August 29, 2025 Summer is Doing What Summer Does
What a Summer!
And I haven't even written about all of it!
I'll be writing about Winter by next Spring at this rate!
But, you can't rush perfection!
There's perfection in allowing things to be what they are, when they are.
Everything in is own time is the way I look at it.
And it's been the perfect Summer on all counts.
Mom's friends Deb and Deb,
were able to get away to the Outer Banks (OBX) of North Carolina.
This is Deb Car, at the water's edge, looking perfectly relaxed.
Ahhh, at last
And these 2, perfecting the art of napping, while at the beach too.
Auggie and the one and only Emmett
Then there's Stella.
The purrfect pussycat, ruling the roost at Dawn's.

Next is our Onyx, observing my Mom's perfect horse memorial.
Everything seems to be in order
How about this quote by Michael J. Fox:
If we focus on what we're grateful for,
I think we'd see that our lives are pretty perfect.
At least while we're focused in that way!
My Mom's friend Georgie,
(the one and only owner of GPs in Guttenberg, NJ, my Mom's fave restaurant)
actually came to visit with his daughter and business partner.
My Mom was so happy.
The only thing more perfect than his visit,
would be if he'd open a restaurant here at Lake Tahoe!
GPs @ Lake Tahoe, Opening Soon (we wish!)
This little Summer cottage was perfect for this bird family.
Compliments of my Mom's friends Patti and Ray, from Nutley, NJ!
The perfect Summer cottage
Here's a second perfect quote for today, well, any day really:
And one more:
Don't let anyone dampen your perfection
How about this for a perfect 1st Birthday outfit?
If you can't guess by the fashion sense and strong-willed independence,
I'll tell you, it's my Mom and her Mom.
Ahh, this is what balance feels like
And then, a few years later,
my Mom and her big brother, Mark,
enjoying their pool on a perfect Summer afternoon.
My Mom advocating for more pool time
This next one, even more years later, is of my Mom at Greenwood Lake, NJ.
Not a perfect photo but visiting that lake,
was the roots of my Mom loving lakes, which IS perfect.
Thank you to the Enstrom family for always including her.
That lake water was pretty chilly
My last blog post spoke about wildflowers,
this photo would have been a perfect addition,
sorry Uncle Frank!
These Lake Tahoe wildflowers, were gathered by my Mom's sister, Robin.
So beautiful.
Lake Tahoe wildflowers
Here's another photo of Lake Baron,
by my Mom's friend and neighbor, Dawn.
This little lake is just perfect and set right in our neighborhood.
Lake Baron
Seems we have everything here at Lake Tahoe.
How perfect to have our own air balloon, right on the Lake!
My Mom's law school friend, Dan Belardinelli (attorney and artist),
had a perfectly great Summer,
which included promoting his art and clothing line,
in Florence, Italy, at Splen's.
He's so international!
his brand is IRREVRANT!
Dan and IRREVRANT
As the Summer moves along perfectly,
in its very Summer way,
we thank you for following as we weave each tale,
trying to connect our thoughts and photos with some kind of theme.
If you've come away with a brighter outlook on life itself,
or a kinder view towards yourself, other people and animals,
then we've accomplished what we set out to do.
LOVE,
Maisy❤️
