Very Busy!

Can't believe we have been here at Timber Ridge for 22 days - we have only had 2 down days where nothing has been planned.  So what have we been doing?  Back and forth to the house to try to make it more sellable, fixing burnt out lights, getting landscaping done, doing spot cleaning, changing out a faucet that was not working.  Anything and everything within our power to make it 'nice' for someone to move into.  And while there, we spent time with our dear friend Ducky, having a glass of wine and watching the sun set over Lake Erie.  She also hosted a nice little get together with some folks and we had a nice time catching up with Bob and Kathleen and Jane.

View of our place, landscaping done, looks much better

Lets in more light with bushes cut back

Will miss this wonderful view of Lake Erie

Looking west - sunset is coming

Docks, pool, beach - will miss it

We have also been visiting with family.  Picnic hosted by our niece Jennifer which had most of my side of the family, was great catching up with them.  We also attended a 90th birthday party for Dave's sister-in-law/Mom and also saw almost everyone on Dave's side of the family.  And then there were small gatherings of friends and family, either we driving to them or they coming by the RV to visit. Traveled to Mansfield to catch up with Dave's son, Dennis and his wife Meg.  And traveled back and forth to the east side of Cleveland as well as to Sandusky to the west to visit more family members.

I did a quick visit to a dentist - had cracked a filling about second week in May and was waiting to get  before I got it taken care of.  One day we spent driving around an area we had had our eye on years ago to possibly by a lakeside home - in Bayview.  So we traveled back there to see the home we put a bid on and said we had made the right decision to be in the present home.

A cute community we had looked at buying a home prior to our current one

Wanted a home on the water

Sandusky Bay - Cedar Point to right 

Black beaks and black legs - wonder what kind?

One home had these wild turkeys resting on front lawn

I love the water

One day we walked one of the favorite places, Sheldon Marsh, which is in the next town of Huron.  Lovely time there.  And of course, visiting some of the restaurants and places we liked to shop at and mentally checking off - okay, not the same, glad we visited but done.

Did not know this

Algae a'blooming!

Beyond the tree line was Lake Erie

This comerant could care less - did not fly away

Went through this hole to the private beach

Beach belongs to Sawmill Creek Resort

Almost to the lake

This Great Blue Heron looked really odd - never saw one sunning itself 

At the beach - looking across at Cedar Point

Heron got spooked by these little ducky babies

So pretty - looking across to Canada - Middle Bass Island

We still have a lot to do, have dinners to attend, family still to meet up with, so we think we have at least another 10 more days before we head out.  The worst part about being here?  The temperature has been hovering in the high 80's with at least 80% humidity.  We are struggling!  And no, we have not put the A/C on when we go away, just fans running.  The campground has lost power a couple of times and we would have fried the cats if the windows were shut.
