Lake Placid Pics

Some pics of Lake Placid, NY. I love this place!

To the left is a waterfall along High Falls Gorge - the hubby and I took a hike through this. Very beautiful - but for those who are afraid of heights, stay away! The walkways are suspended over the falls and river.

Below is a pic of Whiteface Mountain - still has snow in May!


This is the little cottage that we stayed in. We've been here twice - the first time was in November 2004, and that's when Jake proposed to me! We love this place! Cathy, the owner, is the best hostess and the cottage is the perfect spot to "just get away"! If you're interested in staying here, just go to this website: www.thehighlandcottage.com

ME above - playing mini-golf.

My hubby, Jake, to the left. We had a wonderful time together.

Crazy life meets kids

So, even though my own normal, insane, hectic world continues to run at that pace, we've now hit the spring months where my kids lives and activities add even more insanity to my daily existence. T-ball, minor league, and softball have begun! And add in that we still have ballet practice for my little one, that all makes for particularly busy weeknights. Just got to love it! Does anyone else have the joys of chaos in their lives? I'm sure I'm not the only one.
So, on we go. The hubby and I took the much needed vacay for the weekend up to Lake Placid. Absolutely loved it! The weather was beautiful and the scenery was perfect. I did get a chance for some writing - actually started revamping an old WIP that I began a while ago. Lots of work left to do on that one. Conal & Riane have jumped ship for now, and Laena's slowly inching her way out of the shadows, but as my reality is chaotic, so is my writing style. I am definitely a "pantser" - constantly shifting gears, changing modes, with barely a set final goal in mind other than to finish a manuscript!!
RWA conference is getting closer and closer each day though and I can't wait to go! I know that Holly and I are going to have an awesome time and I'm very much looking forward to all of the workshops that we'll be taking and all of the wonderful people we'll be meeting. It's an exciting time and I know will be beneficial to both of us. Plus - having a nice vacation with my best friend is the best way to enjoy the time away from home. We haven't had a girls night since we were in high school - definitely long overdue! Hol - we're going to have sooo much fun!!
