Day Dating Episode Three

Day date number three. To bring you up to speed we're aiming for 52 dates in 52 weeks. You'd think it would be pretty simple in retirement to make that happen, but sometimes it's a challenge here. 

Not all dates need to involve leaving town or an expensive meal, although stating for the record I'm not opposed to either of those things. The second half of October is jam packed so we opted for something in our own backyard last week. 

The lake. 

I know I'm like the blog world's version of your local weather reporter, but y'all the weather these past few weeks has been the nicest I can remember in all the falls we've lived here. Which would be nine!! 

Nine? Time flies. 

I talk about time flying almost as much as I talk about the weather. 

Anyway, back to our date. Somehow last week I'd scheduled my physical on Monday, the dentist on Wednesday, and then I had book club Tuesday afternoon and hubs was attending a work thing Tuesday evening so making space for a date required some figuring out. 

We persevered. 

I got home from the dentist around one on Wednesday and hubs had the boat ready to go. We had such a nice day. We rode north hoping to catch a bit of color, although it's still about a week away here. 

We passed some shoreline Halloween decor which was fun. 

We want to meet the people who live in this house. Not because of their Halloween decorations,  but because they have a wooden Chris Craft they've converted to a bar inside their house and we want a closer look. 

At one point we stopped in the middle of the lake and I did a 360 with my camera and did not see one other boat anywhere. It was like we had the lake all to ourselves. 

Later we did see a couple of fishermen, but mostly it was just me and the hubs. 

We had no agenda, just a ride on a sunny autumn day. We hung out at the mouth of a cove and listened to our Bible recap there which was nice too. 

And we took a selfie so we're 2 for 3 now.
