We had a totally relaxing weekend. Saturday night we had our friends John and Tricia over for dinner and their kids for a sleep-over with Emily. Mark made an absolutely amazing Beef in Red Wine that cooked the whole day and was super tender and delicious. The kids preferred Tricia's Banana Toff pie though :-)
Sunday morning Johnny called and Rose Island beckoned. We had a fabulous day with Johnny, Mary and their friends visiting from Texas. Emily was especially thrilled that Johnny brought 3 of his dogs (he has 9) along for the trip. We ate, swam, snorkeled, strolled on the beach and read in the shade.
The spots in the ocean in the front of this photo are Johnny and Mary. If you look at the darker part you can just make out Emily and Mark snorkeling over the reef.
When we arrived at the house we were greeted by the resident Osprey. A husband and wife has made Johnny's house their home.
Apparently Angus can get a little too enthusiastic about the boat ride and once had the misfortune of falling out. Mary is so anxious about it that now she makes him wear a life jacket. Does he look embarassed?

Wow, I just can't get over it that YOU LIVE IN PARADISE! That first shot is absolutely spectacular!! I'm ever so slightly jealous that you get to see sights like this every day. Especially since outside MY window, is a grey, damp, windy, cold, Canadian land-locked prairie, past-its-prime fall day.
I guess you're right about beauty wherever we are. Just posted pictures of my afternoon with the girls on Saturday ~ a cloudy, but beautiful Canadian prairie fall day.
Oh that looks so fantastic!!! I love looking at your photos and still trying to get my husband to move to paradise!
I would like to step into the computer and into that clear blue water...what a fun weekend!
