in a small town and we've learned how to do this. We checked out the new skating rink on Shadyside. Wonder if they will rent skates? Three new houses being built on Sunnyside, plus a number of major remodels. Nice to see the neighbors improving their property. All in all, had a lovely anniversary. As for the red onion, I think it's a commentary on our marriage, colorful, spicy and sharp, many layered, and an acquired taste. And yes, I do love onions!
