It sure makes everything easier and more enjoyable to have someone to share it all with. I’m not sure if the answer is yes, but I can say that I’m very happy to have a partner in this adventure. I often think about whether I could do everything by myself here on the lake if I were alone. Dennis ran in and got our light, brought it out and installed it. Boats getting gas, people picking up last minute supplies – all with happy faces, moving quickly here and there to get ready for the night. Ringo’s was busy with the holiday vacationers. The difference in the boat is that the driver sits on the right. Ha! In the boat, we stick to the right side of the water when passing, the same as we do in a car on the road here in the US. If you see red and green, the boat is coming towards you – that means move over. Dennis taught me what the lights meant – red means the boat is moving right to left across the water, green means the boat is moving left to right. ![]() We stopped by Ringo’s Marina near the public boat dock and picked up a battery operated light. Our boat was still illegal – it’s green/red front navigation light was out. We spent some time chatting after dinner and then we all headed over to the campground – them in their car and us in the boat. I’d made the pie one other time and I was thrilled that it came out as delicious as it had the first time. For dinner we had grilled hamburgers, grilled corn on the cob, barbecue beans, and for dessert we had homemade caramel apple pie from scratch. We enjoyed the beautiful weather out on the deck with drinks and snacks. Dennis’ parents came to the dinner party and brought along two of their friends that were unexpectedly in the area. Six months of anticipation thinking of how incredible it would feel to float on the water and watch the glory that is a great fireworks show over the water. I had been waiting for this moment since the night we moved in. It was July 1st – the coast spreads out the dates for their different shows creating several options within 20 miles in either direction our little town of shows to view. We had a lovely little dinner party at our house on the lake that evening before the fireworks.
