Each year, over the first weekend in August, Minnowbrook hosts an alumni event featuring a guest speaker, excellent networking and conversation, great food and accommodations, and a wonderful back-to-nature atmosphere.
This year, the lake was quiet to start the weekend.
Pretty flowers in a hanging pot.
Finding yourself up the river without a paddle? . . . I know where the paddles are!
Free time means stitching time, in a shady spot on the dock.
The weather in the mountains can be unpredictable. Seemingly out of nowhere, a line of storms interrupted our Saturday afternoon free time. I opted to stay under cover by the lake and watched the rain create spiky shapes in the formerly placid water. Dave opted to take a hike.
Yep, he got wet. REALLY wet!
By Sunday morning, Blue Mountain Lake was back to a glass-like, serene surface.
Many thanks to the event organizers, and to our speaker, Shiu Kai Chin, Professor of Electrical Engineering at SU, who spoke about Cyper Security (giving new meaning to those numerous passwords we all struggle to keep organized?) during our 'educational' sessions.
Believe it or not, the topic and the interactive conversations were timely, thought-provoking, and fascinating!
Summer is flying by. Make the time to stitch and think in a quiet peaceful spot.
Happy Stitching!
Joan
