While mechanchaos was off, we got up to Alexandria Bay in the Thousand Islands for a respite from normalcy. The only definite plan we had was a reserved room in an inexpensive motor lodge and a wish to visit Boldt Castle.

We took each day as it came, got to have a lot of fun and a lot of relaxation at the same time. I swear, that's what vacations ought to be. It had no strict itinerary to follow, no planning ourselves ragged.

On the way back, I got to clamber over the rocks, wade in the water, skip some stones, and schlurple some Bev's soft serve in Oswego. It's funny. I miss the college more for the people and the lake than for the school itself. Feeling the seaweed in between my toes was like coming home, but a home that has been left mostly empty of what made it meaningful to me. Ah well.

Someday, I'd love a boat. Maybe a home on the water somewhere.

Oh, and it's less than three weeks until I have my hysterectomy now. The big countdown has begun.

Used to camp there when I was a wee little thing *grins*

***grins back*** We would've camped, but our tent is no longer waterproof. I need to either learn how to remedy that or get a new tent.
